The noise-canceling claim for the Buds 4 always felt overstated when you put it next to what Sony or Bose do at similar price points. OnePlus made solid hardware but their ANC tuning was aggressive in a way that introduced its own fatigue on longer sessions. The real loss here is that their ecosystem play was actually getting better, with fast pairing and decent app support that most phone-brand earbuds skip entirely. Anyone know if the Buds 4 still gets security updates, or is that train fully off the rails now?
