OnePlus Buds Z2

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.

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.

The OnePlus Buds Z2 may easily be some of the best value true wireless earbuds right now. For their affordable price of $99 the Buds Z2 offer solid ANC, good sound for casual listening with punchy bass, good build quality, and even water resistance.

In the same price bracket, $99 can get you TCL’s superb MoveAudio S600 and Nothing’s funky Ear 1, which both sound better our of the box in our opinion, and both offer ANC along with wireless charging. As such, it’s hard for us to recommend the Buds Z2 over these competitive offerings in this price point, though they're still a solid set of wireless buds. So let’s hope that OnePlus adds those missing software features sometime soon, and perhaps lowers the price a bit before the holidays, because the Buds Z2 are a fairly good foundation for more affordable buds.

The new OnePlus Buds Z2 include ANC and a host of extra features for a bargain basement price.
