Needed to buy a pair during the Amazon sale, but I’m confused about which one makes the most sense for the price. I’ve already used the Nord Buds 3 and Nord Buds 3 Pro before, so I know what to expect from them, but for the Nord Buds 4 Pro I’m mostly relying on online reviews and comparisons.

My main priorities are sound quality first, then build quality, call quality, and overall value for money. I don’t care much about gimmicky features unless they actually improve the experience.

The prices I’m currently getting are:

Nord Buds 3 is Rs. 2.05k, Nord Buds 3 pro is Rs. 2.7k, Nord Buds 4 pro is Rs. 4k

The 4 Pro is almost double the price of the Buds 3, so I want to know whether the upgrade is genuinely noticeable in real-world usage or if the 3 Pro already hits the sweet spot for value. Participation will be appreciated, thanks!

I’m really stuck between these two and would love some honest advice from people who’ve used either, or ideally both.

I’m looking for good sound and build quality first, but also want to make a sensible value-for-money decision. I plan to keep whichever I buy for at least 5 years, so I’m treating this more like an investment than an impulse purchase.

I’m currently using OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro and I actually like how they sound, but I want to move to over-ear headphones because in-ears get uncomfortable for long sessions. I’d want my next pair to sound noticeably better than these.

I was pretty set on the Accentum Plus because 13k felt like good value, but then I started reading about issues like mic quality, and a few quirks people mentioned with volume behavior, and now I’m second guessing.

Then there’s the Momentum 4, which seems amazing, but at 24k it’s almost double the price, and I can’t tell if it’s genuinely worth that premium or if I’m just getting pulled into “buy the flagship” thinking.

My use case is mostly:

  • Music first (I listen to a lot of Daft Punk, Coldplay, R&B, synth-pop etc.)
  • Long desktop listening sessions
  • Dual connectivity with phone and laptop matters
  • Some conference/voice calls, though music is the bigger priority

What I’m really trying to understand is: is the Momentum 4 actually worth paying 11k more for, or is Accentum Plus the smarter buy and I’m overthinking it?

Need to decide soon, so would really appreciate real user input.
