OnePlus going to first-ever launch it’s TWS Earbuds in July
Recent reports have indicated that the upcoming earbuds will feature Apple AirPods-like design. Beyond this, a new report just revealed the official name of the upcoming earbuds. OnePlus is likely working on its first true wireless (TWS) earbuds product. The company plans to launch its OnePlus TWS earbuds naming "Oneplus pods" along with the rumored OnePlus Z smartphone. There's no word on any specs yet, or the name of these, but don't be surprised if they will be marketed as OnePlus Bullets Truly Wireless or something similar. It is a very popular design, with a lot of imitators, and it has a great advantage because of the presence of those 'stems' - the mics can be physically closer to your mouth, which should aid the people you're calling in actually being able to make out what you're saying.

The leaker claims the earbuds will be called the OnePlus Buds and feature a design that looks to be "inspired" by Apple's AirPods. While the design of the charging case appears to be slightly different, the earbuds themselves seem to be quite similar to OPPO's AirPods clone, the Enco Free. The Chinese company was speculated to bring its truly wireless earbuds alongside the OnePlus 8 series last month. However, the company didn't unveil the much-anticipated offering and instead ended up unveiling the Bullets Wireless Z as its affordable wireless in-ear headphones.
