Got the Oneplus buds pro a year ago,bass is probably the best I’ve heard on any tws, it’s deep rich n thumping and as a bass head I’m highly satisfied but facing a major battery issue after a year where the buds don’t last more than 1-1.5 hrs, I’ll still get Oneplus buds pro 2 just for that bass but OP should take these quality issues seriously
Same prob!! And when looked up I found so many ppl face this issue! Looks like they do it purposely to make us buy new ones. Never buying one plus buds again
I loved my Oneplus Buds Pro, but sadly I seem to have lost them somewhere recently. I will probably pickup a pair of Pro 2 in the coming days.Thanks for a good review!
Sound is a personal thing i also prefer the sound signature of the OnePlus Pro2's. I really like the way you did the comparisons at the end of the episode. Thank you for this review it was awesome. 💯👍🇺🇸
I just placed an order for the OP Buds Pro2. I ordered the first gen Buds Pro the day they released and gave been using them almost every single day since, first with a OnePlus 7Pro and now a 9Pro. I use them all the time and theyve been the best buds I've had. They aren't perfect by any means, but they're the only earbuds I've ever been able to wear for 4+ hours without my ears hurting. I also prioritize sound quality and comfort over everything else. I almost never use ANC, but sometimes ise transparency. Im excited to check out the second generation and see what the difference is with the added second driver. I got them on sale for $112 with free shipping through the Oneplus store which I believe can only be accessed through a OnePlus phone.
@@Alextrino Unfortunately, OnePlus ruined them with the latest firmware update which got auto downloaded about a week after I got the buds. I haven't touched them since. Horrible audio quality, occasionally they pop or randomly disconnect, hissing and fuzzy vocals. Everything else about them is fantastic, but they're unusable at this point and when I asked OnePlus about a fix, they just said they don't know if or when a new firmware update will be released.
@@4fgaming925 I would give it a shot. Oddly enough, I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S24+ a couple weeks ago and the Buds Pro 2 work perfectly with it. They're integrate better than they did with my OnePlus which is very strange since they're a OnePlus product haha.
Hi picky audio, I have a question on which earbud I should buy... I really want good ANC and transparency and good bass, so should I buy the soundpeats t2 or JBL tune 230nc?
I already have 1more evo and oneplus buds pro 2 and before I had also senn. momentum 3 so I tell my point of view with compatible device with ldac and lhdc and bluetooth 5.2 ...at first there is some improvment in sound quality ("better resolution") when you testing them😢 on device with same bluetooth type connection. But also check the new firmware of 1more evo which I got today with new sound id feature called smart laudness ..so regarding my comparison between the mentioned 3 pairs of earbuds is the overall winner 1more evo in terms of overall features and price/quality ratio of course (I bought them for 120€) ..oneplus buds 2 pro 🎧 170€ and sennheiser mom for 210€..oneplus buds pro 2 🎧 have best bass but clarity is not that pure like on 1 more evo and its pushed into the back little bit because bass is dominat part of them..what about difference between ldac and lhdc it's simple ldac have still best resolution which you can get on the phone through bluetooth but there is the catch .. The connection of ldac in busy environment (in the traffic) is unstable and you get's some dropp outs but with lhdc you can get good sound quality / resolution (not the best) but without frequent dropp outs. But one last thinq if you use ldac or lhdc go to the phone developer settings /options and setup to max quality option for ldac and lhdc to 990 kbps 😉 and dont forget if you use hi-res codecs is also drain more battery life of your phone as well..one last observation the best ratio with good sound/ resolution quality and good stable connection is aptx-adaptive codek 😉👋
@@pickyaudio @pickyaudio you're welcome bro.. but please consider to buy a new android phone for better codecs results like asus zenfone 9 which has almost all availables codecs (just no lhdc codec) or some xiaomi flagship phone like xiaomi 13 with all available codecs 😉👋
