I really appreciate the hard work you put into this. I got these 3 days ago and my experience matches yours. I like these as much as my Sennheiser TW3s and Nothing Ear 2s. Crazy value! They look awesome, too.
I usually buy the Soundcore earbuds and headphones but since I just bought the OnePlus 12 I decided to give these Buds 3 a go. They are amazing, sound quality is good and it's so stylish. My mom still uses the first One Plus Buds that came out several years ago and it still works perfectly and she uses it everyday.
Hey can you please tell if pro 2 has better sound quality or spatial audio than the 3? or is it otherwise? Also is in game latency as good as the buds 2 Pro?
Bro ur work is really terrific, breaking down the experience in parts n then ranking them individually, pretty scientific….i remember that I had brought soundpeats h1 way back in 2020 after seeing ur review, they really served me well but after repeated falls over the years, the right side is gone completely…checked ur channel back n i see many improvements in presenting the facts for audiophiles, u r doing a great job man…i wish u many more subscribers as it is a niche segment…i realise the effort it takes to bring such detailed videos…more power to you👍👍
I just got this for my REPLACEMENT FOR soundcore as they kinda lagged alot after a year + of usuage . and I can say this was my best purchase ever of the buds 3 the sound quality blew me off and it won't fall off easily while running
Have you tested them for phone and video calls in regards to the microphone quality by any chance? I'm very interested in results of real-life conditions, not only imitated.
@arnoldvillatoro3284 you literally just read my comment and saw it was posted over 2 months ago, yet still replied, correct? I don't need your comment as it gave absolutely nothing of use, considering I bought the earbuds back then and am well aware you can, especially cause I saw the part in the video you're talking about without your help. you could've very well just not said anything and it would be the same damn thing.
Appreciate that you always preface the fit/comfort depends on individual's ears. The Buds 2 Pro were my favorite and comfortable buds, but in the silver color they constantly popped out during workouts. The Liberty 4 NC fit my ears the best and were very comparable in sound quality. Keep up the good work.
@@realbigtyrone I do! They are great. Very comfortable. Super light. The customizable touch options are great. And they really do cancel out 90% of all noise. Oh and they last me like a whole 2 months without needing to charge (I only use them when I got to the gym) so like 40 hours maybe lol
@@realbigtyrone crisp. I haven't really had wireless headphones before so I can't really compare to anything in the same category. But there is not white noise or muffleness or that cheap sound you get when you get the 10$ headphones from Walmart lol. They may not be air pro max or Sennheiser but they are solid 8.5/10 for sound. For me
Love your honesty in your review especially the fact that 'all this high res stuff is driving me crazy!' when the difference is minimal. Dont go specs crazy. Just enjoy music at the level your ears can appreciate.
I didn't think that I would find earbuds that sounded better than my Sennheiser CX Plus or Edifier W240TN! I have twelve pair of earbuds including the AirPod Pro 2's. The are my new favorite. If these had Apple's H2 chip there would be no need to ever buy another pair of earbuds in my opinion unless you wanted a waterproof pair. The sound on these for me is superb with the Golden Sound profile, 3D Audio and the Bass Wave. Everything I listened to is just so much better in these. Thanks again Picky Audio for another excellent recommendation.
Thanks to your review, I bought the buds and received them yesterday. Ive been testing them , including a 10K run, I must say they’re impressive overall! I love the controls, transparency mode, and ANC features. The fit is excellent for me, though I did need to switch out the ear tips. Great recommendation, thank you!
After almost 3 years to upgrade my earbuds, I've been searching the entirety over web and found your videos. Just top tier 🔥🔥🔥 Btw I'm gonna get buds 3.
Thanks for the video. I think you should consider to also add the sound quality test at the road you used to do. That's the way I found you thinking it was very good someone testing it in reality. So if that was added to the other test it would be great. Also if you want to do even more adding a quick comparison of 1-3 who is better to that.
I took a look at the excel file you provided. I genuinely liked the details and comments you made throughout the cells. browsing different tabs really helps for a multi-dimensional and hans-on comparison.
@@pickyaudio thanks for the reponse! oneplus 3 buds are still the winner by a close hair! thanks for the spreadsheet and your awesome videos! i just started getting into earbuds/IEMs, and your videos have been so helpful!
