OnePlus Nord Buds appear in live photos, confirm design
OnePlus is expected to launch TWS earphones under its affordable Nord brand. We saw renders of the alleged audio wearables, and today they were certified by the FCC. The listing came with photos of the actual earphones, as well as information about the battery capacity and what to expect in the retail box.
The buds will come with a small circular touch area and will have a short, wide, flat stem.
The OnePlus Nord Buds will have a 480 mAh battery in the case, while each bud will come with a 41 mAh battery. There appears to be a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging.
The name is also confirmed as well as the Black color version, but we expect at least one more option, likely white. The case has a model number E505A, with both buds sporting E505AR and E505AL. They were also spotted at BIS, meaning a launch in India is imminent.
The biggest question is how much would these TWS earbuds cost – currently, OnePlus sells its most affordable audio wearables, the Buds Z2, for $99/€99/INR4,999, but the Nord Buds should be able to go lower.
