OnePlus has expanded its premium audio offerings with the launch of the Buds Pro 3 in a striking Sapphire Blue color, coinciding with the release of its flagship smartphones, the OnePlus 13 and 13R. This new color option complements the existing Lunar Radiance and Midnight Opus variants, allowing consumers to enjoy a fresh aesthetic choice while benefiting from advanced technology and features.

The Sapphire Blue variant of the Buds Pro 3 maintains the series' signature dual-tone finish, sporting a glossy stem with a matte upper section that enhances its modern look. The accompanying charging case, which has a pebble shape and a luxurious leathery texture, provides not only functionality but also a superior in-hand feel. Priced starting at Rs 11,999, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 will be available for open sale from January 10 at 12 PM, with a temporary price reduction of Rs 1,000 until January 26, 2025. Moreover, customers using ICICI Bank credit cards can avail an additional discount, bringing the effective price down to Rs 9,999 (source: Times of India).

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is packed with features that cater to audiophiles, having been co-created with Dynaudio to offer an immersive sound experience. With dual drivers – an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter – and an integrated Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), the earbuds manage to deliver a balanced audio output across different music genres. Moreover, capabilities such as adaptive noise cancellation of up to 50dB make these earbuds particularly appealing to music lovers who wish to drown out ambient noise. Google’s spatial audio support and the use of the LHDC 5.0 codec guarantee high-resolution audio streaming for an enhanced listening experience (source: Times of India).

Among the significant upgrades, the earbuds feature the Steady Connect function, which enhances Bluetooth connection strength, allowing users connectivity up to 360 meters in open environments, even under potential interference. OnePlus has also introduced an AI Translation feature for seamless communication when interacting with bilingual speakers.

The battery life is a notable highlight, promising up to 43 hours of total playback with the charging case and 10 hours for standalone use without Active Noise Cancellation. Quick charging capabilities allow for over 5 hours of playback after just a 10-minute charge, making them perfect for users on the go.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 in Sapphire Blue not only brings a vibrant new option but also maintains premium features that set them apart in the audio market. Their combination of sophisticated technology, effective noise cancellation, and attractive design solidifies their status as a top choice for those seeking a premium true wireless audio experience.
