Chinese electronics maker OnePlus’ India line-up for 2023 includes a pair of wireless earphones – the OnePlus Buds Pro 2. These second-generation wireless earphones boast Spatial audio with support for head tracking feature, lossless Hi-Res audio, dual-audio drivers co-created by OnePlus in partnership with Dynaudio, adaptive noise cancellation, and wireless charging. Successor to the OnePlus Buds Pro, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 seems to be a step forward in the right direction. Is it? Let’s find out:
Design
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 has a familiar design. It looks similar to the predecessor, but with Dynaudio branding on the case lid signaling its alliance with OnePlus for these wireless earbuds. More about the Dynaudio-OnePlus partnership later in the review, the Buds Pro 2 impresses with the construction quality despite being no different from the predecessor.
Starting with the case, it is in a rectangular unit made of plastic with tapered sides that make it feel thinner than it actually is while holding in your hands. The case has matte finish both inside and outside, except the earphones’ storage cavity, which is glossy for a reason – easy to clean accumulated dust and dirt. The case has a clamshell design with LED indicator on the front for battery life and charging status, and USB-C port on the back side for wired charging. The pairing and reset button is inside the case.
Like the case, the earphones have a design similar to the predecessor.
