Launching in mid-2025, these true wireless earbuds aim to offer gaming enthusiasts crystal-clear calls, immersive music playback, and ultra-low latency. With total battery life, dual-device connectivity, and a sleek ergonomic design, the OnePlus Buds 4 promise exceptional everyday performance. But are they really the best earbuds in their price category? In this article, let’s learn about the specifications and features.
Hybrid ANC that blocks 55dB of noise
OnePlus Buds 4 advertises real-time adaptive hybrid ANC capable of suppressing up to 55dB across a wide frequency range up to 5.5kHz, automatically adjusting 800 times per second for optimal performance in different environments.
Casual users report that this ANC effectively silences heavy ambient noises like road traffic and office chatter — performance comparable to some high-end brands at a lower price point.
Dual Drivers + Dual DACs = Rich, Detailed Sound
OnePlus Buds 4 has retained its acclaimed coaxial dual-driver design and enhanced it with dual DACs, which enable clearer highs, tighter bass, and more overall audio detail. “Golden Sound” tuning dynamically adapts to your ear profile for a personalized listening experience.
This combination of hardware and software tuning delivers balanced sound across a variety of genres – warm mids, punchy bass, without muddiness.
Triple mics and AI to enhance voice
For voice calls, the Buds4 offers a triple-microphone array with AI noise reduction, filtering out background noise and wind to maintain clarity in noisy situations.
AI-powered real-time translation
AI real-time voice translation is a standout feature, perfect for traveling, studying, or overcoming language barriers.

With gaming mode offering latency of up to 47ms, they are ideal for mobile gaming and reduce lip-sync when watching videos. These buds also support dual-device connection and stable connection, ensuring smooth switching and stable Bluetooth outdoors.
Long battery life and fast charging
OnePlus Buds 4 has solid playback figures:
Up to 11 hours on a single earbud charge (ANC off), about 6 hours with ANC on
