The removal of the headphone jack from high-end smartphones has created a boost in demand for Bluetooth headphones, as consumers opt to go wireless rather than deal with a bunch of dongles. But despite the plethora of options on the market, running the gamut from cheap $30 pairs to $400 and beyond, quality wireless headphones are few and far between.

Enter Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus; a company traditionally known for producing top tier handsets that significantly undercut more established rivals on price. OnePlus is looking to bring the same value proposition to the wireless headphone market with the $US69 ($92) Bullets Wireless. Keeping up with the OnePlus pedigree by cramming in features not typically found at this price point, these have a sound signature that blows away other Bluetooth earbuds costing more than twice as much, such as Apple's BeatsX ($200), the neckband-free Apple AirPods ($229) and Google's Pixel Buds ($250)

Like the company's latest phone, these buds aren't officially on sale in Australia, and must be imported from the US or elsewhere.

The Bullets Wireless look almost identical to the popular BeatsX; from the silicone neckband with the rubberised finish, to the layout of the physical controls, to the earbuds that latch together magnetically when not in use.

However, OnePlus' implementation is much more functional in that it automatically pauses the music and turns off the headphones when the earbuds are magnetically connected, conserving battery life in the process. As someone who often forgets to turn off their headphones after a workout, this feature alone is a godsend.
