The new earbuds came with a leather textured rounded casing. The unit itself uses two-tone colors with a light shade on the stem and a darker shade on the earbud. Speaking of which, this comes in White or Black colorways.

The main highlight is the inclusion of dual DACs, OnePlus explained that 1 DAC drives the woofer (11mm), while the other is connected to the tweeter (6mm). Furthermore, the woofer design now employs two magnets, which is an enhancement from the previous. Meanwhile, both the woofer and tweeter have new diaphragms.

The earbud's design

It retains the Dynaudio tuning, while it also uses six-axis IMU and OnePlus proprietary spatial rendering algorithm to provide users immersive listening.

The earbuds also have a stronger up to 50dB Adaptive Noise Cancellation feature to eliminate unwanted noise when listening to your multimedia apps. It also automatically adjusts the level of cancellation based on your surroundings.

For battery, each bud uses 58mAh capacity with up to 10 hours of juice when ANC is off and 6 hours if ANC is ON. It is also paired with 566mAh on the charging case with a total of 43 to 25.5 hours depending on cancellation usage.

It can be charged through the USB-C port which has a fast charging feature of 10 minutes for 13 hours of listening. There's also a wireless charging feature which takes up to 2 hours 30 mins to full.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 includes three microphones and a Voice Pick Up (VPU) bone sensor in each bud. They are dust and water-resistant to IP55 standards (but the casing is not). 

For connectivity, it has Bluetooth 5.4 with LHDC 5.0 for Hi-Res audio transmission and AAC standard codec. It also supports Google Fast Pair and retains the 94ms latency.
