Connections & battery

10 items
Wired / wireless connections
Bluetooth 5.4 with Steady Connect; LHDC 5.0, AAC and SBC codecs; dual-device connection

Google Fast Pair is listed without an exact supported-phone range on these Buds 4 pages. Steady Connect is restricted to select OnePlus phones with OxygenOS 15.0.0 or later. The declared Bluetooth range is 10 m; actual conditions and interference vary. Case charging is separate and does not establish cable audio.

2 sources
Battery life
Earbuds: 6 hours with ANC on, 11 hours with ANC off (AAC). With the case: 24 hours with ANC on, 45 hours with ANC off (AAC). Using LHDC: 5.5 / 22 hours with ANC on and 9 / 37 hours with ANC off.

OnePlus test figures at 50% volume with the stated codec. Fast charge: 10 minutes gives 3.5 hours (earbuds) or 11 hours (earbuds + case) with ANC off, AAC.

Audio specifications

9 items
Listed driver impedances
18 Ω ± 15%; 10 Ω ± 15%

The table gives two values but does not explicitly assign them to a named driver or a headphone input/load condition. Do not invent a woofer/tweeter assignment or amplifier compatibility result.

Source
Manufacturer sensitivity and reference
118 ± 1.3 dB at 1 mW

Buds 4 names a 1 mW input but no frequency or test fixture. Buds Pro 3 names 1 kHz and the literal “Input: -10 dB IEC711” notation, without identifying that input in volts or milliwatts. These do not provide sensitivity on the same basis; do not convert or rank them.

Drivers
Dual drivers: 11 mm woofer + 6 mm tweeter

Woofer: 30-layer ceramic-metal diaphragm; tweeter: flat diaphragm.

No frequency, input reference, weighting or explicit maximum label is supplied in this row. Do not reinterpret as maximum SPL or sensitivity.

Calls & noise control

4 items
Active noise cancellation
Yes

Real-time adaptive ANC advertised up to 55 dB and up to 5,500 Hz; modes: ANC on, Adaptive, Transparency and ANC off. The overview advertises 800 adjustments per second and a 200% voice-cancellation improvement (3×) against OnePlus Buds 3, based on OnePlus Test Laboratory results. These claims do not compare against Buds Pro 3, and no matched attenuation test is supplied. TÜV High Performance Noise Cancellation is a manufacturer-listed claim, not independently re-certified here.

2 sources
Microphone
Yes

Three microphones per earbud with 3-mic AI call noise cancellation.

Source
Bone-conduction voice pickup sensor
Not listed by the manufacturer

The complete reviewed Buds4 pages describe three microphones per side but do not establish VPU presence or absence.

Source
Manufacturer microphone sensitivity
-38 ± 1 dB

Buds4 gives no dBV/Pa reference; Pro3 explicitly gives dBV/Pa. These different bases cannot establish a microphone-performance difference.
