Why is OnePlus Bud installed in my phone?
The interaction between OnePlus smartphones and our newly-introduced true wireless headset is tied with several system settings. To ensure a seamless experience, we pre-installed the OnePlus Pods app (now we renamed it to “OnePlus Buds”) in the latest stable updates for OnePlus 6 and above devices.

As more and more users enjoying the OnePlus Buds, we keep receiving some customization suggestions regarding our true wireless products. This requires us to boost the product iteration, so we decided to put the app on the Google Play Store to provide our users with the latest perfected experience. We are also evaluating the technical solution of system-level decoupling. Stay tuned.

Ratings and reviews

Sound fine for what they are so far and connect ok. But not having volume controls is a bit of a dealbreaker for tws. Phone is still on me like normal headphones. Skips are pretty much useless in my case when listening to music streams. Try adding skips for long taps and quick taps for volume changes something. Just skips and voice assistance is a bit annoying and limited. Posted here as its not a physical issue and the tech is there but software lacking.

Buds worked great the last 4 months. Within the last few days the call volume has become so faint that it has essentially disappeared. What happened? Since I'm not the only person complaining about this, I assume this is caused by a recent update. Seems to me that incoming call would be a basic function that should be tested before rolling out an update. Another example of how OnePlus has fallen from its glory days.

Same message as other users - don't force this on us! OP seems to be heading down a very questionable road as of late, having seemingly lost sight of what originally made them great (listening to what users actually want, not what OP feels is best). First Netflix & FB, then Android 11's ground-up overhaul, now this. Not great choices, OP!!
