OnePlus Buds Pro 3 - fantastic earbuds
TL;DR: Fantastic pair of earbuds, highly recommended.
Currently own the Galaxy Buds Pro, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 (sold) and Sony WF-1000XM5 (sold). Noticeable improvement in all areas from the OPBP2.
Although the WF-1000XM5 does sound better and has better ANC, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is better in all other areas, which is why I'm switching. I spent a lot of time watching reviews and I don't think there's anything better in its price range (around $120 USD). For the call quality, I'm comparing it to my Samson Q2U dynamic mic which would be a 10 to me.
Here are my thoughts after a week of ownership:
| OnePlus Buds Pro 3 | Sony WF-1000XM5 | OnePlus Buds Pro 2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 9 | 7 | 8 |
| Call quality | 8 | 7 | 7.5 |
| ANC | 8.5 | 10 | 6 |
| Transparency | 9.5 | 8 | 8 |
| Sound quality | 8.5 | 9.5 | 8 |
