OnePlus has introduced the OnePlus Buds Ace 3 in China, launching alongside the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra. The new earbuds sit in a crowded space, but on paper, they try to cover a bit of everything, from noise cancellation to gaming-focused features.

OnePlus Buds Ace 3 Specifications

The Buds Ace 3 come with a 12mm dynamic driver, which is fairly standard in this segment. It supports Hi-Res audio through LHDC 5.0, with high bitrate streaming and sampling rate of up to 96kHz. It also has a 10-band equalizer, and something OnePlus calls BassWave for additional tuning, along with spatial audio support.

The earbuds are rated for up to 55dB active noise cancellation with wide frequency coverage. As usual, the real-world experience will depend on fit and environment, but OnePlus is also leaning on adaptive algorithms to adjust noise reduction in real time. 

For calls, there’s a triple-microphone setup paired with AI-based noise reduction to cut down background noise, including wind.

There’s also a noticeable focus on gaming. The Buds Ace 3 promise latency as low as 47ms, along with sound tuning that emphasizes directional cues like footsteps. 

Moreover, OnePlus claims up to 54 hours of total playback with the case. The earbuds themselves are rated for around 13 hours without noise cancellation, or about seven hours with it turned on. Fast charging is supported, though exact charging times aren’t mentioned. 

Other features include Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connectivity, touch controls with sliding gestures, and even AI translation support across more than 20 languages. The earbuds are rated IP55 for dust and water resistance, which should be enough for everyday use and workouts.

Price and Availability

In China, the OnePlus Buds Ace 3 are priced at CNY 329, roughly USD 48 or Rs 4,600. It is available through the Oppo online store.

OnePlus looks set to update its budget earbuds lineup again, and the OnePlus Buds Ace 3 have now quietly shown up on the company’s official website, revealing the design. It’s not a full announcement yet, but there’s enough there to get a rough idea of what’s coming.

The earbuds are rated for up to 55dB active noise cancellation. OnePlus is also leaning into gaming a bit, with FPS-specific audio tuning aimed at making things like footsteps easier to pick out. Whether that makes a big difference in real use is something we’ll have to see.

The company is claiming up to 54 hours of battery life with the case, which sounds impressive on paper. In reality, it’ll probably depend on how much ANC you use, but still, it’s a noticeable jump from earlier models.

The Buds Ace 3 will come in Titanium Silver and Interstellar Black, and from what’s visible, OnePlus hasn’t tried to change things too much here. There are still a few gaps, though. Details like driver size, latency numbers, or even call performance haven’t been fully listed yet, so this isn’t the complete picture.

Looking back, the OnePlus Buds Ace 2 were launched in late 2024 at a fairly aggressive price and ended up being a decent value option. They offered solid bass thanks to 12.4mm dynamic drivers, okay ANC, and about 43 hours of battery life. With the Ace 3, OnePlus seems to be pushing things a bit further, especially in noise cancellation and battery.

The fact that these are already up on the official site usually means launch isn’t far away. One of the company’s Weibo posts confirms they’ll arrive later this month, possibly alongside the Ace 6 Ultra. More details should follow once OnePlus makes it official.
