- Reviewing the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, fresh 2023 true wireless earbuds boasting upgraded battery life and premium features, for a nicer price than Sony or Bose. I've been testing the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by using them as my full-time Bluetooth earbuds for a few weeks so here's my final verdict on these ANC buds.
I've reviewed lots of other True Wireless Earbuds here on Tech Spurt, including great value options like the Soundcore Life. Check out my thoughts on the best TWS for any budget, and let us know your own favourites down below!
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 offer active noise cancelling, and while this isn't as good as the very best out there, it's pretty good for a cheaper price. You'll only struggle on very noisy transport like the London Underground. You also have personalised audio features, spatial sound and lots of other cool tools.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are available to buy now in the UK.

If you want to check the case battery, you should leave one bud in the box. And you'll see the case battery % in the app
Very pleased with mine, got them around Chinese New Year (had previously got a pair for my wife). Happy with the sound quality (and my wired rig is relatively audiophile, so I'm quite picky) and overall find them to be an easy recommendation.
I have found that the noise cancellation doesn't cancel voices though, and that's a bit disappointing. As in, it specifically lets those frequencies through. But for other environmental noise they do a good enough job.
Thanks for noting the ANC and voices. I have the first gen and was really hoping the new ones improved much more on ANC. Gonna have to look elsewhere.
@@TheFreefallExplorer Check out the Soundcore Liberty Pro 3. They sound amazing.
Thanks for the review as just about to get the OnePlus 12.
Makes a change for someone to review using voice in a noisy environment!
would be good to add in a busy chatty environment. My current OnePlus Z ones; great in car on motorway but get complaints of people shouting in the background when I use in the office. Even though they are talking normally 5 metres away!
Hey there! 🌟 First off, a big thank you for all the fantastic info you provide! I'm on the hunt for new earbuds and would love your guidance. I've got my eye on the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, but I've noticed they only support LHDC, AAC, and SBC codecs. My Pixel 8 Pro, on the other hand, supports AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, LC3, and Opus.
I'm curious if the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will deliver a great experience on the AAC codec (I read a rumor about an LC3 codec update too). If not, do you have any recommendations in the ballpark of 150 EUR? Sound quality, volume, and solid bass are my top priorities. Multi-connectivity is a plus for me too. Thanks a bunch! 🙌
To check the battery status of the case, just take a look at the app while the case is open, you will see battery level.
There is no spatial audio and other key features for Apple products. Sometimes only one ear bud will work, sometimes it shows two entires in bluetooth for each earbud
does spatial audio requires snapdragon cpu?
is it based on dolby atmos (therefore every dolby atmos content will be 'spatial')
I am having problems connecting it Automatically. Can you show me a way to connect it automatically.
Which is better between huawei freebuds pro 2 and oneplus buds pro 2 in terms of audio quality
I have soundpeats air 3 deluxe hs do this worth the upgrade to silicon ?
Please help to buy what to choose Sone wf500 or freebids 5i
What blietooth codecs does this earbuds support?
Are these better than sony wf 1000 xm4
Hello guys I need small help I am using non OnePlus and it has LHDC in developer options is this buds support LHDC in my mobile please respond .I am ready to buy.
I went in to listen to a microphone test, and I'm listening to background music overlaid, I think this move is genius.
Wat about gaming are they good for the galaxy s23 ultra
Love the vide lad
I had the first gen of standard Oneplus buds and they literally sounded no different to the Sony xm5 headphones. Obviously they don't have the noise cancelling features but the sound quality was no different at all considering you can't really have the xm5's very loud unless you want everyone in your country hearing what you're listening to.
Really? The xm5 let out so much sound?
To be honest, they're no different to any other headphones. It's just that headphones obvious have more sound leakage and the XM5s seem quite quiet. I like to play my music quite loud but I can guarantee someone sitting next to me or close by on public transport would be able to hear the song I am playing. @@camotech1314
No volume control? Even tho it says they do? Weird, I'd really like em if they did
I like the look of these. But are these worth buying even if spatial sound isnt supported on my current phone? Otherwise I might just buy a cheaper set.
Absolutely they're worth buying just for the amazing sound quality. I have these and the Samsung Buds 2 Pro and I go back and forth between the 2. They're both fantastic.
@@AxiomCrave-np5ns xm5 buds are so much better!
These are worth every penny and then some. Try the spatial audio feature and fall in love with all your favourite songs again
Where do you activate it?
@@gigantedocil if you search spatial audio in the settings it'll come up. I prefer the head tracking option. It's quite immersive
Would you take the liberty 4NC (65€), the sony linkbuds S (99€) or these one plus (150€) ?
Comfort and sound quality are priority
I'm at the same place as you😢 Can't decide if I should get the Linkbuds S or OnePlus Pro 2
The case easily sleeps into the pocket yeah....and out too so take care guys, I lost my case and have to buy whole new buds again. They don't offer a replacement case.
does anc block sound of fan ..low frequency sound .
