The launch and “open sale” of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are now officially scheduled for August 20th.

OnePlus' next big audio product has been leaked in pretty much full detail a few times over the past few weeks and is now – unsurprisingly – about to make its debut. The title is perfect to take on Samsung's brand new (but problematic) Galaxy Buds 3 Pro as well as Apple's slowly aging AirPods Pro 2. The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 will not only be announced but will also go on “open sale” next Tuesday, August 20th.

Knowing OnePlus, we're actually surprised the company hasn't revealed anything more about these undeniably high-quality earbuds today, carefully concealing the design and keeping all the features under wraps while announcing the upcoming release with an exciting but terribly vague tagline of “Perfection at Play.”

Of course, eight days is plenty of time for one of those OnePlus marketing campaigns to launch and confirm many of the Buds Pro 3's recently rumored specs and features ahead of the full announcement on August 20. These are said to include up to 50dB of top-of-the-line active noise cancellation, a cutting-edge 11mm woofer and 6mm tweeter, and no less than 43 hours of battery life (including the included charging case).

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are very similar in their overall appearance to the aforementioned Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and yes, the AirPods Pro 2. With their stylish “Midnight Opus” (aka Black) and “Lunar Radiance” color options, they are undoubtedly looking to stand out from the crowd and hopefully won’t have any notable quality issues when they launch.

While we don't expect OnePlus to price its latest top-of-the-line earbuds very affordably, there's definitely a good chance they'll be at least a little cheaper than their main rivals at around $200. We could even expect the retail price to start at around $150 in the US. If you sign up to be notified of the company's sales launch next week, you can save $20 immediately or win one of ten free devices.
