The Chinese smartphone maker has been working on a pair of truly wireless earbuds for a while. Now, it is believed that the earbuds are set to be launched in July, alongside company’s new smartphone – OnePlus Z. The phone will help extend OnePlus’ presence in the mid-range segment. 

A new teaser shared by leakster @maxJmb, hints at the design of the OnePlus Buds. It confirms that the company will likely drop the Bullets moniker from this new line-up of products.

The design is similar to Apple AirPods. The teaser shows the buds housed inside a case with an LED in front -- possibly an indicator for charging and battery level. The earbuds are expected to come with advanced features such as touch controls, Google Assistant, and fast-pairing.