What phone is ?
Hi my friend. Please.... which is the best between: xiaomi buds 4 pro vs OnePlus Buds Pro 2 ???
Depends on which phone you have 😅
Are you really getting 7 hours battery life? I haven't been able to get more than 4 hours. And also, how many times can we charge the earbuds fully using the case?
In my case, I xan charge only three times.
Yeah, most things I've seen show less than 7hrs w/ ANC on.
Unusual question but if anyone is a builder - can these fit under proper noise ear muffs ?
No, nosi cancellation is decent, but not good enough
@@kushpatel203 no mate you don't understand, I'm asking if their physical size will fit in bigger ear muffs. Look up a picture of a bloke with a jack hammer and see what he wears. I want to know if they will fit inside
@@zippyfinleyadventures they can fit under it, but will be very uncomfortable.
I have used those mufs, they are really tight on their own. I won't suggest you to fit anything under it
@@kushpatel203 thanks mate !
@@zippyfinleyadventures yes, they will
May I ask Oppo enco x2 vs Oneplus Buds pro 2. Which one is better in term of sound quality?
Also want to know
I had an x2 which I lost recently. Thinking of getting the oneplus
These things sound GREAT!! especially with a OnePlus phone, bass THUMPS and great clarity
Do you find the ANC still lets in voices? Nobody has mentioned this in reviews and it's really my only gripe with these otherwise very enjoyable buds.
@@al201103 haven't had them in in that situation I've only had them for a day but definitely will try it
Does it support spatial audio in older models? Oneplus 9 and 10?
@@AlfedAma that I don't know, only tried them with my 11
Absolutely agreed, these absolutely smashed my Anker sound core Liberty 3 pro and those are great
Where's the Xiaomi 13 review 😩
When I connected the OnePlus Buds Pro to my TV, the sound quality was not clear and sounded quite terrible. Could you please share your review of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2?
Does bass wave work with the first gens?
Hey if you were to choose between jbl live pro 2, one plus pro 2 and Sony link buds s what would you go for ? Also I am an iOS user don’t think that would make much of a difference but still :)
Same delimma 😅 how's decision on your end going?
@@princessmoncada2464 really satisfied
@@harbaazsingh1093with what earbud?
Why haven't you gone into the OnePlus bluetooth controls? I have the OnePlus 11 and won't use Hey Melody.
Quick question, do the Bluetooth controls have the exact same controls as the app?
Because my buds 2 pro won't connect to the hey melody app but I've just been using the integrated controls
@@raulespinoza8668 Yeah they're the same. In a Oneplus phone, you won't be even able to use the app as it'll redirect you to the integrated settings, which are the same as the app.
@@msnehamukherjee ahh that makes sense no wonder it wouldn't connect to the app, well that's even better, thank you!
@@raulespinoza8668 No. The Melody app doesn't have Spatial Audio which is awesome.
Come free with OnePlus 11 in UK, but run out of stock now.
Thanks you 🙏🙏🙏
Is that Xiaomi 13 Pro?
Decent product wish there was a better colour
Is hey melody available on iPhone?
Yes it's definitely available in i phones,but it works only on premium one plus earphones.
Why GREEN?
I'd rather like a bright colour (like Orange) , so I can find one if I drop it on various surfaces.
@Real_Techspurt01 the green must look like some plant is growing out of you ear.
Green looks fine,,l orange?????????you tool....
That's the exact color they offer there phones in
They are so fuc$ing comfortable ❤
Just say fucking
Better bass than the 1st ones??
What is the lifespan of OnePlus buds pro?
Unfortunately, these earbuds are not replaceable or repairable. I can't help but feel that OnePlus is intentionally designing the software to make the earbuds last for only a year, forcing customers to upgrade to the latest version, like the recently released Buds Pro 2.
I purchased the OnePlus Buds Z a few months after they were released. I was hesitant because there were no test units available in Sri Lanka, but I was pleasantly surprised by the audio quality. After almost a year of use, I decided to upgrade to the OnePlus Buds Pro, which had impressive active noise cancellation and transparency mode, although I didn't notice a significant improvement in sound quality. I gave my Buds Z to a friend, but after a year, they complained that the battery life on one side was very low and lasted for less than an hour. I suggested basic fixes, but the problem only got worse until the earbud became unusable.
On the other hand, I had no issues with my OnePlus Buds Pro until eight months after use when one side stopped charging. After almost a year of use, the battery life on the left earbud became so bad that it couldn't even last for three songs. Despite trying various reset methods, there was no improvement. Unfortunately, these earbuds are not replaceable or repairable.
