OnePlus - Buds Z2

If only sound quality nothing beats oneplus z2 buds , same as imax

Oneplus budz z2 It works very well and i got it for free

So I've had the OnePlus Buds Z2, which I really liked (they just had kinda poor battery life -- even with ANC/transparency off). Ended up getting the 2nd gen OnePlus Buds Pro, cause I lost one of the earbuds from the Z2s & I really liked the arbor green color. I ended up really liking them and would even go as far as saying they *were* my favorite wireless earbuds for general use cases overall: 10-11 hr battery life per charge with ANC/transparency off, superb sound quality when paired to my OnePlus 8T & using LDHC, and multi-point + full feature support on iOS (just stuck with AAC only). As time has gone on, the only real thing I can complain about is the slow degradation of the batteries to where average battery life is now closer to about 8-9ish hrs (I've used them daily for like 2 years, so it makes sense). I do have to add that I originally decided to get the Buds Pro 2 *only* after I saw them on sale for around $100 (what can I say, I can be cheap lol). That being said, when I saw the new 4th Gen OnePlus Buds, I was kinda concerned it would be an overall downgrade due to them not being "Pro" models. That was absolutely *not* the case, and I'm even convinced that they wipe the floor with my (admittedly really good in their own right) Status Between 3ANCs. When tuned properly (or just however you prefer your sound) with the good ol' LDHC codec, they fire out bass like sonic cannons in your ears. And the mids/highs are equally as potent, making the soundstage overall feel damn near ethereal to me. You can truly notice the 2 separate drivers in each earbud, so much so that it's hard for me to grasp how they sound better (to me) than the 3 drivers in the Status earbuds I mentioned. And even better, the battery life is actually better than the Buds Pro 2s when they were new (w/o ANC or transparency I've clocked like 12-13 hrs, at least over the last few shifts I've had at work). They're also still exceptionally good using AAC on an iPhone (in this case a 16 PM), and as previously mentioned basically all of the settings/features aside from the Hi-Fi codec are available in the HeyMelody app for iOS. Anyway, I think OnePlus really hit the mark with these earbuds. $100 for something like...*this* feels unheard of. And I'm no stranger to audio/different models of TWS products either. One of my autistic fixations happens to be hoarding several different pairs of earbuds/headphones lol, sometimes just solely for one particular thing that a pair/headset happens to have & that'll be the only reason I ever end up using it. My 2nd gen AirPod Pros still have the crown for ANC/transparency (though the Galaxy Buds FE I also have come pretty close to the same transparency level), however just based on directly comparing the two on my 16 PM the OnePlus Buds 4 still have the better sound hands down. I will have to see about messing around with Apple Music to see how much of a difference there is with lossless audio on the AirPods vs the OnePlus ones paired with my 8T, so I can use them with LDHC to listen to lossless audio on Tidal. Because the entirety of my current experience has just been from listening to music on YT Music, and it unfortunately caps the bitrate to what's essentially AAC/256kbps under the best conditions iirc But yeah, TLDR the OnePlus Buds 4 are pretty damn great regardless of what phone you have, as long as it's not super old or too "low end". And what I mean by that is, they'll sound great as long as whatever android device you pair them with has the option to enable A2DP hardware offload (since they will only support AAC on non-OnePlus devices) & I'm sure most folks will agree that this setting improves AAC quality on android by quite a bit.

Solid noise cancelling. I love these.

I have the OnePlus Buds and they are good. I also have the Anker Soundcore Life P3i earbuds and I like them too

The Comfortability of one plus buds is another level. Even apple can't match it. Sometimes, i even forgot that they are in my ears.

I know right. I bought them as an upgrade to Gen 2. Honestly the Gen 2 is far far better and I am feeling so bad of spending extra money to get something so cheap. Even one plus buds I tried is better than this. Airpods 4 suck with flat sound

I have at home right now: Airpods because I sold my iPhone. Oneplus buds 3 Pro because I bought Oneplus 12. Today I bought Samsung Buds 3 Pro because I bought S24U yesterday. I will sell the Airpods because I don't own anything after 15+ years from Apple and feel right now that there will be nothing more from them. Oneplus 12 I read a lot about on Reddit and YT and it would be a mobile that was the best of all on the market (that's the impression I got) but in my opinion the reality is something else. I sold fairly new Oneplus 12 after 5 days and Oneplus Buds because they felt cheap and sounded bad. I have to say that the Oneplus Buds sounded much better with the S24U but still sold them because the sound I was not happy with. Today I tested and bought the Samsung Buds 3 Pro because they sound great together with the S24U. I have some much more expensive in-ear both closed and open back headphones here at home and can compare a bit, but the Samsung Buds feel solid and sound quite nice.

I second this one plus buds super unnai

I bought some OnePlus Buds for my partner as she is deaf in one ear and does not need a super expensive set, and they're actually really good. You need to download the app to get proper use of them, but once you do the noise cancelling and the ease of the touch system make them really high quality.

I can vouch for the OnePlus buds, safe pick!

OnePlus buds are better in sound quality than nothing. I have tried both

I don't really like OP buds. Ironically the best ones I've used are Pixel pro. I can walk around and talk with them and hear everything.
