Check other design elements, we will see a familiar circular dome with the audio drivers, magnets, and possibly IR-sensor. The IR-sensor will help the buds detect if the user is still wearing them for auto-pause or play features. We have already seen such a feature in the OnePlus Bullets Wireless neck-back earphones.
