New OnePlus earbuds spotted on the TUV Rheinland certification site
OnePlus could unveil new audio products soon. The OnePlus Buds 3 and the Buds Pro 3 were launched in the country in March and August respectively. Meanwhile, the company launched the Nord Buds 3 Pro and Nord Buds 3 in India in July and September respectively. Since then, the brand hasn’t announced or teased any new audio wearables. However, a pair of new OnePlus TWS earphones have now been spotted on certification sites, hinting at an imminent launch. One such variant has been spotted in the TUV Rheinland certification database.
OnePlus earbuds spotted in the TUV Rheinland database
The OnePlus E513A TWS earphones have appeared on the TUV Rheinland website. The list doesn’t reveal any details about the expected headsets, nor does it confirm a name. We may learn more about the audio wearables in the coming weeks. For reference, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and the Nord Buds 3 earphones have model numbers E512A and E514A respectively.
An earlier report claimed that another alleged OnePlus Buds variant, OnePlus E511A TWS, could be the OnePlus Nord Buds 3R earphones. It has reportedly approved certification from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The FCC listing for the OnePlus Nord Buds 3R suggests that the earphones may have larger batteries than the previous Nord Buds 2R. However, the charging case may contain a smaller cell. According to the listing, the OnePlus E511A TWS supports 58mAh batteries in each earphone, while the case has a 440mAh battery.
The cross-section of the rumored OnePlus Nord Buds 3R charging case as seen on the listing suggests that the earphones will be placed inside it vertically. This could mean that the earbuds’ charging connectors will likely be placed on the bottom of the stem.
Notably, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R, which were launched in India in July 2023, have a pill-shaped charging case with the earbuds placed horizontally in it. The charging connectors are located on the inside of the stems. The case has a 480mAh battery, while the earphones contain 36mAh cells each. They have 12.4mm dynamic drivers, an IP55 rating and are said to offer a total battery life of up to 38 hours.
