5.0 out of 5 stars Stop overthinking & trust me on this one – does more than just the job at a budget price!
Ordered during Great Indian Festival.
Effective price after SBI Discount was Rs. 2250/-
I ordered this product after thorough research.
And I am happy that for this price, it exceeds my expectations.
Design – Similar to Nord Buds the first. But, both the gray and white colors have some faint dotted design over the case and the stem of the buds. Faint flue dots over white. I was not prepared for that, at first glance, it looks a little dusty but can be overlooked.
Both the case and buds are very lightweight and easy to carry.
However, what I found to be a downside is that the buds dont have any magnetic attraction between them, so while they’re easy to place in the case, outside the case they can’t be clubbed together.
Fit – Fits perfectly. No pain/discomfort. When I move my head from side to side, they stay put. I ran on the treadmill for a few minutes at 12kmph. They didn’t even budge. It didn’t feel like they would slip out. Which is great.
Call Quality – The thing I was most worried about. And it passes the test. I live on a quiet street though – The other person is able to hear me loud and clear, and sometimes, ambient sound is also audible to them but the volume of that sound is much lower than my voice so it is not bothersome. Even in busier surroundings, no one has complained about my call quality yet!
Audio Quality – I’m quite fond of listening to loud music. This does more than just justice to the loudness. I am more than happy listening at 50% volume. It’s definitely bass heavy. The quality of the sound is clear and crisp. I am very happy.
ANC – It was not a priority for me, however, I did try it. Noise cancellation is definitely very effective. It does as much as promised, not more. However, there is a faint hissing sound. But it doesn’t bother me when playing some music or audio.
Hey Melody – Its NOT detecting my earbuds yet lol. I’m an apple user. Let’s see I’ll try pairing it properly.
Switching between devices – Unpair with one to pair with another. Not much of a hassle though, its fairly quick. And it automatically pairs with my phone as soon as I take it out of the case.
Battery Life – Yet to be explored! I’m someone who carries all my chargers on the go and tend to keep all my devices well charged, so I don’t think I’ll be able to face much issue.
My Personal Reasons why I didn’t go for Buds Z2 even though my budget was flexible –
1. In Ear Detection – if it goes haywire, I don’t think there’s an option to turn it off.
2. Glossy finish – I was afraid it would slip out.
3. It was released in 2021. About time we got a Z3, no?
Reasons why I wanted Z2 –
1. 3 mics
2. Google pairing – easy switch between devices
3. More premium product
Am I happy I went with this and not with Z2 – MOST DEFINITELY YES!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars It is good but keeps getting disconnected
This ones keeps getting disconnected two times atleast in half an hour. It is very premium, unboxing experience is good. Sound is also good, fitting is good. ANC will cut some background noise to some extent, you will like it when you listen to music or watch movies.
But all this makes no sense when it keeps getting disconnected. One Plus is not going to watch this review. But I think if you want a BT earphones, then avoid this. If you want to listen to HQ music, go for IEM wired earphones

5.0 out of 5 stars Good battery life, classy finish
The battery is good, went almost a week without charging i I think. The case is classy and sleek and has a good finish. The earpiece just fit right in my ear with zero discomfort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinaire
Brilliant, Outstanding, Unpaid
A dazzling Oneplus Nord Buds, although the bass would be sharper still, and you can pair any unused device via. holding the button switch beside the USB.
But still incandescent overall!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised me in the price range
After 3 years of extremely rough use knockoff Chinese wireless Bluetooth earbud kicked the bucket. Earbud, because one of them still work(and people say Chinese tech is poorly made). At the time of buying those knockoff earbuds it was around the same price as these One Plus Nord Buds 2 price range, actually I believe it was slightly cheaper(I cannot for the life of me remember). I am not a heavy earbuds user, I mostly use it to listen to podcasts in the morning and pair it with my laptop to listen to music while I work at night. The buds seldom leave the vicinity of my work desk at home, no exposure to the elements of nature and no exposure to sweat. I clean my earbuds regularly. That being said I do listen to a wide range of music, I’m no audiophile, but can identify change in quality in the listening device.
With that in mind, these earbuds offer an okay sound quality, hence why I gave it 4 stars, the sound quality is clear and don’t have much noise, the trebles are well balanced so as to not rupture your eardrums, but the bass is overblown which is why I gave it 3 stars. The bass drowns out the other sounds, and overwhelms your ear. Especially if you are listening to an orchestral piece, you’ll struggle appreciate the individual artists. This can be solved with software to a certain extent. By using the “HeyMelody” app you can configure your OnePlus Nord Buds 2. You can use pre configured sound profiles like Balanced, Bold, Serenade, or Bass. There is also the BassWave option which allows you to adjust the clarity and fidelity of the bass via software. If you are still unsatisfied you can configure your own custom profile by adding an equalizer and creating the ideal audio setup.
Now one of the more attractive feature of these buds I have seen from other buyers is the ANC at this price point. Honestly I don’t really use the feature that much, mostly because I like to be aware of my surroundings and not get completely immersed in whatever I’m doing on the computer/phone. But the ANC works kinda well? I mean it’s not the same as Apple’s ANC, but for 3k you should temper your expectations. By holding down on the touch gesture surface on the ear buds or by going into the app on your phone you can enable ANC. It was able to completely tune out the ambient buzzing sound of my Air Conditioning, which is old and loud, so I think the ANC is very good. The only thing is when there is no audio playing you’ll hear a hissing or buzzing sound if you have ANC enabled. It’s not super annoying, but that is just my personal opinion.
As for battery backup, I have managed to go 2 days without charging the buds, but this is with light usage. It still has 90% left even after I have used it for 2 days so I think the battery backup is good. The case is sturdy and the buds fall into place within the case magnetically. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and that’s all I have to say about the buds.
I have however talked to people that bought these buds as a part of expanding their OnePlus ecosystem, and they claim that these buds are amazing when paired with their OnePlus phone or OnePlus tablet. I wouldn’t know, I don’t believe in ecosystems.
But people, for 3k this is totally worth the price. Haven’t met with any issues till now, if I do I’ll make sure to update this review. Cheers

