I am using these earbuds for almost 4-5 days and for almost 6-7 hours so my review is gonna be long. I will tell some pro/cons about these earbuds.Pros:1. Their design is awesome as their fit won’t be giving you any discomfort.2. Build quality is top notch but not very premium so they kinda justify their price point.3. Bass is very good so audiophiles can relax, treble is also balanced so audio is not drowned in bass, lastly the mid is crisp so the vocals sound loud and clear.4. Hey Melody app will add lot of value to already value added earbuds, however pro model and non pro models come with different set of features aka their is no transparency mode in non pro models and no on/off feature.5. Great touch sensitivity as their are no issues to it and they function perfectly.Cons:1. Questionable battery life(not bad), these earbuds claim a lot of battery life but that’s not true at all. You will get 5-7 hours with ANC on and if you turn it off then you might get 7-9 hours which is good.2. ANC is also questionable as its good but not perfect as you can still hear things if it’s turned on. 49db is just marketing gimmick.3. Delay in audio if connected to 2 devices, if you connect 2 devices then there will be delay in one device, mostly like a lag when you are listening to songs, that goes away when its just one device.4. Pricing of Pro and Non-Pro model. This one costed me like 2700 and non-pro model is 2000 and it makes no sense as there are just 2 features missing from non-pro model that is on/off and ambient noise so if that’s not important for you go with non-pro model as 700 extra is just a waste as they sound similar, the 32db and 49db ANC is just marketing gimmick as my friend had non-pro model and it sounded similar to mine with ANC.Conclusion: Go with pro model if you want transparency mode as that’s something I use a lot and if not just buy the non-pro model. These are very good earbuds. They are also the best when it comes to ANC and other features as same features are costing a lot in different brands. Lastly I am attaching 3 EQ presets (Balance, Vocal, Bass) which are better than the default ones as they are up a notch, hopefully it helps others if they want to customise their earbuds sound profile, you can tweak them if you want something extra.P.S The Cost cutting with packaging is appalling, I got previous nord buds box and its solid cardboard but this one is just filmsy paper box.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 less than three months ago, hoping for a reliable audio companion for daily use. As someone who uses earphones more than the average person, durability and a reasonable level of resistance are important factors for me. Size and fit were fine, I was pleased with it's performance until the issues started.Usage & Expectations:My usage pattern involves frequent listening, primarily indoors in air-conditioned environments. While I do sweat more than average, I specifically avoid using earphones during workouts. My exposure to sweat typically happens during commutes or when stepping outside briefly. Given the IP55 rating, which suggests protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, I reasonably expected the Nord Buds 3 to handle this level of sweat – equivalent to what a regular person might encounter. I never exposed them to rain or dropped them in water.The Failure Point - After Just 10 Weeks:Unfortunately, my experience fell drastically short. In just around 10 weeks (less than 3 months), I started experiencing significant connection issues. Upon inspection, I noticed corrosion or damage on the charging contact points. Significantly, all four contact points on the buds were affected simultaneously.The connection problems manifested in frustrating ways:Even after placing the buds back into the charging case, my phone would often still show them as connected and in use, draining their battery unnecessarily.Conversely, sometimes when taking the buds out of the case, they wouldn't connect or function at all, acting as if they were still stored inside.This erratic behavior points directly to the damaged contact points failing to correctly signal whether the buds were docked or undocked. While sweat is corrosive, the simultaneous failure of all four points in such a short time raises questions about whether this was solely due to sweat ingress or potentially indicative of a manufacturing defect or design flaw compromising the seals or contact materials. The IP55 rating certainly led me to believe they should have withstood this level of exposure.Horrible Service Experience:Seeking a solution under warranty, I visited the OnePlus service center. I clearly pointed out the damage to the contact points and described the specific connection issues. Despite this, I was made to wait for approximately 45 minutes, only to be told that the warranty claim was denied due to "liquid damage," citing the shorted contact points.This response was incredibly frustrating. The service felt dismissive, with no real consideration given to the rapid failure time, the specific symptoms linked directly to contact failure, the simultaneous failure of all contacts, or the potential discrepancy between the advertised IP rating and real-world performance.Warranty Policy vs. Expectation:It was only after this denial that the specifics of the warranty became starkly clear. I understand now that OnePlus's official warranty policy may explicitly exclude any form of liquid damage, including sweat. However, even knowing the policy, the overall experience remains deeply unsatisfactory. For a product rated IP55 to fail from moderate, non-exercise sweat exposure in such a short timeframe is concerning. I expected a better experience – both from the product lasting significantly longer than 10 weeks and from a customer service interaction that felt less like an immediate dismissal.Conclusion:My experience with the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 has been extremely disappointing. The earphones failed completely in about 10 weeks due to apparent sweat damage causing critical contact point failure, despite an IP55 rating and careful, non-exercise use. The simultaneous failure of all contact points is suspicious. While OnePlus may not cover liquid damage under warranty according to their policy, the rapid product failure combined with a dismissive and unhelpful service experience leaves a very poor impression.Based on this, I cannot recommend the OnePlus Nord Buds 3, especially to individuals who might expose them to even moderate sweat. The practical durability seems questionable, and the after-sales support was lacking. Potential buyers should be wary. I am now forced to find replacement earphones far sooner than acceptable.
