February 7, 2023

Almost a month after its global launch, the OnePlus 11 is now official globally. With it, OnePlus also announced the successor to the very first Buds Pro. Here, we will discuss the official specs, features, expected price, and availability of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 in Nepal.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Overview:

Audio

One of the major highlights of the new OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is the dual-driver audio setup. While the original Buds Pro settled for a single 11mm dynamic woofer its successor pairs it with a second 6mm driver. Moreover, the new Buds Pro 2 is tuned by Dynaudio, which is a top audiophile brand from Denmark. Dynaudio has previously worked with Oppo on a number of premium audio products and it’s the first time it has collaborated with OnePlus.

The Buds Pro 2 are also among the first TWS earbuds that enable the spatial audio feature of Android 13. This will adjust the sound source to adapt to how you turn your head, providing a more immersive listening experience on your Android phone or tablet. The earphones contain six-axis motion sensors to assist head tracking for this.

Being a premium TWS, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 also has Active Noise Cancellation. The company is said to have used a new ANC algorithm to improve noise cancellation significantly. The Buds Pro 2 is now rated for 48dB ANC, up from 40dB of last year.

OnePlus claims the earbuds are effective in adapting the noise cancelation curve based on the user’s ear structure for more effective results. Moreover, they can dynamically adjust the ANC level based on the ambient sound.

In addition, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 also has an AI call noise reduction algorithm, which uses input from three mics for improved voice isolation.