Thanks for the review. I tried adding a cost rating to your spreadsheet, and these buds then came out on top for me! Shame my phone doesn't support LHDC, but I'm thinking about these for in the office and for travel now (office once a week, very occasional travel). Thanks.
OnePlus is really really really good. But OnePlus issues is battery damage. After 1 year use the battery backup will be worse. I used one plus buds pro but same issue. So I buy liberty 4 NC. It is good and overall balanced. But for sound quality and bass OnePlus is unbeatable. By only great issue OnePlus is loosing it's custome. Like green line issue. I also use OnePlus 9 pro. But green issue makes me pale. I will never buy OnePlus phone.
Great job again. You really are one of the best. I bought the original Nothing earbuds years ago and they were absolute garbage. The volume was so low, they were unusable. I hope the newer ones are better, but I'll never buy another one of their products, once bitten. They weren't cheap at the time, either. I would love to try these one day, but I have so many earbuds...thanks to you mate, lol.
Cheers! Yep they were pretty bad but Nothing has improved the Ear 2 drastically and they are constantly improving/updating their products. After using the phone 2 a bit as well the quality you get for the price is amazing. Definitely worth giving them another go
How big of a difference is the buds 3 compared to buds 3 pro, i was planning to buy the buds 3 but maybe just save up for the buds 3 pro if the difference is big.
I owned sen 3 . Sony x4 . Soundcore 3, 4 nc , and Samsung buds 2 pro. Tbh I like this one buds 3 . Same par with Samsung buds 2 Pro. But the Samsung a lil more warmth in dynamics. Get this you won't regret. The sound quality is up there with the big boys.
Awesome channel mate. I wonder why you score audio quality of the 1+ buds 2 and these over the airpods pro 2. Also weird anecdote my airpods pro 2's sound quality has died out over time. I tested them over a new pair and the difference was noticeable. Have you ever experienced anything like this?
Just got these! Tried the SoundPeats engine 4 but was pretty disappointed coming from Anker life A1. I felt you had to turn the volume higher than I prefer in order to get the bass coming through. These are perfect, serious bass, clean sound and fit well. Thanks for your reviews!
I had a buds 2 pro and had to return it last week. The biggest issue for me was the shift in audio quality when going to from ANC to off mode. It's so different to the point where it started frustrating me. I am someone that barely uses anc so i have it off most of the time. But god the sound is horrible ( bass is non existent and the vocals are hollow ) in off mode. I used poweramp to get a better EQ setting but didn't get far.
Yea it’s a pretty big difference hey. Most buds have a pretty big EQ shift so I’ve been focusing on that in my latest reviews and adding it to my spreadsheet notes
@@pickyaudio airpods pro (2019) has near zero shift for me. As much as I criticize apple for their weird decisions, they nail simple day to day things like zero cabin pressure, ease of use, virtually no eq shift, clean tuning out of the box,etc. I ended up buying a Bose QC 2023 ( Over ear ) and waiting for it to get delivered to replace my air pods pro. I am so hyped!
i really need an answer does it work well with ios? like connectivity wise? do they auto connect after you first pair them? like airpods when you open them do they connect or do i have to go to bluetooth every time thanks for the answer
@@pickyaudio thanks for getting back! I have one last question. As I'm also a frequent gym guy, which one is more secure and offers the better noise isolation? Big thanks in advance 🙏
Full customisation, a combo of squeeze controls and swipe gestures. And skin detection for the wearing detection. That’s the ultimate control to me haha
My RHA wireless buds that I got in 2018 just died after a good long life. I think these buds 3 look like that perfect replacement. The price is so good
I am a professional music producer, and I can promise you that 99.9999999999% of professional masters are exported in 24bit 44.1kHz. So 96kHz is just adding data points that don't do anything. Depending on the codec, they can even miscalculate some data points. And that only distorts the audio. If you like that distortion, cool I guess, but it's maybe not the reason you think it is.
Hi which earbuds should i buy, the Oneplus buds 3 or the nothing cmf buds pro 2 Which of these would say are better for watching Videos like yours or listening to music and which of these would you recommend or buy yourself?
