OnePlus Buds and Buds Z are affordable devices that are capable of delivering unexpectedly robust audio and battery life along the way. The company occasionally releases firmware updates for its ear Buds, which will increase sound quality and battery life as well as fix bugs. Until recently, users need an OnePlus phone to update their wireless buds, but a new app, called HeyMelody, helps to install software updates from other phones as well.
Here’s how to install software updates on OnePlus Buds and Buds Z from other phones with the help of HeyMelody. So you can always ensure the latest features and enhancements for your Buds without the OnePlus phone. The app is now available on Play Store, which you can install on any phone such as Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi, Realme Oppo, Google Pixel, etc.
