"The sit below the Pro model in name, but they borrow some of its best features and pack them into a more affordable price tag. With a handful of upgrades over their predecessor, the OnePlus Buds 4 feature a new dual DAC system, larger dual drivers, LHDC 5.0 and the same audio quality I've come to expect from the brand."
"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-tier audio features into a lower-priced package, adding a dual DAC, larger dual drivers and LHDC 5.0 for enhanced sound. Strong active noise cancellation stands out as a key strength that offsets minor downsides. The charging case offers a metal-feel matte finish but lacks a grippy texture, making it slippery and prone to accidental drops during carry. The earbuds use a flattened stem design that feels bulkier but remains comfortable for extended wear and stays secure during runs, flights and commutes. A touch-control area on the outer stem creates a recurring daily annoyance.