Just ordered a Oneplus12 and saw these earbuds as $100 extras and added these too the order on a whim...looks.like they are a good choice very excited by the review😊 can't wait for them to arrive!
Which is better nothing ear 2 beats studio buds plus or OnePlus buds 3 ?? My phone is OnePlus 12 I've used sony xm5 but the mic quality is awful Samsung buds pro 2 and the mic is still awful now I'm torn between nothing eae 2 beats studio buds plus and OnePlus buds 3
1. Perl Pro 2. Technics Az80 3. Sen Mom 3 4. Onplus Buds 2/3 5. Sony XM5 6. Beats Studio Buds + I can really have a good time with metal with any of them honestly
I am putting a lot of faith in you, because I just bought a pair. I'm very picky about my audio, but I've never been able to buy expensive listening devices. I'm really excited about these
Thanks for your content! I would really appreciate your reply to the following. Even though it might sound unexpected, I'm comparing Oneplus Buds 3 with Technics EAH-AZ80. Details below. I know AZ80s as I'd been using them for a couple of weeks. They sound amazing. The only thing to mention is that in some songs the sound is pretty shrill, so it gets uncomfortable sometimes (not too often). But I can't say I'm satisfied with the fit. These are my first in-ear headphones, so maybe I'm just not yet used to having something actually in my ears, but I feel them pretty clearly, I would love to have a lighter feeling, to be honest. The ANC was good enough. And the microphone performance though was good enough only for quiet environment. It was mostly not acceptable to talk to people via AZ80 from outside because of some light wind or moderate surrounding noise. So based on that, I started looking for an alternative. AirPods Pro 2 turned out to have cleaner sounding mic but only for not windy conditions. The ANC is definitely better. But the sound signature... I just don't feel energy in music coming from them (as opposed to AZ80), so I realized I don't enjoy music with APP2. I guess the main things I noticed - the sound stage is narrower, and there is not enough details in highs to me, also they seem to have much less lower bass (even though I'm not a bass lover). So I ended up returning them. And then I've met these Oneplus Buds 3. I understand they are almost 3 times cheaper than AZ80, so I don't expect them to be close to each other in all disciplines. And the problem is they sold out, so I can't try them out. So I would be grateful if you share your thoughts, maybe this will help me to understand if they are worth waiting for the stock availability or I should skip them. So, the questions are: 1) How big is the sound quality difference between Buds 3 and AZ80 (subjectively, of course)? I love the instrument separation, wide sound stage, the clarity and and crispness of AZ80. How far the Buds 3 are from AZ80 in this? 2) How different Buds 3 from AZ80 in the feeling in the ears? 3) Is there a remarkable difference in the mic performance in noisy and windy conditions? I listened to the mic tests, so based on them Buds 3 seem to have way much better microphones, but maybe you have wider testing experience with both of them and can tell more details? Thanks a lot!
The thing with OnePlus is it actually works well with their own eco system so if you are not using their phone it won't give's you that much sound quality etc ...
On the Scoring Spreadsheet, Sound Quality has been rated at 9.5 but on this video it was given a 9. Is it right to assume the spreadsheet score has been updated and we should ignore the score in this video? Awesome spreadsheet by the way - very useful, thanks!
For a minute there i thought I did something wrong. Lol😅. You're knocking the ball out of the park with these reviews. No other channel gives me so much info in a relatively short amount of time. Thank you. 💯👍🇺🇸
How are oneplus 3s on ur basshead scale? More basshead bass than the liberty 4nc? Still looking for basshead buds. Disappointed with the bass on the liberty 3 pros. Buds FE have more low end rumbling bass. 75ts not available where im at.
I have two questions for you picky. 1- How is phone 2 nothing? 2- Among the soundpeats you tried, which one made the loudest sound? And im really love your videos. Keep going on!
Never heard of, added to cart while I paused the video. I’ve been using SoundCore liberty 4 for cheaper yet good sounding bud. These are intriguing. I’m not huge on shiny but I could get over it for some shiny sound.
Another fantastic video w comparison of the best. If you get a chance can you review the realme air 5 pro? They seem to go head to head with these, many reviewers claiming to be better than buds 3. Would love to get a review from your channel as it's my fav audio channel. Cheers!
