OnePlus Buds Z2

The OnePlus Buds Z2 work best with OnePlus phones, but they're not totally off-limits for everybody else

Comfortable ; Decent battery life ; Responsive controls ; Effective ANC

Overly bassy sound ; No EQ ; No wireless charging ; Basic design

The OnePlus Buds Z2 work best with OnePlus phones, but they’re not totally off-limits for everybody else. It will help if you like your tunes served with plenty of bass, though.

OnePlus Buds Z2 review: ANC earbuds on a budget

The OnePlus Buds Z2 are worth considering if you're on a budget

Three noise-cancelling modes ; Ear detection so you won’t lose one ; Decent battery life

Need a OnePlus phone to make the most of them ; No manual equaliser

The OnePlus Buds Z2 combine affordability with great sound and effective noise-cancelling. You'll be able to make the most out of everything they have to offer if you own a OnePlus smartphone but even if you don't these are well-rounded wireless...

OnePlus Buds Z2 review

The latest budget-focused true wireless earbuds from OnePlus look to offer an AirPods-level experience for less than £100

Affordable price ; Impressive smart features ; Great audio with strong bass ; ANC & Transparency mode

Some features exclusive to OnePlus phones ; Occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues

The OnePlus Buds Z2 offer an immersive listening experience, great battery life and enhanced smarts at a very tempting price - but you'll need a recent OnePlus phone to get the most out of the budget buds.

OnePlus Buds Z2 Review: Too Much Bass, Not Enough Grace | Digital Trends

The OnePlus Buds Z2 with ANC are a big upgrade over the first Buds Z, but have also doubled in price. Do the extra features justify splashing out on them?

Light and comfortable to wear

Bass-heavy sound profile

“Active Noise Cancellation is a welcome addition to the lightweight OnePlus Buds Z2, but the heavy bass delivered by the 11mm drivers can be overpowering, and they don't really stand out enough to beat the competition.”

OnePlus Buds Z2 Review

Quality audio performance with substantial bass depth and bright highs ; Decent noise cancellation for the price

Dolby Atmos requires a OnePlus phone ; User experience is better with OnePlus devices

The true wireless Buds Z2 offer impressive sound, competent noise cancellation, and an intuitive experience for OnePlus phone owners, but they're less enticing for everyone else.