I had them but decided to return them because I found them to be too expansive. Though they were great especially when it comes to sound quality I have a OnePlus 11 and it works exactly the same with any Android device (tested on Xiaomi Pad 5) The only thing you get with OnePlus/Realme phones is Spatial audio For those who don't have OP/Realme phone, just get the OnePlus Buds Pro 2r, they're the same without Spatial Audio (which you don't get without OP/Realme Phones) and no wireless charging. In France, I can find them around 90€ I've heard about Realme Buds Air 5 Pro, when I look at the specs, they look like a rebranded OnePlus Buds Pro 2 without Hans Zimmer nor Dynaudio but with adaptive EQ (hearing test) and spatial audio for all devices for around 80€/$ at the global launch (July 10th) and you'll probably get either 20% discount or 20€/$ discount
I just bought these for $99USD on amazon. I'm able to return the sony wf-1000xm4s after 2 and a half years of ownership (going through 4 pairs due to battery drain issues). I will see if these perform better than the current sony wf-1000xm3's in terms of noise cancelling (fit and comfort are important to me)
Hi, if my main priority is mic, second is sound quality - mostly listen to r&b hiphop, edm and pop. And lastly comfort. What should I go for oneplus 2pro or nothing ear 2? The price are the same at where I live. Thank you in advance
Awesome review like always ❤ I just bought Oneplus 11 and i'm using Soundpeats H1 for 1 year now i love it because i'm bass head , i want to upgrade to same bass head sound and good quality sound with feature like ANC , transparency mode , better mic quality... Do you advice me to get Oneplus Buds Pro 2 or there is any other suggestion at the same price range?
Thank you! Considering you have a one plus 11 the buds pro 2 will be a great option. Play around with the EQ and you can push out some serious bass similar to the H1 if not more 👍
@pickyaudio Hi bro , i got my Oneplus Buds Pro 2 for 120$ and i'm using it for while now it's really amazing buds ! - Better sound quality then Soundpeats H1 and has good bass like H1 - Higher Volume - Comfortable and secure in my ears - Good ANC and Transparency mode - Better Microphone quality - Fast charging - Better case shape it's easier to carry in my pocket Note: The only bad things i hated in Oneplus Buds Pro 2 is the volume controle missing and i really need it in many cases i with they make firmware update and fix it ! and app contole access i wish they make it easier, i hate to go to Bluetooth - OnePlus Buds Pro 2- earbud function .
I m also using one plus 11 phone and plan to buy a one plus buds pro2 I want to clarify from below things 1: what about the bass (reviewers told op buds have more bass like that)? 2: spatial audio working in op 11 phone ?? 3: anc is good or bad Pls let me know above things reply asap Or I can go with oppo enco X2 ,nothing ear 2. Sony wf-1000 xm4
@@sathikali111 Oneplus buds Pro 2 is amazing earbuds with awesome sound quality and specialy the bass is awesome. 2. Spacial audio ofc work with Oneplus 11 it's i don't keep it on always , is good with movie or some videos. 3. ANC is not the best but it's good. Oneplus Buds Pro 2 is awesome and i recommande it for you
I just got linkbuds s but the sidetone in calls is really bad. Have you experienced this? Ive been looking at either qc2, tw3 or these. I want good sound quality but i also use for calls a lot, and for when im skating. Any recommendations? On android so airpods probably not the best value
Awesome video man I jus got mines in a couple of days ago. Iam experiencing alil bit of ear fatigue tho. Do you think any of the spinfit 360 or 1025 would help out with that & which one is better with these earphones?. Or is a memory foam tip better in your opinion? Thanks 🙏
Thanks! You never know till you try. The cp360 are similar to the included tips though. If you think a more shallow fit will work better for you though go for the 1025
No way how is it possible cheaper oneplus buds pro2 will dethroned my sennheiser momentum 3 in sounds sir? That was tempting that oneplus buds pro 2 got my attention but just wanna ask sir did you use both your own costumed equalizer for both buds upon testing or both default setting sir?
