OnePlus Buds 4 Storm Gray with ANC
Score: 87/100
Soundcore P31i with ANC
Score: 87/100Rankings
OnePlus Buds 4 are mid-range true-wireless earbuds with a coaxial dual-driver system, hybrid ANC up to 55 dB, and LHDC 5.0 high-resolution audio support. They lack wireless charging and have a bulkier case, and Bluetooth range is limited to about 10 m. They fit users looking for strong ANC, long battery life, and hi-res audio on a budget.
The Soundcore P31i offers ultra-light comfort, adaptive ANC and a 50-hour total battery life, making it ideal for commuters and travelers. Its bass-heavy tuning and limited transparency mode data may deter audiophiles seeking a balanced sound. Best suited for users who prioritize ANC and long endurance over detailed spec transparency.

Professional reviewers consider the OnePlus Buds 4 a strong mid-range offering, praising its deep hybrid ANC, long battery life, and LHDC 5.0 hi-res audio, while noting the missing wireless charging and modest IP ratings as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users commend the comfort, effective noise cancellation, and subtle Storm Gray design, but express concerns about the bulkier charging case, lack of wireless charging, and limited long-term feedback due to the product's recent launch.
“Excellent ANC performance (84% noise reduction, 40 dB across frequencies, on par with premium models).”
“Comfortable lightweight design (4.7 g per bud, wearable for hours).”
Professional reviewers commend the P31i for their feather-light comfort, powerful bass from the 11 mm titanium-coated drivers, and a highly effective adaptive ANC that outperforms the prior P30i. They also note the lack of deep technical data and third-party benchmarks, which limits a full performance assessment.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the earbuds' ultra-light weight, punchy bass, and long battery life, while expressing mild concerns about fit stability and the scarcity of detailed user-generated feedback.
