OnePlus has given a first proper look at the Nord Buds 4 through a social media post.
The earbuds feature an in-ear design with soft silicone tips for a comfortable fit, along with a stem-style body that supports touch controls.

The charging case adopts a clean rectangular shape, a departure from the oval design of the Nord Buds 3.
A teal color option has been highlighted, giving the product a fresh and modern vibe. The teaser confirms availability on Amazon India at launch.
Expected Features and Positioning
The Nord Buds 4 is positioned as the more affordable sibling to the Nord Buds 4 Pro, which launched earlier this year in India at ₹3,999.

The Pro model offers up to 55dB ANC, 12mm titanium-coated drivers, LHDC 5.0 Hi-Res audio, Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connectivity, and up to 54 hours of total playback.
To keep the price lower—rumored around ₹2,999—the regular Nord Buds 4 will likely skip some premium features.
Expect lighter ANC, standard audio codecs, and possibly smaller drivers or slightly shorter battery life.
However, the signature Nord bass-heavy sound, reliable call quality, and comfortable wear are expected to remain.

OnePlus has built trust in the budget TWS space with the Nord Buds 3 series from 2024, which offered good battery life and decent IP ratings at competitive prices.
The Nord Buds 4 continues that approach while updating the design for better ergonomics and a more contemporary look.
With the new rectangular case and in-ear fit, the Nord Buds 4 seems aimed at users seeking practical earbuds for daily commutes, workouts, or casual listening.
