Buds Pro 2, Arbor Green, Audiophile-Grade Sound Quality Co-Created with Dynaudio, Best-in-Class ANC, Immersive Spatial Audio, Up to 39 Hour Playtime with Charging case, Bluetooth 5.3

This is my first set of wireless buds. I was previously using a pair of Sony earbuds with noise canceling. They provided a fantastic audio experience; however, when I switched to a Oneplus 11, wireless was the only option. I decide to buy these when the price drop on Prime day, and after 3 weeks of daily use, I have no regrets. See TLDR at the end. The audio quality is exceptional. While the EQ presets for rock, pop, and soul are passable, it is possible to create up to three customized EQ settings which allowed me to adjust deep basses and punchy highs. Pairing it with the Oneplus 11 gives the option to play audio in hi-res (at the cost of battery life) and spatial audio, both fixed and head tracking (for audio apps that support it). There is also a Golden Sound feature that creates an audio file specific to ear canal structure and hearing characteristics. This is accomplished by playing a series of frequencies and making adjustments so the entire range in balanced. It seems to do what it proclaims, as the audio is much fuller when enabled. Phone calls sound equally clear and crisp. I had no difficulties hearing and understanding the other person, and the delay was mostly unnoticeable. Nothing special, but more than serviceable. The noise canceling is decent, but not as good as other earbuds I've used. In a crowded coffee shop, with the phone audio at about 40% and noise canceling enabled, I could hear the people sitting next to me talking, although I couldn't make out what they were saying. Also, loud ambient sounds such as mixers and steamers were audible with noise canceling enabled. In addition to noise cancelation, there is a Transparency mode with activates the mic to mix in external audio. This is great when using the earbuds in a setting where interruptions are expected or you need to be more aware of your surroundings. This was useful when walking/jogging on paths shared with bikes, as I could easily hear riders approaching me from behind. The expected audio controls were present. By default, play and pause are activated by a single light squeeze on the stem, skip track with a quick double squeeze, replay/jump back with a triple squeeze. Additionally, a single long press switches between noise cancellation and transparency mode. The controls are customizable and are independent for the left and right buds. One option not present is the ability to adjust volume. Battery life is exceptional. I use my buds with active noise canceling and hi-res audio, and they easily make it past the 6 hour advertised run time. My typical use is only a few hours at time, and with the fast charging, they are at 100% when I take them from the case. The lowest I let the case charge drop to was around 20%, and that was after giving me about 30 hours of use. The included tips provided a comfortable experience even with several hours of continuous use. I recently used them during a 10 hour flight and had them in for about 6 straight hours. 3 of those hours were in Zen mode while I slept to the sounds of waves washing onto a beach. Even through turbulence and some head movements, the buds stayed firmly in place. Three sizes are included, and I needed to switch to the largest to get the best fit (at least according to the in app fit test). If the included tips are not to your liking, it's easy enough to replace them. I plan on swapping them with a set of foam tips from my previous ear buds. There were a few additional features that turned out to be quite welcomed. When using a camera app, double squeezing the stem on either bud will activate the shutter. There is a dual connection option, and I generally keep the buds paired with my phone and PC. The aforementioned ear fit test that balances frequencies. There is also a find my earbuds feature which causes the buds to emit a chime. The chime is pretty quiet, so it would only be useful in quiet environments. The buds can also be set up with Find my Device and will show on a map the last place the buds were connected to the phone. TLDR; If you have a Oneplus 11, these buds are a no brainer. Paired with anything else, you get a great audio experience, but will need to rely on additional apps to enable playback controls, active noise canceling/transparency, and EQ adjustments.

These do NOT support LC3, which my Google Pixel 8 supports, but they DO support LHDC, which my Google Pixel 8 does NOT support. They sound great however, even with the older bluetooth audio codecs. Something I noticed was that when connected to my one plus phone, there is an entirely different audio curve than when connected to my pixel. Weird. Just changing the equalizer in the app resolved this and I could not tell the difference between my pixel and oneplus phones. Switching between devices is sooooo easy with these. It will connect to multiple devices and just play audio from the device with media playing. It prioritizes calls over media playback, so when I get a call but am listening to music on my computer, I dont have to mess with any settings to use the earbuds for the call. They just work!! They fit very comfortably, and they work all day for listening during my 9 hour shift. They feel high quality and I love that they pause playback when you take it out of your ear. I haven't tried passthrough on any other earbuds, but to me, this is sufficient. Noise cancelling is also pretty great. There is no way to bind volume controls to touch gestures which is unfortunate, but pretty much the only con for me. The case feels good in my pocket and I doubt they will fall out of the case for any reason. So my only two concerns: volume control shortcuts, and missing audio codecs (mainly just lc3 pleaaase add lc3 capabilities)

