So, here's the real head-scratcher: is ₹4299 earbuds better than going for a pair of ₹11999 ones? It's time to unravel the mystery of which one's the real deal - the pocket-friendly CMF Buds Pro 2 or the swanky OnePlus Buds Pro 3. Get ready to have a blast while we uncover the ultimate choice!
DESIGN
CMF Buds Pro 2: These earbuds have a minimalist design with smooth curves and a soft finish. They feel modern and premium, although the glossy, plasticky buds may give off a cheaper vibe. However, they fit comfortably in the ear, making them a good choice for long listening sessions. The charging case has a sleek touchy-feely finish and comes with a knob for easy control over volume and playback.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: These earbuds have a plastic body with a faux leather texture for a fancy look. The earbuds are designed to fit the ears comfortably. If you prefer understated coolness and a soft touch finish, the CMF Buds Pro 2 is for you. If you want a leatherlike texture and a head-turning design, then the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is the better choice.
SOUND QUALITY
When it comes to sound quality, these earbuds are top-notch, but they have different sound profiles.
First, let’s talk about the CMF Buds Pro 2. These earbuds feature dynamic drivers that deliver a rich, balanced sound. The bass is powerful without overpowering the mids and highs, making them suitable for enjoying any music genre. Additionally, they are equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) to keep unwanted noise out.
On the other hand, we have the OnePlus Buds Pro 3. These earbuds also feature dynamic drivers and take sound quality to the next level, providing impressive bass and crystal clear.
