OnePlus Nord Buds 4 vs Nord Buds 4 Pro: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Nord Buds 4 (Expected) | Nord Buds 4 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Segment | Budget | Mid-range |
| ANC | Limited/Basic | 55dB Active Noise Cancellation |
| Audio Codec | Standard | LHDC 5.0 Hi-Res Audio |
| Spatial Audio | Likely absent | 3D Spatial Audio |
| India Price | TBA (below Pro) | Rs 3,999 |

What Does the Design Look Like?
The teaser image reveals an in-ear form factor with stem-style touch controls. The earbuds are shown in a dark silhouette and feature a compact, ergonomic design that suggests a comfortable fit for extended listening sessions.
It’s a familiar silhouette for the Nord Buds lineup — clean, understated, and built for all-day wear rather than flashy aesthetics. Nothing revolutionary in terms of looks, but that’s very much by design for a budget-focused product.
Who Should Be Excited About This?
The Nord Buds 4 are clearly aimed at everyday users — commuters, students, and casual listeners who want reliable audio without spending big. The Nord Buds lineup has traditionally prioritised value by offering the essentials at an accessible price, meaning the Nord Buds 4 could deliver features such as decent battery life, reliable connectivity, and effective call quality, while skipping some of the flagship extras found on the Pro model.
True wireless earbuds have exploded in India’s budget segment over the past few years, and OnePlus has consistently been one of the stronger players at the affordable end. The Nord Buds 4 look set to continue that trend.
If you’re already tracking the best TWS options under Rs 3,000–4,000, this is one to watch closely. For more coverage on budget audio and smartphone launches, check out the latest tech news on Technosports.
What to Expect at Launch?
If you want advanced ANC and premium audio codecs, the Nord Buds 4 Pro remains the better option. However, if you want an affordable alternative with your needs revolving around music streaming, calls, and daily commuting without stretching your budget, the Nord Buds 4 could emerge as one of the more compelling TWS options in the affordable segment once pricing is announced.
OnePlus hasn’t revealed a launch date or price yet, but given the Pro launched at Rs 3,999, the standard variant is expected to land noticeably lower — likely in the Rs 1,999–2,999 range.
