OnePlus Buds comes alongside the company’s next smartphone, but so far we don’t know much about these wireless headphones. However, in an interview published today, OnePlus has confirmed that Buds will use Warp Charge to recharge the battery at super speeds.
Talking with TechRadarJay Liu, project manager for OnePlus Buds, confirmed that OnePlus Buds will use Warp Charge. This is the same brand that OnePlus uses in the system that charges its smartphones impressively fast, so you can expect very fast charging from these headphones.
Exactly how fast? Liu says OnePlus Buds will be able to gain up to 10 hours of power in just 10 minutes of charging. That’s Really fast when compared to the competition. Apple says that users can only get 5 hours of power on a 15-minute charge. Google, on the other hand, claims just 2 hours on a 10-minute charge on its new Pixel Buds. However, the Google figure refers to the headphones themselves, not the case, as OnePlus is talking about.
Liu goes on to explain that users will not get the same rates that they would find on one of the company’s smartphones. In contrast, OnePlus Buds will charge at this speed using any charger that supplies more than 10W of power. Speeds will be limited to 5V 1.5A to ensure the internal battery of the case, a 430mAh cell, is not damaged.
Unfortunately, users won’t have the option to charge OnePlus Buds with wireless charging. Why not? “That would increase the cost,” as Liu explained. Shame.
