OnePlus Icons Earphones Launched at Rs. 2,999

The OnePlus Icons earphones are now available to buy in India at a price tag of Rs. 2,999. The earphones were until now limited to the US, where they cost at $49.99. The earphones are now available to buy from Amazon India.

The company announced availability for Monday over the weekend. It says the OnePlus Icons earphones design takes cues from the organ piano, and they are made of aluminium. The in-ear earphones come with multiple sizes of silicone ear tips. As compared to most of the other earphones in the market that feature 9mm drivers, the Icons earphones include 11mm drivers for better bass and treble performance.

OnePlus Icons also include a three-button in-line remote control, which enables users to play or pause their music, increase or decrease audio volume, and answer incoming phone calls. It is "compatible with all OnePlus devices and most Android phones," says the company.

The earphones have a cable length of 1.25 metres and a sound pressure of 110dB. With a frequency range of 20-20,000Hz, the OnePlus Icons are available in only the Graphite colour in India, though a Gold variant was also announced.

OnePlus has previously launched its Silver Bullet Earphones and has also collaborated with JBL for E1+ Earphones for OnePlus One.

The company last month launched its third smartphone - the OnePlus X. The dual-SIM supporting OnePlus X, running OxygenOS based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Amoled display, and is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC coupled with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It comes with 16GB of built-in storage expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB). Also included are a 13-megapixel rear camera with flash and an f/2.2 aperture, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/2.4 aperture.
