The market of affordable earbuds is about to get another member in the face of the OnePlus Nord Buds 4. The cute pair of buds was teased on OnePlus' official X account and comes with impressive specs.
OnePlus Nord Buds 4 launch date revealed
OnePlus posted on X a poster of the Nord Buds 4, revealing the official launch date — June 25. The buds will initially go on sale in India, given the OnePlus account that posted the news, but a global release should follow shortly.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 is the step-down model from the already officially announced Pro model, but the difference in specs is minimal. Speaking of specs.

OnePlus Nord Buds 4 specs and features

The buds come with active noise cancellation up to 52dB and six separate microphones to take care of the unwanted noise, as well as provide good call quality.
According to the teaser and Amazon listing, the Nord Buds 4 will feature 12mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, similar to those in the Pro model.
OnePlus says these drivers will deliver rich bass and crisp highs, but we need to test these claims to pass a final judgment.
Further down the specs sheet we find 54 hours of total battery life with the charging case, Spatial Audio support (on select OnePlus and Oppo smartphones), and two color options — Light Green and Black.
Each bud weighs only 4.3 grams, so these should be quite comfortable to wear for extended periods.
Price and global availability?

The teaser doesn't mention a price tag, but judging by the price of the previous model, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3, as well as the starting price of the Pro, we can deduce that the Nord Buds 4 will cost around $60.
There's no information on global availability yet, as the new model will launch in India first, which is a key market for the Nord brand. Expect the buds to be available through OnePlus' online store globally in a month or two.
The state of the budget headphones market
There are so many budget headphones out there that one could feel lost browsing through different brands and models. OnePlus already has a line of earbuds under its main brand, and to make things even harder for the customers, Nothing, Carl Pei's baby company, also has several cool-looking earbuds.
What to do? Don't succumb to the hype and stay objective. Compare the specs of the budget models from different brands, check the best price, and finally, read some reviews. That said, the Nord Buds 4 look pretty good on paper, so we can't wait to take them for a spin.