I can't help but feel that OnePlus is intentionally designing the software to make the earbuds last for only a year, forcing customers to upgrade to the latest version, like the recently released Buds Pro 2. This is unacceptable, and I am extremely disappointed. I will never purchase or recommend OnePlus products again. It's important to raise awareness about this issue so that other consumers are informed and not deceived.

Hi, I don't consider ear buds to be a long term investment, but if you are dissatisfied, simply buy a different brand. The marketing strategy suggested sounds like something a 12 year old would come up with.

I'm sorry, but your response is completely unacceptable. It's not about considering earbuds a long term investment or not, it's about the fact that these earbuds are marketed as 'PRO' and are not cheap. Consumers expect them to last for more than a year, especially when they pay a premium price for them. Your dismissive attitude towards customer dissatisfaction is disappointing, to say the least. And your comment about 'buying a different brand' is insulting and shows a lack of accountability on OnePlus' part. I won't stand for it. It's time for OnePlus to take responsibility for its faulty products and provide a better solution than just buy another one.' Your dad buying you the latest and greatest might be an option, but for most of us, it's not that simple. We work hard for our money, and we expect products to last longer than a year. Your response is simply not good enough.
I've had the original OnePlus Buds Pro for three years and they are still going strong. Have the Buds Pro 2 still in the box ready to go when these give it up.
Hey was the game at 3 minutes in?
it's genshin impact
Apple Spatial audio doesn't sounds good
I'm waiting for new Honor man.
They work really well and I got a pair free with the OnePlus Open 😅
you should've gotten a free blowj*b after been ripped of by paying $1700 for a phone
@@Apenbroodpeer is that an offer🤪
@@Apenbroodpeerfor real, that phone is so overpriced. He must be a fucking Persian prince or something. 😂😂😂
🤔Is this true that "After using for 6 months is there any battery issue"??????PLEASE REPLy......❤
I've got mine since May and no problem...
Had mine for a long time, zero issues.
You will have issues with connecting to iOS which is Apple products.
There was issue when connecting to iPhone?
I lost my oneplus buds pro 😢it was the best my ears ever had
Does it good for gaming?🤔
You doesn't good for English
Better than Airpods Pro 2
Rock on..
All that money and no volume control tut tut
The microphone is absolutely terrible and doesnt work properly in calls
These suffer from a common fault. The microphone in them stops working due to a firmware fault. The company knows about the problem but have refused or are unable to present a solution.
elaborate please
Guys, please be careful when purchasing OnePlus products. They kill the buds when a upgraded version is about to be launched. Almost everyone started facing battery life issues after the final firmware update for OnePlus Buds Pro. The service center denied me service during warranty saying liquid damage. I had to file a consumer grievance against OnePlus and go after them on Twitter and FB to get help because I was 100% sure there's no liquid damage. They finally picked my device up after about 6 months (out of warranty) and replaced it with Buds Pro 2. I had to fight to get justice! I am sure all of your buds have the same issue. They killed it with software uodate. You guys need to collaborate and collectively file consumer grievance to bring this to the attention of the authorities.
Yeah I couldn’t use my buds after 6 months. But it was great as long as it was charging properly
Figured something like this was happening. Mine went from lasting almost all day to now lasting MAYBE an two or three hours while not in use.
Same happened with mine, only lasts for maybe 20-25 mins max
I just got my OnePlus buds pro 2 yesterday after being confused with having to go with these it Google pixel buds pro. After this comment I feel a bit scared. Hopefully, they don't do that😭
@@ateeqahmed7945 if money is not an issue go with airpods 2 pro. After using multiple buds I can assure you airpods are more durable and provide better assistance
No aptx is a big deal
bolive me even on AAC codek sounding amazing
@@subkarpatyHey broI need small help I am using non OnePlus and it has LHDC in developer options is this buds support LHDC in my mobile please respond .I am ready to buy.
@@Rakesh-rr3pi Yes lhdc and acc
I don't like how they stick out. The Galaxy Buds look much nicer.
But sound much worse
OnePlus team
I'll never buy again. Right bud is near unusable after 2 months.
Ahhhhhhh
First, oops no Second 😁
Very low quality, poor software. Only some OnePlus phones are supposed to be milked, or many of the claimed features will not work. sound at 3/10 points. A lot of marriage. Their maximum price is $20. They are very inconvenient to use
the price is a JOKE lololol no thanks!
They look like any average 20-50$ ear buds
These buds are not good I don't recommand them
why ? any particular reason ?
@@TheGameDealerif he can’t tell any reason, then the product is still considered good.
I don't like the way they sound. Not hi res, very rudimentary earbud controls with no volume option. This is a $50 product.
It will not work after one year . Fraud Oneplus . My buds pro Battery stopped working exactly after one year .
Are these good with an IPhone? 🫣 dont wanna pay 250€ again for AirPods Pros ☹️
hello you have telegram? because someone was replied my comment on your last video
