OnePlus Buds V Specifications:
The Buds V is equipped with 12.4mm titanium-plated dynamic drivers, ensuring rich bass and clear sound across different music genres. The device offers a "Dolby Panoramic Sound" feature for an immersive listening experience, especially when used with a OnePlus phone that supports Dolby Atmos technology.
The audio experience can be further tailored with three preset sound modes – Balanced, Deep Bass, and Clear & Bright – or personalized EQ settings through the HeyMelody app.
For crystal-clear calls, the Buds V employs dual microphones with AI-driven noise cancellation to eliminate background noise and enhance voice clarity. The design is ergonomic and secure, with a contoured shape that fits comfortably in the ear. Each earbud weighs only 4.3 grams, ensuring a lightweight and snug fit for long listening periods.
Battery Life and Connectivity:
The Buds V offers up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge and an impressive total of 38 hours when combined with the charging case. A quick 1-hour charge delivers 5 hours of playback, ensuring you stay powered up during commutes or workouts.
In terms of connectivity, the earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.3, providing a stable connection with a low latency of 94ms, ideal for watching videos or gaming. The charging case comes with a Type-C port and can be easily paired with your smartphone through a pop-up window upon opening.
The earbuds are compatible with OnePlus phones running ColorOS 11/OxygenOS 11 and above, as well as Android devices with Android 7.0 and higher.
