Build and Design:
Very good in-hand feel. Good and sturdy build. Feels like a long lasting one for sure. A good fit for ears. Feels lightweight and can be plugged in for longer durations.
Sound:
If you're a Bass lover, you'll get addicted soon. The detailed clarity of notes is breathtaking. Not of the high end quality but atleast safe to say it exceeded expectations at this price range.
On flipside, tha bass overpowers the vocal strength, so keep an eye on it.
On the app, I would recommend to turn the "Oneplus 3d Audio" mode on at all times. Will be a wonderful experience for audiophiles.
ANC:
Powerful noise-cancelling even with heavy outdoor noises. 3 modes of ANC plus transparency mode as well. You'll feel the deafening silence while indoors if tuned to Max.
App Support:
Hey Melody app is a gamechanger. Allows you to have numerous customisations. It's quick and accurate. Always check on the firmware updates for better listening.
Portability:
Safe to carry around. Pocket friendly as well as grippy at most times. The matte finish allows grippy handling. I would have loved the same for the earbuds as well. But overall ain't complaining.
It got a slider for volume control which is a welcoming upgrade.
Battery life:
Excellent battery life even with ANC on. Can go without charge even for a week with moderate usage. Fast charging support as well.
Flops:
1) The earbuds got a glossy finish. So a fingerprint magnet for sure.
2) It supports LHDC but not LDAC. So phones other than Oneplus/Oppo/Realme and some Xiaomi phones don't support LHDC. A bit disappointing though.
3) Not enough ingress protection (IP) for the case alone. IPX4 is not a welcoming move.
Verdict:
An all-rounder TWS with a premium look and features at a budget price. With the Oneplus 3d Audio you'll feel being in a private concert tuned exclusively for your ear's needs. LDAC would have made it a must buy. Rest assured, this is a blockbuster!
A Highly recommended product.
