Chinese Tech company OnePlus are known for producing some fantastic, premium, yet affordable smartphones with the Nord 2 and the OnePlus 10 Pro.
Aside from the other tech they make, they have also made some quality earbuds - but recently they have released a budget-focused model that tries to merge some of their high-end tech into a cheaper form.
Those familiar with OnePlus will recognise the name Nord as the name of one of their midrange smartphones, and with the Nord buds they seem to be trying to do something similar by transplanting some of those higher-end features into a budget device.
The Nord buds come in only black, which doesn’t bother me too much although some people may be disappointed in the lack of colours.
At 27 x 20 x 23mm these are a very compact pair of buds, and at 4.2g they are very lightweight with even the case being incredibly light at only 41g, making these very easy to carry in your pocket without issues.
With a standard earbuds shape and silicone ear tips, the most notable detail is the strange, short but flat stems that make it easy to remove from your ear.
