Released Guide updated
The Buds 4 give each ear two drivers, an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter, and cancel up to 55dB of noise with an adaptive mode that blends in your surroundings. Battery runs 11 hours with noise cancelling off and 45 with the case. They are best on Android: Hi-Res Audio over LHDC 5.0 needs an Android phone, and OnePlus says it does not work on iOS.
