OnePlus has expanded its audio lineup in India with the launch of the Nord Buds 4 Pro, bringing major upgrades in noise cancellation, sound quality, and connectivity features. The new TWS earbuds aim to strengthen OnePlus’s position in the competitive budget premium audio segment.
The launch comes as demand for high-performance yet affordable wireless earbuds continues to rise in India, driven by gaming, streaming, and remote work usage.
Massive Upgrade in Noise Cancellation Technology
One of the biggest highlights of the Nord Buds 4 Pro is its powerful Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 55dB. This is a significant improvement over the previous generation and places the device among the strongest ANC performers in its category.
The company claims that the upgraded ANC system is designed to block deep background noise such as traffic, aircraft engines, and crowded environments, offering a more immersive listening experience.
Spatial Audio and Gaming Experience Boost
The earbuds also introduce 3D Spatial Audio and Gaming Spatial Audio, designed to create a more cinematic sound experience. This feature helps users feel directional sound effects while watching movies or playing games.
With increasing demand for mobile gaming in India, this addition makes the Nord Buds 4 Pro more appealing to younger users.
LHDC 5.0 and High-Resolution Audio Support
For audiophiles, the earbuds support LHDC 5.0 high-resolution codec, which allows higher-quality wireless audio streaming compared to standard Bluetooth codecs.
This enables clearer vocals, deeper bass, and improved sound separation when paired with compatible smartphones.
Powerful 12mm Drivers and Enhanced Sound Output
The device features 12mm titanium-coated drivers, which OnePlus claims deliver stronger bass and improved clarity compared to previous models.
Reports suggest the drivers offer significantly higher output power, making the sound profile more dynamic and richer across frequencies.
Improved Call Quality with Multi-Mic System
Each earbud is equipped with multiple microphones supporting AI-based noise reduction. This improves voice clarity during calls even in noisy environments.
This makes the earbuds suitable for office calls, online meetings, and outdoor usage.
Design, Controls and Battery Efficiency
The Nord Buds 4 Pro come with a lightweight in-ear design and refined touch controls. Users can adjust volume, manage playback, and switch modes directly from the earbuds.
The charging case has also been redesigned to be more compact while maintaining battery efficiency, making it easier to carry.
Market Position and Competition
With features like 55dB ANC, spatial audio, and LHDC support, the Nord Buds 4 Pro directly compete with other mid-range TWS earbuds in India.
The combination of premium features at a budget price point is expected to strengthen OnePlus’s position in the fast-growing wireless audio market.
Conclusion
The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro represent a strong upgrade in the budget TWS segment, offering flagship-level features like high ANC, spatial audio, and high-resolution audio support at an accessible price point.
JanDrishti Insights
The launch reflects a broader industry trend where budget audio devices are rapidly adopting premium features once limited to flagship earbuds. With India’s growing demand for gaming and streaming audio devices, brands like OnePlus are aggressively pushing advanced sound technologies into affordable segments. This could further intensify competition in the TWS market in 2026.
