What the OnePlus Nord Buds 4 offer
The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 offer ANC that reaches up to 52 dB. This ANC works in real-time by continuously monitoring and adapting to surrounding noise across a wide 5,000Hz frequency range. It’s also said to significantly improve voice noise reduction, while Transparency mode allows for better awareness of the environment.

On the sound front, the Nord Buds 4 use 12mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers that deliver deeper and punchier bass. Users can customise the audio through Sound Master EQ with presets like Balanced, Serenade, and Bass Mode, plus a fully adjustable six-band equaliser. For calls, the earbuds feature six microphones supported by AI Clear Call technology. This setup effectively cuts down wind and traffic noise, allowing clear conversations even in windy conditions up to 25 km/h.
The earbuds also support 3D Spatial Audio for immersive listening on compatible OnePlus devices and offer Game Sound Spatial Audio with an ultra-low 47 ms latency, making them suitable for mobile gaming. OnePlus claims the earbuds can offer up to 54 hours of total playback time when using the charging case with ANC turned off. The earbuds themselves provide up to 13 hours on a single charge without ANC, and a quick 10-minute fast charge delivers up to 11 hours of use.
The case and buds are also TÜV Rheinland certified for over 1,000 charge cycles. Each earbud weighs just 4.3 grams and features an ergonomic shape tested on more than 1,000 different ear models. They come with IP55 dust and water resistance, while the case has a matte finish.
Connectivity features include Bluetooth 6.1 for stable performance and extended range, dual-device pairing, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair. Just like previous OnePlus TWS releases, the Nord Buds 4 get touch controls for controlling music and ANC modes. Additional smart features like AI Translate and AI Assistant are available on supported devices.
Overall, they improve upon the previous Nord Buds 3 with deeper ANC, stronger drivers, longer battery life, and better gaming performance, positioning them as a strong choice for everyday users, commuters, and gamers. If you’re currently using Nord Buds 2 or other budget-oriented TWS, the ANC and battery life improvements make this a compelling upgrade. However, if you own the Nord Buds 3, the jump might not be significant enough unless enhanced ANC is a top priority.