These are excellent sounding buds. I've compared these with the Oppo Enco x2, Galaxy Buds Pro 2 and Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. These buds have an extremely good mix of soundstage and clarity. They are my most musically engaging earbuds out of the 3 and I find myself always going back to these. They sound super natural and silky. They have very good quality bass that is definitely boosted, if your not a bass head you'll probably want to turn it down in the app which is what I did. The Oppo Enco X2 are highly regsrded and definitely have the best sound quality "on paper" but they are actually my least favorite out of the 3 to listen to because I don't find them to be very musical. Like everything sounds super crisp and clear but not engaging. However if you just need sound clarity these are above the rest. And I still appreciate them for that reason. The Galaxy buds are the best "all around" package if you have a Samsung phone. They do everything well but they aren't perfect at anything. But they have great soundstage and good sound quality. I also really like the design and features. I find myself wanting to use them alot because they are just appealing in lots of ways. The sound clarity isn't as good as the other two, but I don't think it's super noticable if you aren't an audiophile. Like I thought I wanted sound clarity above all things but I realized soundstage and musicality are more important to me. And these have that. I am very happy with them. But the OnePlus Buds Pro are my favorite still, because they just deliver the best sounding music. I recommend boosting the mids and I actually got a lot from boosting the lowest borderline mid frequencies up as well. My only issue with them is the in ear detection seems buggy at times and I've experienced the ANC having one earbud go transparent here and there so it's unfortunate that happens. But it might also just be my buds? Either way it doesn't happen enough to bother me and there might be a reason for it due to fit but idk. My rank is OnePlus Buds Pro 2, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Oppo Enco X2. But I need to clarify the Oppo Enco X2 are probably one of the clearest sounding if not the clearest sounding buds on the market. They just don't bring great soundstage which I care about alot. Ive tried all the preset EQs and there is no custom EQ on those. And I didn't add the liberty 4 NC because I didn't like them at all. I thought they sounded thin.

Super comfy, super easy to put on take off, adjust. Controls SUCK - they put them on the INSIDE of the stems next to the ears when I'm wearing them - so I can't seem to manipulate them AT ALL outside of the control offered by whatever app I happen to playing on my phone. They sound wonderful - deep throaty bass, crystal clear highs, gorgeous mid-range - but if I'm listening in bed and I lay on one side, the sound completely goes out in that ear. It's an odd phenomenon. Talking on the phone is great, I can hear the other person very well, and they seem to hear me with no issues whatsoever. My best friend never complained about sound issues once in our entire conversation. He never even mentioned sound quality - a first since the original time I used "hands free tech" to talk to him over the phone. Like, since LANDLINES, so that's pretty BIG (picky guy, my friend). So, a pretty wild mix of pros and cons. The pros are STELLAR, like, absolutely TOP SHELF. And then the CONS are JUST as stupifying - why are the manual controls IMPOSSIBLE to manipulate without taking the earbud out of the ear? I WANT to rate these higher because the PROS are SO SO strong, but I ALSO want to rate the product so much LOWER because the cons SUCK. In the end, there are more pros, and what pros they are. If you're okay with never touching your earbuds once you put them in your ears (you'll forget they're there anyway, trust me.) then I can HIGHLY recommend these to you. But if you like your "hands free" touch controls while your phone is out of reach, you may want to consider another product. You WILL be missing out on some of the best sounding earbuds I've ever listened to, though. And certainly the most comfortable.

