OnePlus has announced that its new True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds, the OnePlus Buds Z, will launch in Malaysia in late November 2020. The brand’s latest audio device features a familiar in-ear design, and is marketed as a more affordable variant of the original model that was released earlier in July.

Hardware-wise, the new earbuds are equipped with 10mm dynamic drivers, the aforementioned ANC capabilities, and features 3D stereo audio enhanced by Dolby Atmos with Bass Boost.
