Hey everyone! I just picked up the new OnePlus Nord 4 and I’m loving the performance so far, but I’m struggling to find the perfect wireless earbuds to go with it. I really want something that takes full advantage of the ecosystem, maybe with LHDC support for better audio quality. Active Noise Cancellation is a big priority for me since I commute daily, and I'm hoping to stay under $150 if possible. I've been eyeing the OnePlus Buds 3, but I'm curious if third-party brands like Sony or Soundcore play just as well with OxygenOS. Which earbuds would you say offer the best balance of sound quality and features specifically for the Nord 4?

I would suggest sticking with the official gear. Over the years, I've seen third-party apps cause weird battery drain or security issues, so the OnePlus+Buds+3&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus Buds 3 is basically the safest bet for your Nord 4. You get LHDC and ANC that actually works seamlessly without the headache... definitely the best balance under $150 ngl.

Honestly, if you want the best LHDC experience on a budget, you really should look at the OnePlus+Buds+Pro+2&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus Buds Pro 2. They might be a year old now, but since the Pro 3 just launched, you can usually find them for under $130. The dual-driver setup gives way better separation than the standard Buds 3, and the ANC is significantly stronger for commuting. One big plus of staying in the ecosystem is that you dont need to download the HeyMelody app. Everything is baked right into your Bluetooth settings on the Nord 4. If you really want to try something else tho, the Nothing Ear is a great alternative. It supports LHDC 5.0 and has a super clean app, but you might lose out on the ultra-low latency Pro Gaming mode that comes with the native buds. Personally, Id go for the OnePlus+Buds+3&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus Buds 3 if you want to save cash, but the Pro 2 is the technical winner for sound quality and noise cancellation.