I need help! Do I buy these ones, the Soundpeat capsule 3 or do I spend a little more and buy de AirPods Pro 2? I have an iPhone btw. My last earbuds were the momentum 3 but one of the earbuds fell and stoped working 😢
I want to ask. What is differentsound have between older 1+ buds pro and brother oppo enco x2? I have enco x2 and for other experience considering enco free 3 pro (or called air3) and 1+ buds pro 2R ( because my phone is not oppo or oneplus ohone it mean not support no support special sound function)
amazing review, I found in your videos that around the budget to mid price range the top picks are the soundcore liberty 4 nc and these one plus pro 2. If you had to pick between those which one would you recommend to buy?
I have issues with call quality on these. I have already got them replaced once because of my voice getting muffled on the mic. And the replaced unit also has the same issue. As per 1 customer care exec, these have this issue of dust getting inside the mic filter at the bottom of the buds, due to which the mic gets muffled.
Thank you very much for the review. Were you able to test the BLE update with the LC3 codec? these ones seem to be the first to have released the support, but I've not seen any review/benchmark for it in terms of quality, latency, and the ability to use the mic without downgrading the quality on pc when the lc3 codec is selected
Thanks for the review! Would you recommend these over the JBL Live Free 2? I lost my pair yesterday and wondering if I should just replace them with another pair or if these are an upgrade. I only care about bass/good sound quality/high volume, not worried about ANC/etc
i hv no idea about tws and I'm a casual gamer who needs for both gaming as well as for listening music , can you please suggest me which one is good in this price range (I'm considering to buy nothing ear2, is it better than this overall?) pls reply!
@@pickyaudio which one has better in term of low latency ( note : i dont hv OnePlus device or Nothing) is "game mode" of OnePlus buds 2 pro works with other android smartphone ??
This review just came in handy. I purchased an Airpods Pro 2 from Amazon (waiting them to be delivered) and I just saw these OnePlus buds even existed, and so I wonder if these might be a better option for me, given I have an Android phone, but this made me stick to the Airpods.
Interesting. I'm using the Sennheiser MTW3 atm but I'm looking to change since I don't really find them that comfortable (so I want to try something with a stem style build). I have a OnePlus phone so I definitely will try these out. If I'm lucky I can sell my Sennheiser's for about the same price so I don't lose any money either.
i currently us oneplus pro buds 1 for sleep and when i move around or work cause of the fit and they dont feel uncomfortable sleeping with and i use the momentum 3 when i want higher volume with insane sound quality, just ordered the buds pro 2r and im happy to hear there 10db louder than the buds 1 as the major gripe i had with them is max volume is to low for me
Amazing video! Also I was looking to buy some earbuds I have the nothing phone 1 and I'm between buying the nothing ear 2s or the OnePlus buds 2 pro I'm not sure what to do please reply if anyone knows the better one to purchase:)
Mine suddenly started letting a small amount of noise through the ‘max’ ANC setting. It will toggle on and off just slightly, to where only a little white noise begins to be heard…And I don’t have it set to smart ANC. It’s definitely some kind of issue, was wondering if you’ve experienced this and if there’s a solution. I’ve only had them a few days.
@@pickyaudio I slept on the original ones & I was blessed with a pair not too long ago and I really like them a lot. The only ones in my collection that I enjoy more are the Status Between 3ANC & the MTW3, so I’m definitely interested in the 2nd edition
@@pickyaudio, Have you received the latest firmware enabling LHDC 5.0? This update has really messed up the sound quality for me with lots of low bitrate distortion when using LHDC. I can go into the android developer menu and force higher bitrate and resolve the issue temporarily, but they revert to "adaptive" when I reconnect the buds. Adaptive seems to always select the lowest bitrate even when close to the phone. LHDC is performing worse than AAC and even SBC with this update. Is it just mine or have you experienced this also?
Hey! Im looking for TWS for mixed ios/android devices. What I look for is software compability for both systems, good ANC (at least as galaxy buds 2) and good sound quality. I prefer balanced signature / balanced with bumped bass. Im gonna use it public transport and gym. Im from Europe so pricing is different. Im considering sony wf1000 xm4/link buds s / oneplus buds pro 2 or sennheiser mom 3. Can you help me please? Till now I was using galaxy buds 2 (but theyre not supported on ios) and noble audio fokus h anc (damn, they were good, but had problems with anc :( )
i found that there is a standard version called one plus buds pro 2R that dosent have spatial audio and wireless charging and costs around 85 dollars. i was gonna buy the new liberty 4 NC for 85 dollars but now im torn between those 2. does the 2R version have the same audio quality of the originals ? and what would u recommend the 4NC or the oneplus buds for that price ? thanks !