3.0 out of 5 stars Good yet drawbacks
It’s been a month m using this OnePlus Nord2 earbud product, sound and Noise cancellation functions are just amazing. But the earbuds are not comfortable wearing even 1hr continuously. Firstly it’s not fit to ear perfectly resulting falling down several times, secondly getting ear pain terribly.company has to pay some attention to its design.

4.0 out of 5 stars From An iPhone User’s Perspective.
Quick Verdict:
1. Sound Good .
2. Good battery life and Well built.
3. Clear mics.
4. Can’t access basic features on iOS .
5. Not recommended as a primary set of earbuds for iOS devices.
6. One Plus has not added support for these buds in their HeyMelody app on iOS, they have added support for others.
Background
• Purchased as a spare for 2nd Gen AirPods Pro.
• Primary devices are iPhone and iPad; also own an older Android (Poco F1).
Sound Quality (7/10): Warm and Vibrant
• Impressively balanced with a V-shaped sound signature.
• Sound stage is average, decent stereo separation.
• Bass: Clean , booming, but lacks definition.
• Mids: Enhanced by a less aggressive sound signature, decent for vocals and string instruments.
• Highs: Detailed but can be harsh or sibilant at times.
• AirPods Pro: Tighter bass, vibrant mids, detailed highs, and superior sound stage. I know it’s an unfair comparison.
Features
1. ANC (5/10)
• Ineffective except against low-frequency noises like an AC.
• Slight hiss when ANC is active.
2. Transparency (6/10)
• Mediocre compared to AirPods’ transparency mode.
3. Touch/Tap Controls (6.5/10)
• Customizable via Android only.
• No volume adjustment.
• Not very responsive; prone to accidental taps.
4. Ear Detection
• Does not function on iOS.
5. Microphones
• Do their job. No problems.
Battery & Charging
• Lasts approximately 6-6.5 hours with 50% volume and ANC on.
• Charges quickly: 0 to 30-40% rapidly.
• USB-C case provides three additional full charges.
iOS Limitations
• No customization of sound profiles, dynamic bass, or firmware updates.
• Lacks Dolby Atmos and Dirac support.
• Does not support seamless device switching.
Workaround
• Pair and customize on an Android device; settings save to buds.
• Settings carry over when reconnected to iOS but require re-customization for changes.
• Similar restrictions apply to Apple’s AirPods.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price
I bought this product recently. Used it full-fledged for about 10 days. I am using this product with realme gt2 pro.
Lets talk about cons first
1. Ear comfort of this product is ok but not
great. Using more than 1 hr ear
starts to hurt and painful. You need to
remove buds from ear and then keep
again to tackle the pain. I tried other ear
tips which comes in the box. tried small
ear tips which made comfort even worse
and painful.
2 when audio is paused you will hear some
kind of gizzz sound which is very
annoying may be it is to handle outside
sound it seems. In transparency mode
gizz sound is less as you will hear outside
noise. When your not playing anything
keep buds aside or in the box donot
keep in ears. Trust me you will definitely
feel discomfort.
3 ANC – Active Noise Cancellation is
working good but not great. You can still
hear outside noises. But it does have
difference. 50 percent of noises will be
reduced but not complete isolation.
4 Hey Melody App. when phone bluetooth
is on buds will automatically pairs which
is great but when you go into app it still
shows select device to connect. But from
bluetooth settings i am able to select
and configure the product. I feel if device
is connected app should atleast show it
is connected.
Pros
1. Sound Quality is great.
2. Bass is great.
3. Switching with between multiple device
is great as it wont automatically shift to
other device and you have to touch and
hold long to shift and continue using. It
can be configure from app.
4. Battery backup is good.
5. Having ANC in this price is great.
6. Ear fitting is great. It wont fall from the
ear.
Hope this review helps..!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Genuine Suggestion about the product
To be honest, I loved the quality of the buds even though, it is made of plastic. I have been using the buds since 1 year and I would say it genuinely has rapid pairing between two devices that feature blew my mind as it was the new one personally for me and I wore it outside while it was raining perhaps it still worked out to be perfect as the water get inside the buds still it automatically vanish the water inside the buds and worked like it doesn’t even got wet. Perhaps there is an unfortunate thing with the battery life with the constant usage of the buds I only get 4 hours battery backup so as it suggest to be 7 hours it is a biggest cap that’s the only drawback of the buds other then else it a perfect fit for 2,499 budget quit impressive.
