OnePlus Wireless Bullets – not anti-AirPods, and maybe that’s better! (Photos and videos)

Today is not just the day of OnePlus 6 but also the new Bullets Wireless earphones. But do not think about the AirPods because they were not their inspiration – OnePlus 6 has indeed the audio jack, and these new accessories are not a sign of a future abandonment, but only serve to offer greater freedom of choice to users. We are talking about a pair of earphones connected by a thread, to wear a bit ‘like a necklace, which connects to your smartphone in a completely wireless means, so as to leave you wide freedom of movement.

The earphones are also “weather resistant“, that is, it can be used in rain, and is equipped with an automatic pause for music, if you hook the two earphones magnetically to one another; the music will resume once released, and in the future you can also answer a call by doing so. However, these functions only appear with OnePlus 5 / 5T and 6, but it is not possible to replicate them elsewhere. In any case, if disconnected from the smartphone, after 5 minutes of inactivity the earphones automatically go to sleep, regardless of the phone used.

You can also have 5 hours of continuous listening with just 10 minutes of power supply (the total usage time when fully charged is about 8 hours, so you’ll understand that even the full charge does not take too long), with any charger you want (the socket is Type-C), since the fast charge is included in the earphones themselves. As with many other headsets, pressing the button at the center of the multimedia controls will initiate the Google Assistant.

On the audio front, Qualcomm aptX technology is used, for better quality via Bluetooth, and the company promises to have taken advantage of the experience gained with the V2 Bullets, without neglecting the quality of the call.

Unfortunately, you will have to wait a while to pair them with your new OnePlus 6, as the Wireless Bullets will only be available from the end of June, at a price of € 69, which is not bad on paper; but we’ll talk about this in the review. For now, you can see few images and videos of the OnePlus Wireless Bullets.
