OnePlus Buds Pro 2 gets a hefty price cut – Unveiling premium features at a more affordable tag

OnePlus, the renowned Chinese smartphone manufacturer, has slashed the price of its premium true wireless earbuds, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by Rs 2,000 in India. 

Initially priced at Rs 11,999, these high-end earbuds are now available at an attractive rate of Rs 9,999. Boasting advanced features, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 introduces users to Dolby Atmos spatial audio, Dynaudio tuning, active noise cancellation, and call noise cancellation. 

The earbuds, available in Obsidian Black and Arbor Green, offer an immersive audio experience, making them stand out in the true wireless earbuds market.

Incorporating an 11mm dynamic driver and a 6mm planar diaphragm, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 guarantees superior sound quality. One of the notable features is its compatibility with Google’s signature spatial audio feature developed for Android 13, making it one of the first TWS earbuds to adopt this cutting-edge technology. 

Additionally, these Bluetooth version 5.3-equipped earbuds support both Android and iOS operating systems, ensuring broad compatibility.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 excels in noise cancellation with dual microphones for active noise cancellation and triple microphones for call noise cancellation. It introduces binaural low-latency Bluetooth transmission and a dedicated 54ms ultra-low latency mode, enhancing the gaming experience for users. 

Moreover, the earbuds are water and dust-resistant with an IPX4 rating, ensuring durability in various environments. The innovative cervical spine health monitoring feature adds a unique touch, compatible specifically with ColorOS 11.0-powered smartphones.

OnePlus sweetens the deal by offering an instant discount of Rs 1,000 on ICICI Bank credit cards. The earbuds assure a generous battery life of up to 39 hours, and the case supports wireless charging, adding convenience for users.

As OnePlus continues to make waves in 2024, the OnePlus Buds 3 emerges as a remarkable addition, bringing almost all the “pro” features at an affordable price of Rs 5,499. The company focuses on refining its offerings, evident in the Buds 3’s impressive feature set. Despite differences with the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, such as the absence of spatial audio support, the Buds 3 holds its own with dual dynamic drivers, Hi-Res Audio support via LHDC 5, 94ms low latency, and up to 49dB active noise cancellation. 

Features like touch volume control, IP55 rating for water and dust protection, and up to 44 hours of playback time make the Buds 3 a compelling choice in the true wireless earbuds landscape.

The Buds 3 showcases OnePlus’ commitment to a sleek design, borrowing elements from the Buds Pro 2 and Apple AirPods Pro. 

With a short-stemmed design, the earbuds exude a business-like aesthetic. Available in Splendid Blue and Metallic Grey, the buds showcase a polished look, proving that OnePlus combines style with substance. 

Despite the plastic construction, the earbuds maintain a premium appearance, making them a noteworthy contender in the affordable true wireless earbuds market.
