OnePlus Buds Pro Design OnePlus Buds Pro does have a lot of fresh design input. You can see this across the earpieces and charging case, including the matte-gloss combination of finishes and the round casings. The earpieces weigh 4.35g each, while the charging case weighs 52g. The earpiece casings have a neat matte black finish, while the stems have a glossy dark grey finish. Interestingly, the earpieces have no logos or markings, apart from the ‘L’ and ‘R’ to signify which earpiece goes where. Unlike the OnePlus Buds, the OnePlus Buds Pro earpieces have a proper in-canal fit to ensure isolation for the active noise cancellation to be effective. Performance The glossy stems of the earpieces are touch-sensitive, but not in the traditional sense. Instead of detecting simple taps and swipes, the controls work the same way as on the Apple Airpods Pro– you have to squeeze the stems of the earpieces. This also creates a soft clicking sound in the earphones to give the impression of pressing a physical button. It’s implemented well and is a far better and more precise way to control the earphones than the common touch controls I’ve tried on many other true wireless earphones. Play/ pause (single-press), next track (double-press), and call controls are fixed and can’t be changed, but the triple-press and long-press controls can be modified through the Bluetooth settings on a supported OnePlus smartphone, or through the HeyMelody app on other Android or iOS smartphones. Battery and Charging The charging case of the OnePlus Buds Pro looks a bit plain and ordinary on the outside, but it feels well-made and isn’t very large despite having a 520mAh battery. A OnePlus logo is etched onto the top, an indicator light is at the front just below the lid, and the back has a USB Type-C port for charging. Interestingly, the earpieces are IP55 rated for dust and water resistance, and the case is also IPX4 rated for water resistance.
