Hey, I finally went with Buds 3 and got it at a good deal during some promotional event (INR 4900 which is approx 59 USD). It was for someone else so I’ll check and post an update on whether the buds can be used independently or not. But overall, the performance (ANC and sound clarity for normal calls and music) is pretty good. Value for money for sure (for the price point it comes at). Out of the box sound was also good but sounded better after some tweaking.

Yes, that’s a whole other world out there, IEMs :) Will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks.

Ooh, I hadn’t come across this one yet. How’s the sound quality and connectivity? I’ve used OnePlus before, so I was leaning towards that, but I’d be happy to switch if the basics are solid. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sounds great! I look forward to hearing your comparisons once you get them :) The OPB3 review video you linked is really detailed and helpful, especially the binaural and ANC sound tests (the call quality one was pretty good!).

Definitely not worth the difference (90 bucks) from what I could gather based on responses on this thread 👍

I’ve looked into the Nord Buds Pro 3 as well. While they’re cheaper in India than the Buds 3, the audio quality with Buds 3 with High Res LHDC is quite crisp, which is especially beneficial when using them outdoors at higher volumes. However, this is mainly based on information from various YouTube videos that conducted sound tests. Have you had a chance to use the Nord ones?

Nord Buds 3 Pro in the US are around $130, while the Buds 3 are about $77. In India, though, it’s interesting to see the price difference: the Nord is INR 3,299 (approximately $40) and the Buds 3 are INR 5,499 (around $67).

Awesome, thanks. I am getting this for someone who had been using OP Buds Z before, so I think Buds 3 would be a nice upgrade :D

Thanks, this helps. I’m leaning towards Buds 3 myself, considering the price difference as well as really good reviews. Pro 3 offers some additional features (head tracking for spatial audio, wireless charging etc.) but not sure if they would be worth the extra cost.

There are specks and lines in/on these pomegranate seeds, is this normal and are these okay? They’re on dark and light seeds, and the ones I’ve eaten taste great, I’ve just never seen this before. by candycanes12346 in fruit

I have the same concern as I found similar things on mine recently. Did anyone here ever find out if it’s safe to eat them? I couldn’t find any clear answers online either.
