"Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET In terms of design, OnePlus Buds 4 are a mix of Nord Buds 3 Pro and Buds 3 Pro. They live in a shell case, which has a metal feel and matte finish. It doesn't have a grippy, leather-like textured finish from the Buds 3 Pro, which makes it slippery. In fact, I've accidentally dropped it twice in my 10-day usage, and have had to consciously be more careful taking it out of my pocket."
"The earbuds themselves are light and comfortable to wear. OnePlus has flattened the stem, a design element taken from the Nord Buds lineup, which makes them feel bulkier than before. However, it doesn't impact the wearability. I've worn them for extended periods without any issues. They fit me well and don't fall off easily. I've worn them on runs, in flights, on commutes, and while walking around the busy streets of New York. They haven't fallen out of my ears accidentally, even once."
OnePlus Buds 4 combine several Pro-level audio features—dual DAC, larger dual drivers and LHDC 5.0—into a more affordable model while keeping high audio fidelity. The earbuds deliver strong active noise cancellation that offsets most drawbacks. The charging case uses a metal-feel matte finish that lacks the previous grippy texture and can be slippery in pockets, sometimes leading to accidental drops. The flattened stem design increases perceived bulk but retains long-wear comfort and secure fit during runs, flights and commutes. Touch-sensitive controls on the outer stem create a recurring annoyance that affects daily use.