I have these and love them, I have had the Liberty 4, 4NC, and Nothing ear 2, and these are the overall best. I'm confused about the charging times, though. Are those times for when the case is plugged in to the outlet? Is it better to switch off ANC before putting them in the case, for a faster charge? Earbuds charge 10min for 2h playback doesn't seem accurate at all, it only charges ~10% in 10min so it can't have 2h playback!
Hi, can i ask if which one should i get between soundcore liberty 4 nc or oneplus buds 3. My priority is call quality and next is battery life. Thank you
Hey man, I've been looking to buy these from your affiliate link. But the thing is, in Amazon these things cost 180AUD and in aliexpress these are around 105AUD. On Aliexpress, it mentions that these are China version. So, are they any different from the ones that you reviewed?

I can really have a good time with metal with any of them honestly
@@pickyaudio thanks for list. I love your videos. Keep going on.
How these sound on a Samsung phone? Does the codec makes any difference?
I am using these with my nothing ear tips which makes them very comfortable !
Nice!
This us the most detailed video on a earbud. Just got this earbuds and they are actually good.. keep up the good work man
Will there be any compromises if I switch to oneplus buds 3 from my Galaxy Buds Live?
The fit is different since these use an ear tip but you will only notice improvements.
@@pickyaudio thanks for the answer.
BETTER then neobuds pro 2 ?
Yes in every way except noise cancelling
I am putting a lot of faith in you, because I just bought a pair. I'm very picky about my audio, but I've never been able to buy expensive listening devices. I'm really excited about these
Let me know how you find them 👍
How are they ?
Thanks for your content! I would really appreciate your reply to the following. Even though it might sound unexpected, I'm comparing Oneplus Buds 3 with Technics EAH-AZ80. Details below.
I know AZ80s as I'd been using them for a couple of weeks. They sound amazing. The only thing to mention is that in some songs the sound is pretty shrill, so it gets uncomfortable sometimes (not too often).
But I can't say I'm satisfied with the fit. These are my first in-ear headphones, so maybe I'm just not yet used to having something actually in my ears, but I feel them pretty clearly, I would love to have a lighter feeling, to be honest.
The ANC was good enough.
And the microphone performance though was good enough only for quiet environment. It was mostly not acceptable to talk to people via AZ80 from outside because of some light wind or moderate surrounding noise.
So based on that, I started looking for an alternative.
AirPods Pro 2 turned out to have cleaner sounding mic but only for not windy conditions.
The ANC is definitely better.
But the sound signature... I just don't feel energy in music coming from them (as opposed to AZ80), so I realized I don't enjoy music with APP2. I guess the main things I noticed - the sound stage is narrower, and there is not enough details in highs to me, also they seem to have much less lower bass (even though I'm not a bass lover).
So I ended up returning them.
And then I've met these Oneplus Buds 3.
I understand they are almost 3 times cheaper than AZ80, so I don't expect them to be close to each other in all disciplines.
And the problem is they sold out, so I can't try them out. So I would be grateful if you share your thoughts, maybe this will help me to understand if they are worth waiting for the stock availability or I should skip them.
So, the questions are:
1) How big is the sound quality difference between Buds 3 and AZ80 (subjectively, of course)?
I love the instrument separation, wide sound stage, the clarity and and crispness of AZ80. How far the Buds 3 are from AZ80 in this?
2) How different Buds 3 from AZ80 in the feeling in the ears?
3) Is there a remarkable difference in the mic performance in noisy and windy conditions?
I listened to the mic tests, so based on them Buds 3 seem to have way much better microphones, but maybe you have wider testing experience with both of them and can tell more details?
Thanks a lot!
The thing with OnePlus is it actually works well with their own eco system so if you are not using their phone it won't give's you that much sound quality etc ...
Do you think Onebuds 3 are better for calls from Linkbuds S?
On the Scoring Spreadsheet, Sound Quality has been rated at 9.5 but on this video it was given a 9. Is it right to assume the spreadsheet score has been updated and we should ignore the score in this video? Awesome spreadsheet by the way - very useful, thanks!
