New-age phone makers these days don’t just make phones, but also almost every possibly accessory that they think you might have to use with one.
In this case, OnePlus, makers of the new OnePlus X smartphone and the OnePlus 2 from earlier this year, have announced a new pair of earphones in the Icons.
The OnePlus Icons appear to be slightly higher-end than the first pair of earphones from the company, the Silver Bullets. And that reflects in the price too; the Icons aren’t dirt cheap, but instead $49.99 for a pair.
The earphones use the in-ear design, and come in Gold and Graphite colors and feature a standard three-button configuration with the inline control which also has a mic. OnePlus reckon that the Icons are compatible with all of their phones, and most Android devices.
Some specifications:
- 11mm dynamic drivers
- 3.5mm jack
- 5mW power rating
- 110dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
- 32-ohm Impedance
- Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): <0.5%(1000Hz, 1mW)
- Sound Pressure Level (SPL): 110 dB
- 20-20,000Hz frequency response
- 15g weight
- 1.25m cable length

There’s no word on when the OnePlus Icons will be up for sale. The earphones should be available invite-free unlike the new OnePlus X.
no
Looks great!
But I think my Piston 3 is good enough already
it looks like earrings… i’m not sure it’ll fit male ears.
BTW you’re right about Piston, why bother paying double for it’s 1+ clone.
On sales you can get a pair of Piston 3 for less the 20 usd
Looks Ugly! Like some kinda usb plug that almost mutated to a euro plug)
Look ugly AF and cheap, like they only probably cost 1(euro) to make. Lol
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): <0.5%(1000Hz, 1mW)
Can't be cheap to produce wich such a low THD. Except if this value is fake.
Yaks(on the design), I don’t think its good idea for the phone makers to jump in to copy what Xiaomi is doing. Apart from the price and extra unnatural bass from the piston theirs are also at best mediocre.
Cool. I think it will be perfect with my lg hi-fi 😀