(Update) As much as I want to recommend this, I can't. After about one year of use, the left earbud is failing. The volume is low, uneven and tinny. The right earbud still works fine and sounds great. I tries every troubleshootung step. I'm familiar with computers and electronics and frequently do troubleshooting and diagnosis. I am a technical individual with a technical background. I tried cleaning with IPA, using compressed air, hard reset, I even tried as a last resort taking off the mesh speaker cover to see if it's blocked. Nothing was blocking the grill and it still sounded broken. I tried everything and it's been a whole year so I doubt warranty will do anything about this. There are many other headphones that won't fail on you, do not buy this, you've been warned. (Old review) I was all jabras before, I've been trying all sorts of tws options. I've found these to be almost perfect, it's close enough. The app is perfect, it just works and the EQ, the hearing test and everything about the app is the best I've seen. In contrast, jabra has an ok app and akg has the worst I've ever seen in my life. The sound quality is excellent for it's price range, it sits right below the best of the best. It's good enough where you may not need to upgrade further, though if you're looking for the best then you'll have to keep going, maybe technics az80, denon perl pro or bang & olufson beoplay ex. Features are fully loaded, mic quality seems ok as I haven't had any complaints and people hear me fine. The transparency mode works well, I'm pleased with it. Touch controls are done very well, but personally I prefer physical buttons no matter how good touch controls may be. These look attractive and the colorway is excellent. Green is perfect. Dynaudio it seems helped oneplus develope these and I can say that they have one of the best reputations in the audio industry. Comfort is very good. Everything checks out for me and I am having these wireless iems replace my previous primary tws iems. I believe these iems would be a perfect compliment for a secondary pair, such as the denon perl pro or beoplay ex.

Sound quality excellent. Must buy if you like bass with balanced dynamic sound. Fits great. Returning Samsung galaxy buds 2 pro. Day and night difference in sound quality and bass compared to galaxy buds. Galaxy buds 2 pro sound very weak once you hear these oneplus buds. Can’t speak for noise cancellation as it doesn’t matter for me. I like it without noise cancellation. Excellent fitment and seal thus noise cancellation not needed. Best value for your money. I don’t care about all the fancy features. Just care about the sound quality and deep/excellent base with balanced other frequencies. This one is perfect. The heymelody app is clean and easy. The preset eqs and basswave works seamlessly and tuning sounds excellent. Connects quickly to iphone. Just push the connect button on the case if u want to connect to a different phone. Build quality is premium. Buds feel premium metallic. Tips are high quality and provides excellent seal (may depend on ear canal shape). Premium build quality buds with premium balanced dynamic sound and deep base within budget. Don’t need to spend too much for high quality sound with bass.

I will admit I bought the because I saw Hans Zimmer advertise for them. Being a big fan of his music I thought let's give it a try. I am not a big fan of wireless ear bugs. I tried several different ones and didn't like any of them enough to keep using them. Th Apple ones don't stay in my ears at all. The other 3 brands I tried were a little better at staying in my ears but didn't sound as good as I hoped or had other issues. These are so far the best I tried and after using them for a day I'm really liking them. Let's start with the most important: They sound amazing! Solid and strong base without compromising the overall spectrum. Both music and voice sound great and natural. Setting them up with my iPhone 13 pro was as easy as it gets. Open the case, go to your phone's bluetooth setting and there they are. Tap and 2 sec later they are connected and work. No apps to instal, no complicated procedure pressing and holding buttons. After a day I can't say too much about battery life. I will update this review in a month when I have more experience. As mentioned, my ears are not shaped to hold any ear bugs in. That's just an issue I have to deal with. Surprisingly these buds stay in my ears pretty good. They come with different size rubber ends. They have an active noise cancellation mode and you can switch to a 'transparent mode' with a single touch. This is great of you want to listen to the environment or have a conversation without taking them out and not knowing where to put them. The charging case is small and light and has a USB-C connector. Overall I'm really impressed with the sound quality and features, but also the easy of use. Highly recommended for both Android and iPhone.

I've owned many ear buds, bang olfsen, beats pro wireless, aftershox, Sony wx1000, I could rattle off several more. No point. I'm into EDM and rock. (For general idea of sound profiles) This is obviously not my first pair, and not my first pair of noise cancelling.. By far these out perform many I've tried. The sound quality equal Bose over the ear, the noise cancelling may not be as good as those but they're definitely good. It kills the noise well enough for me to be well pleased. I've got Rockford fosgate 6.5" in my truck doors and two shallow 10's in a box behind the rear seat, with two separate Rockford amps... It may not make the neighbors windows rattle but you wouldn't be able to tell that sitting in the truck and the sound quality is amazing. I liken these ear buds in the same manner. The only area they may be lacking a tiny hair, is in the noise cancelling but it's better than many I've used. The sound quality of the OnePlus pro 2 is outstanding. PLENTY of bass, the mids and highs are amazing. When I want the loud, I still only use about 75-80% of my volume ability. I've had zero issues with connectivity or using them at distance. Imo, best completely wireless I've ever had. Well worth the asking price. You won't regret buying.
