OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro

Why it's our Starter pick

• Smartprix (8.8/10) found its noise cancelling very strong for the price against traffic, fans and street noise, with adaptive and three manual levels.
• Supports LHDC 5.0, AAC and Google Fast Pair, connects to two devices at once, and the buds are IP55.
• About 7 hours a charge with ANC on and up to 54 hours in all with ANC off; ₹4,199 is the same as OnePlus's own store.

Watch out: The default tuning is bass-heavy with slightly recessed mids, and the case has no water rating.
