I am bored, so did an AB comparison between the MP-20TWS and the Oneplus Buds 3 using Aqualung by Jethro Tull.
These both have very similar treble and bass, Cymbals and bass guitars have very similar tonality and presence. But wow is the midrange different! The MP is much more forward and in your face. The Oneplus is not recessed it just isnt as in your face or sharp. If you like lots of edge and detail the MP delivers in spades. But if you prefer a softer more airy vocal the Oneplus is the better choice. I like both but do find the MP a bit more fatiguing and not one I like at higher volume levels (not that I listen at anything near true high volume levels). So, if you want your music to have more vibrancy at low listening levels the MP is a great choice. But if you want a bit more space in your music and drift to higher volumes I would take the Oneplus over the MP.
Comfort is an easy win for the Oneplus due to its stem style. But the MP while it sticks out alot is not terrible for comfort either.
If you can find a good price on the MP these are a wash for cost. But at normal MSRP the MP is almost twice the cost...
Both offer great sound quality that cater to slightly different audiophile tastes.