For a minute there i thought I did something wrong. Lol😅. You're knocking the ball out of the park with these reviews. No other channel gives me so much info in a relatively short amount of time. Thank you. 💯👍🇺🇸
Haha! Cheers Mike, that’s my aim so I’m glad it’s coming across 👍
Which color is looking good 🤔🤔🤔🤔 blue or black??????
What looks good to you? 😂
How are oneplus 3s on ur basshead scale? More basshead bass than the liberty 4nc? Still looking for basshead buds. Disappointed with the bass on the liberty 3 pros. Buds FE have more low end rumbling bass. 75ts not available where im at.
Once you EQ them you can push out some solid bass but slightly less than the 4NC.
That's a shame you can't get the 75t. I have them and the bass literally shakes your entire head
I have two questions for you picky. 1- How is phone 2 nothing? 2- Among the soundpeats you tried, which one made the loudest sound? And im really love your videos. Keep going on!
I actually love the Phone 2. Best android phone Iv'e used. From memory the Opera 03 and 05 are the loudest. So is the Air4 Pro though
@@pickyaudio thanks for reply. 😀
@@pickyaudiowhich color do you use?
Never heard of, added to cart while I paused the video. I’ve been using SoundCore liberty 4 for cheaper yet good sounding bud. These are intriguing. I’m not huge on shiny but I could get over it for some shiny sound.
Damn my man, you're really strong. 💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks 😊
Are your earbuds commands voice in Chinese or English?? Pls reply fast
Chinese if it's CN version and English if it's global version.
This is the best ever detailed review 👌
Another fantastic video w comparison of the best. If you get a chance can you review the realme air 5 pro? They seem to go head to head with these, many reviewers claiming to be better than buds 3. Would love to get a review from your channel as it's my fav audio channel. Cheers!
These are awesome 😎 love that the volume is loud and sound is great.
Liberty 3 pro ANC better than Oneplus Buds 3? Are you okay?
I have these and love them, I have had the Liberty 4, 4NC, and Nothing ear 2, and these are the overall best. I'm confused about the charging times, though. Are those times for when the case is plugged in to the outlet? Is it better to switch off ANC before putting them in the case, for a faster charge? Earbuds charge 10min for 2h playback doesn't seem accurate at all, it only charges ~10% in 10min so it can't have 2h playback!
Nice! Turning off ANC won't make a difference. I think the 10m = 2h playback is with ANC off.
How's the call quality on the nothing ear 2? Do you need to be loud while talking?
@zefft-ju5bs not at all, call quality is very good. Maybe in loud scenarios it can be a little bit drowned
@@jvmjunior10 ah okay. I had the OnePlus buds 3 as my other option. I'm someone who values calls more than anything else. Should I go for them?
Hi, can i ask if which one should i get between soundcore liberty 4 nc or oneplus buds 3. My priority is call quality and next is battery life. Thank you
Does oneplus buds 3 work good with iPhone?
You are a pro! Subscribed (and just bought buds 3)
what do u think about qcy ht05 in 2024? i bought these for someone for 35bucs it should be decent?
The sorta hard work you have put into making this video... thumbs up to you 👍
I ordered my Oneplus Buds 3 extremely cheap, compared to Airpods the price is huge gap , also I saw the microphone on calls and im really impressed.
Whats better in transparency mode the liberty 4nc or buds3
Does the sound leak above 70% volume? I noticed it has some perforations, which would suggest some sound leakage
Another great Picky review 💯 but how do these stack up against the Free Pro 3?
Cheers BJ! Buds 3 much better overall
Is the tactile controls with a hood not causing problems ?
Will buds 3 are a good option with an iphone?
Lolll dude you're using Pneuma to test out the buds. Literally the exact song I use with Invincible off that album
i love this dude i have been looking for good buds for cheap and these reviews are amazing
You're missing out on the best. The Oppo EncoAir3Pro. They blow OnePlus out of the water in terms of sound quality!
Hey man,
I've been looking to buy these from your affiliate link.
But the thing is, in Amazon these things cost 180AUD and in aliexpress these are around 105AUD.
On Aliexpress, it mentions that these are China version.
So, are they any different from the ones that you reviewed?
What's the best tips for OnePlus Buds 3?
I wonder if there is a difference in sound between the global and Chinese versions OnePlus Buds 3
