When ANC is enabled, it will last for six hours, extending to 22 hours with the case. Connectivity options will include Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, and dual connections. The Buds Pro 2 was launched earlier this year with OnePlus 11, suggesting the company may follow a similar trend with Buds 3.
