The OneBuds Buds Pro 2 look the part and benefit from input from Dynaudio but disappoint in the Spatial Audio department

Attractive aesthetic; Snug and comfortable fit; Enjoyable default Dynaudio sound;

Spatial audio inconsistencies; “Personalised” ANC adds very little; No volume touch controls;

We liked the original OnePlus Buds Pro because of their relatively affordable price and strong active noise cancellation (ANC). The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 ($179.99) up the ante with dual drivers, excellent Bluetooth codec compatibility, above-average durability, and support for Google's spatial audio. That said, a lot has changed since 2021, and the Buds Pro 2 aren’t as competitive in the ANC department as the second-gen AirPods Pro ($249) or the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II ($299). On the other hand, they cost less and offer seamless integration with OnePlus phones, making them well worth considering if active noise cancellation isn't your top priority.A High-Class Design and Connectivity Available in black or green, the stem-style Buds Pro 2 have a sophisticated semi-matte two-tone sheen. They ship with three pairs of silicone eartips (S, M, and L) that enable a secure in-canal fit. Internally, each earpiece houses an 11mm dynamic driver that handles the lower frequencies and a 6mm ...

The true wireless OnePlus Buds Pro 2 offer a lot to like, including next-gen Bluetooth codec support and seamless integration with the company's phones.

If you want the best of both worlds, then they may not be so attractive, as I found out after a couple of weeks of listening to them. Here’s what they are like. These small earbuds blend a matte finish with polished stems for an eye-catching look, and the Arbor Green color seen in our photos is made to complement the Eternal Green color of the OnePlus 11 smartphone. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are also available in black. The case is in the same color and is made of slightly textured plastic. This makes it light, but it does feel like it’ll scratch easily, and I really wouldn’t want to accidentally tread on it, as the lid doesn’t feel like it’ll survive without cracking. The design itself hasn’t really c...

Great Dynaudio-tuned musical performance; Long battery life; Dual Connection works well; Android and iOS compatibility;

Poor ANC and transparency performance; Limited Spatial Audio support;