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! 🙌
No worries! AAC is fine I use my oneplus buds pro 2 on my iPhone with no issues they sound great. The sennhieser momentum 3 are great as well just a bit more expensive. The soundcore Liberty 4/4NC use LDAC but I still think the buds pro 2 sound better with AAC
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 :)
Hey man… between the sennheiser tmw3 and one plus buds pro 2: if I’m looking for epic clear and good sub bass, clear lows and detailed highs, which should i get? (I like listening loud)
Can anyone explain the difference between the sound profiles etc Bold, Serenade, Zimmer. My ears can't tell any difference between them. Hoping some audiophile in this thread could explain thx.
Zimmer is more balanced, I forget about the other ones. The app might not be working properly, try reinstalling/update to the latest software and see how it goes
What a shame. No volume control is such a deal breaker. Choice is now between nothing ear 2 (139€) and soundcore liberty 4 (100€) what would you recommend
@gemstone008 ended up going for the liberty 4. Got them at 90€ and the OP pro 2 without volume control kinda disappointed me. I also tried the nothing ear 2 for 2 days and the battery was pretty bad and the stems were really small for me to skip songs and change volume
Hi can someone please tell if I should get buds pro 2 or buds 3, the main priority is that sound quality should not be compromised and Spatial Audio should not be too echo-y.
So I was about to go with these buds, then I came across some people saying the Oppo Enco X2 has better sound quality. Also, I must have overlooked that OnePlus Buds don't have LDAC. I DO have a OnePlus phone, but I also use my earbuds with my PC at home. Other than that, I prefer the Enco X2 case because it has less branding. But the most important thing for me is the sound quality. Have you tried the Enco X2, if so do you still think Buds Pro 2 is the best for sound quality?
@@sathikali111 I went with Enco X2 seeing as I got no reply for this comment. From what I understand from that has more balanced natural sound signature. And the OnePlus buds are tuned more for bass, which many people like. And is actually better if you mainly listen to bass-heavy music. The Enco X2 supports LDAC which is the best quality Bluetooth codec on most devices. OnePlus buds doesn't support that. OnePlus 11 does have LHDC codec, which the Enco X2 supports, so the quality shouldn't be an issue if you only plan to use the buds with your OnePlus phone.
@@sathikali111 Also, I just noticed this guy has an affiliate link for this product. Which means it's not in his interest to promote a different product on this video lol And the link connects to mazon UK, which is pretty strange seeing as the reviewer is from Australia.
@@pickyaudio found it… bass/sub bass is def. Better than nothing ear but I feel the sound is more lively and bright on nothing ear… not sure if I should buy the sennheiser’s now to compare further what do you think?
oneplus buds pro 2 vs galaxy buds2 pro in ANC, which is stronger? i know you have a ranking list but curious to hear ur thoughts with comparing just the two of them
@pickyaudio: Huge fan. What is your recommendation for best stem style bud for working out? Stability (not falling out), is really what im looking for. Thank you!
Don’t buy these earbuds unless you have oneplus phone. There’s in ear detection that you can’t disable without oneplus phone. Feature is so picky, that buds pause audio randomly complaining that bud isn’t in your ear.
Is anyone else having issues with sound distortion? Hi hats frequently sound weird, almost like they are being played on a weaker bluetooth connection compared to everything else. I really notice it on this song: Anahera (Extended Mix): music.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9HGN9qC6ptI.html&feature=share Edit: It's probably low bitrate. Samsung doesn't support LHDC so it defaults to AAC. I will sadly be returning these.
I wish they would include the battery health engine on their earbuds as well to maximize the battery. They seem to lose alot of battery health in just 1 year.
