The OnePlus Buds are the company's first truly wireless earbuds. And even better, they will support the new OnePlus Nord mid-range smartphone, which will launch in a few weeks.

In an official OnePlus statement, OnePlus acknowledged rumors that it will launch a true wireless earphone. However, OnePlus did not say more than that, as the company is keeping many details under wraps until the OnePlus Nord launch event on July 21.

According to the press release, the OnePlus Buds "feature high-quality audio playback and ease of use on the go, eliminating all wires for a truly free sound experience." While this is not very specific, it is evidence that the company continues to pursue the "no burden" design goals it has set forth in all of its previous products, including the excellent OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.

These new buds are something the company had previously hinted at in a tweet last week. There is also a possible design leak from leaker Max J. According to the leak, the buds resemble Apple's AirPods, with a plastic design all around, including the tips, and a round-shaped charging case to match.

OnePlus has already had some success with wireless audio; the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2, which came out in 2019 with the OnePlus 7 Pro, is a great-sounding Bluetooth earphone with a low price and sleek design It was. However, the tether connecting the two buds together made the buds look a bit dated compared to Apple's AirPods and Samsung's Galaxy Buds Plus.

The OnePlus Buds and OnePlus Nord will be unveiled at the AR launch event on July 21, and the Nord is definitely the star of the show, offering quad rear cameras, dual front cameras, 90Hz displays, and 5G support for under $500. It is said to offer flagship-level features. It is set to launch in Europe (including the UK), but not yet in the US. However, if the Nord is as good as it sounds, hopefully OnePlus will change its mind.
