OnePlus just gave its budget audio lineup a serious upgrade. The Nord Buds 4 are official in India now, and on paper, they pack a surprising amount of tech for the price.

What Stands Out
The 52dB adaptive ANC is the headline feature here, automatically adjusting noise cancellation based on your surroundings rather than relying on fixed presets. For calls, the six-microphone setup combined with AI noise reduction is rated to stay clear even in winds up to 25km/h — a genuinely useful claim if you commute or work outdoors often.
Gamers get a notable win too: the 47ms low-latency mode reportedly cuts audio delay by 50% over the previous-gen Nord Buds 3, making fast-paced mobile gaming noticeably more responsive.
Battery life is where the Nord Buds 4 really separates itself from the pack. A 54-hour total playback figure, backed by TÜV Rheinland Battery Health Certification, puts it ahead of most earbuds in this price bracket.
How It Fits the Budget TWS Market
At under ₹3,500, the Nord Buds 4 goes up against strong competition from brands chasing the same budget audio crowd — something we’ve tracked closely in our coverage of realme’s recent price hikes across its budget hardware lineup. OnePlus seems to be banking on long battery life and adaptive ANC as its key differentiators rather than competing purely on price.

The Bottom Line
The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 bring genuinely premium-feeling features — 52dB ANC, 54-hour battery, and IP55 protection — to a sub-₹3,300 price point. If you’ve been holding off on a budget TWS upgrade, this is one of the more compelling options to land in India this year.
