Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Very light and comfortable
  • Better battery and ANC than the first Buds Pro
  • Two-device pairing works well
  • Low lag with OnePlus phones in game mode
  • IP55 buds, IPX4 case
  • Classy matte design and solid case hinge
  • Comfortable for hours

Cons

  • Bassy, harsh, congested launch tuning with recessed mids
  • ANC weak on mid and high noise and dulls the sound
  • Muffled-sounding calls
  • Laggy on non-OnePlus phones
  • Dropouts and crackles on test unit
  • Lower ANC modes barely work
  • Treble gets crowded on busy tracks
  • GSMArenaFeb 2023

    Review of the Buds Pro 2 (same drivers and ANC, plus head tracking and wireless charging): only worth it at a steep discount.

  • MySmartPriceFeb 2023

    Review of the Buds Pro 2 twin: a good premium pick for OnePlus phone owners, let down by inconsistent ANC.
