OnePlus Buds Pro 4 Launched with AI Features, Dual Drivers, and 53-Hour Battery

OnePlus has quietly listed its new Buds Pro 4 wireless earbuds on its official global website, revealing an upgraded audio system, enhanced noise cancellation, and a suite of AI-powered features. The earbuds are positioned as a significant step up from the previous generation, though the company has not yet disclosed pricing or a release date.

The Buds Pro 4 feature a dual-driver setup in each earbud: an 11mm woofer for deep bass and a 6mm tweeter for clear highs. Each driver is paired with its own digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to ensure precise sound control. OnePlus developed the audio system in collaboration with Danish audio specialist Dynaudio, and claims the new design delivers 50% stronger bass than the Buds Pro 3.

For audiophiles, the earbuds support Hi-Res Audio via LHDC 5.0, enabling playback at up to 24-bit/192kHz when paired with compatible devices. Other audio features include Spatial Audio with head tracking, which adjusts the soundstage as the user moves, and Golden Sound, which personalizes audio settings based on the user's hearing profile.

Noise cancellation has also been improved: OnePlus says the Buds Pro 4 can reduce twice as much background noise as the previous generation. The adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) automatically adjusts the level of noise reduction based on the surrounding environment, ensuring optimal performance in different settings.

Battery life is a key highlight, with the earbuds offering up to 53 hours of total playback when used with the charging case. The case supports wireless charging, adding convenience for users on the go. Additionally, the Buds Pro 4 integrate AI translation and Google Gemini, though specifics on how these features work have not been detailed.

The earbuds come in two color options: Titanium Shadow and Polar White. They carry an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, making them suitable for workouts and light rain, but the charging case does not share the same protection. OnePlus has not yet announced when the Buds Pro 4 will be available or how much they will cost, leaving consumers awaiting further details.
