The Full Story

LoveBar's deep-dive, written for humans 💕

Nothing and OnePlus share DNA as brands born from the same entrepreneurial mind, which makes this comparison feel like watching siblings compete at the dinner table. The Nothing Ear 3 leans into what made Nothing famous, a transparent design aesthetic that genuinely looks like nothing else on the market, paired with sound and features that embarrass earbuds costing twice as much. They are effortlessly cool in a way that most tech products try and fail to achieve. OnePlus Buds Pro 3 take the sibling rivalry seriously by teaming up with Dynaudio, a respected Danish speaker maker, to deliver sound quality that punches into premium territory. The noise cancellation is also a step up, blocking more ambient noise with less of that pressurized feeling some ANC systems create. Nothing wins on charm, comfort, and sheer value, making them the obvious pick for anyone who wants great earbuds without thinking too hard about it. OnePlus wins when you sit down, close your eyes, and actually listen, delivering an audio experience that belongs in a higher price bracket. Same family, different priorities.
