OnePlus sale delivers deep discounts on exciting smartphones and wireless earbuds
OnePlus is offering deep discounts on some of its best smartphones, along with excellent pricing on its wireless earbuds.
OnePlus had some exciting announcements last month, not only sharing details about its latest handset, the OnePlus 11, but also delivering new wireless earbuds and a tablet. If you weren't looking for the latest and greatest from OnePlus, you can always take advantage of some of the excellent deals the company is now offering on some of its previous models. For a limited time, the company has new promotions on its OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus N20, Nord Buds, and the Buds Z2.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will be among the first TWS earbuds to support Android 13's Spatial Audio feature
The earbuds launch early next month alongside the OnePlus 11
Google introduced Spatial Audio with head tracking support in Android 13, and the company's latest flagship smartphones recently picked up support for the feature. Although Google has confirmed that its premium TWS earbuds, the Pixel Buds Pro, will also support Spatial Audio with head tracking, the company is yet to release a firmware update to enable the feature on the earbuds. While we wait for Google to release the update, OnePlus has confirmed that its upcoming Buds Pro 2 will be among the first TWS earbuds to support Android 13's spatial audio feature, and it might beat the Pixel Buds Pro to the punch.
The OnePlus Buds are starting to fail for some people
Several OnePlus Buds owners have encountered an issue where the left earbud stops playing audio, with seemingly no fix in sight.
The OnePlus Buds are some of our favorite true wireless earbuds on the market, and their price makes them a cheap alternative to the Apple AirPods. But beware: Some OnePlus Buds owners have encountered an issue that might make future owners think twice about buying them.

HeyMelody app by OnePlus provides OTA updates for OnePlus and OPPO earbuds on other Android devices
The new HeyMelody app by OnePlus is needed to deliver firmware updates to OPPO and OnePlus earbuds if you are using a non-OnePlus device.
OnePlus recently made its first fully wireless earbuds, called the OnePlus Buds. We’ve reviewed them, and they’re amazing for the price. These were followed up with the OnePlus Buds Z, which provide a more affordable option. OnePlus hopes that you use these accessories with their phones, but that doesn't mean that they won't work with other phones. However, features become a little limited, as you need the OnePlus Buds app for certain features such as delivering firmware updates. OnePlus had mentioned that it was working on another app to bring these features to non-OnePlus phones, and now it has delivered. The new HeyMelody app helps users of OnePlus and OPPO earbuds receive firmware updates for their wearables.

OnePlus is finally making a dedicated OnePlus Buds app for third-party phones
OnePlus has confirmed that they will make an app so that phones that are not running OxygenOS can use the OnePlus Buds as they should be.
OnePlus recently made its first fully wireless earbuds, called the OnePlus Buds. We've reviewed them, and they're amazing for the price. But of course, being a OnePlus product (even though U.S. customs think they're Apple knockoffs), the company expects you to use them with OnePlus smartphones. This doesn't mean that they don't work with other phones, you can use them, but certain features such as customizing the double-tap gestures need the OnePlus Buds app, which requires you to have the OnePlus 6 or newer running OxygenOS. OnePlus is, however, making an app so that users with older OnePlus devices as well as phones from other manufacturers can use the Buds in their full glory.
[Update: CBP Doubles Down] US customs seized 2,000 OnePlus Buds thinking they're counterfeit Apple AirPods
The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has seized 2,000 OnePlus Buds at JFK airport for looking too similar to Apple AirPods.
OnePlus' first pair of truly wireless earphones — the OnePlus Buds — were unveiled last month alongside the OnePlus Nord. The earbuds featured a design similar to the first-gen Apple AirPods, with half in-ear style earbuds and an oval case. However, unlike other AirPods clones out there, the OnePlus Buds do have some noticeable differences (branding and packaging being the most obvious ones) that would help anyone identify that they aren't counterfeit AirPods. But apparently these differences aren't as major, as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently seized them mistaking them as Apple AirPods.
OnePlus Buds are now available in Gray in the U.S.
The OnePlus Buds are the company's first pair of truly wireless earbuds, and they're available in the United States, now in a Gray color.
When the OnePlus Buds launched in the U.S., they were only available in a glossy white color. Now, OnePlus has opened up sales for a version in gray, giving consumers a sleek, stealthy option for the back to school season.
Google Pixel Buds, OnePlus Buds, and other Fast Pair devices now appear in Find My Device
Several Fast Pair devices such as the Google Pixel Buds and the OnePlus Buds have now started to appear in the Find My Device service. Read on for more!
Google announced Fast Pair back in 2017, showing off its vision on how the first-time pairing experience of Bluetooth accessories can be improved. Devices like the original Google Pixel Buds came with support for this new experience, and these were followed by dozens of other accessories. Fast Pair as a feature-set is also gaining new features over time. Recently, Google rolled out location tracking, battery notifications, and new settings for Fast Pair devices. Of these, the location tracking feature "Find My Device" is now rolling out to more devices like the second-generation Google Pixel Buds and the OnePlus Buds.
OxygenOS 10.5.2 for the OnePlus Nord adds OnePlus Buds support
OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 10.5.2 for the OnePlus Nord, which brings OnePlus Buds support for the device, along with a few improvements.
Just a day after OnePlus hosted its AR launch event and unveiled the highly anticipated OnePlus Nord and OnePlus Buds, the company has started rolling out the second software update for its new mid-ranger. The update, OxygenOS v10.5.2, measures 143MB in size and brings official support for the OnePlus Buds to the device, Android security patches for July 2020, minor improvements for the camera, and more.
OnePlus Buds Review - Good audio, better price
The OnePlus Buds are an excellent set of truly wireless earphones, launched alongside the OnePlus Nord. How do they stack up? Check out our review here!
OnePlus has just unveiled the OnePlus Nord, undoubtedly the star of the company's Augmented Reality-powered show. Alongside the OnePlus Nord, the company also announced the OnePlus Buds, a pair of truly wireless earbuds for just ₹4,990/$79/£79/€89. I've been using them for a few days now and really like them for the price. They've been the only truly wireless earphones to pull me away from the OPPO Enco Q1 wireless earphones that I've been using since late last year. I've reviewed the Honor Magic Buds, I got a pair of the Mi True Wireless 2 earphones, and yet the OnePlus Buds have trumped them both.
OnePlus Buds are TWS earbuds with 30 hour total battery life for ₹4,990/$79
OnePlus Buds are the company's first truly wireless earbuds that offer up to 30 hours of battery life, fast charging support, and more at just $79.
During OnePlus' AR launch event earlier today, the company's hype train finally culminated its months-long journey, and the OnePlus Nord was unveiled. Along with its new mid-range device, OnePlus also launched its first pair of truly wireless earbuds — the OnePlus Buds. The company's new TWS earbuds look a bit like the recently released Vivo TWS Neo earbuds, with a pebble-shaped case and a half-in-ear style hardshell earbuds. But while the OnePlus Buds may look familiar on the outside, on the inside, things are a bit different.
