Description:
The OnePlus Buds V resemble the Nords Buds 2, but with several new changes such as Dolby Panoramic Sound.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

OnePlus has debuted a new pair of mid-range earbuds in China. Theyre called the OnePlus Buds V, and theres a good chance the devices will launch overseas as the Nord Buds 3. The original announcement is in Chinese, so were going to be using a translation provided by GSMArena.

The OnePlus Buds V, according to GSMArenas report , house 12.4mm titanium-plated drivers. Touch controls are present, allowing owners to
answer calls or manage music playback. Active noise canceling is here as well to stop outside noise from leaking in.

Continuing down the list, the Buds V supports Bluetooth 5.3 with 92ms
latency. They have a resistance rating of IP55 giving the devices protection against dust and blasts of water. Everything so far is identical to what you find on the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 . They even look similar, with the same color options, although the Buds V will also be available in Interstellar Blue. But moving forward, youll start to see the many differences, large and small. Potential new features

One of the more notable changes is the introduction of Dolby Panoramic Sound. Not much is known about this feature other than it promises an immersive listening experience. On the surface, this just sounds like Dolby Atmos, however without an official translation, its hard to say for sure.

Battery life is seeing a slight increase. The Buds V are said to last eight hours on a single charge. With the charging case, that number is bumped up to 38 hours. GSMArena goes on to say a one hour charge provides five hours of use.

Like the Nords Buds 2, the Buds V comes with multiple preset sound modes Balanced, Deep Bass, and Clear & Bright. (Image credit: OnePlus)

Its unknown when these earbuds will launch, if at all, outside of China. But as stated earlier, the similarities between this pair and the Nord Buds 2
tell us we could see an international release under a different name: the
Nord Buds 3.

The OnePlus Buds V retail for 150 Yuan which is $20/16/19, give or take a few cents. If they do roll out globally, we doubt the earbuds will cost so
little. Itll probably be closer to the Nord Buds 2s current price tag of $60
/ 69 / 69 although we hope were wrong and it really is that cheap.
