OnePlus Buds 4 pricing and availability

Speaking from prior experience, the predecessor OnePlus Buds 3 were fantastic value at $100. They were loaded with the right features without the unnecessary overkill. Most people were better served with the Buds 3 rather than spending the extra money to get a more premium pair of earbuds. With the OnePlus Buds 4, OnePlus seems to be on the right track to repeat the same reception, even though the post-discount pricing has slightly increased.
