The OnePlus Buds Z are a solid budget option that improve on the original OnePlus Buds despite the lower price. Audio is average, but a comfortable fit and solid battery life mostly make up for it. Limited touch controls are a bigger problem though, especially since if you don’t own a OnePlus phone you can’t change them at all – so if you’re not already in the ecosystem these definitely aren’t the best budget buds for you.

The ever exploding TWS market in India has a new budget offering from OnePlus dubbed the OnePlus Buds Z. The Buds Z are a great pair of true wireless earphones for those who are on a tight budget. They offer decent sound, good battery life and a comfortable fit. However, the limitation of the touch control and not so punchy bass may let you down. Overall though, these are the best buds for under Rs 3,000 currently.
