The simple fact is that Bluetooth earphones are now commonplace. Gone are the days of humongous headphones and phone-jacks. We now have hundreds of manufacturers clamoring for a piece of pie.

Pricing is another important consideration from low to high end prices. The average price range is segmented into three. Those from $20 to $100, $100 to $200 and $200 to $300. The OnePlus bullets wireless Bluetooth earphones is reasonably priced.
SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE DESIGN

It expands easily to accommodate any ear type while providing adequate comfort without ear irritation. The rubber coating provides a light, easy fit around neck or upper region.
Unlike some products that experiment with design the manufacturers maintain the basic design and included a rubberized loop. The stretch resistant cable connects the earphone and are comfortable on your neck. This provides extra ear fix and flexibility for fussy customers.
You get the new magnetic control feature for your music including the freedom from wires. Snap the earbuds together and it pauses your music and disconnects. Once separated they reconnect to the last device used
Another plus is the freedom from charging stress. It offers a moderate clear sound quality, 3 fins and a USB charger cable. OnePlus has a dedicated volume control to pause or play found on the left earbud.
The press hold function activates Google Assistance while a double press is used to skip tracks you don’t like.
