How we verify owners

What readers who own the OnePlus Buds 4 report after living with it. Owner-reported, checked before publishing; ordered photo-verified first, then newest.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
