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

  • Pleasant out-of-the-box sound plus a 6-band EQ
  • Comfortable for long sessions
  • Head-tracked spatial audio, multipoint and a rich app
  • Battery life
  • IP55 buds
  • ANC strong and adapts to wind and surroundings
  • Very low latency even without game mode

Cons

  • Transparency mode only middling
  • No automatic pause when you start talking
  • Stem volume slider awkward to use
  • Matte finish picks up grime
  • Default maximum volume a bit low
  • Treble too bright, can sound harsh and tiring until EQ'd
  • Default tips slip out and the shell is chunky
  • SoundGuysOct 2024

    A cheaper alternative to big-name flagships with good sound, battery and features, but missing a few premium conveniences; global unit tested.

  • GSMArenaSep 2024

    Well worth considering at the price; flagship-grade ANC, low latency and good mics, held back by sharp treble.

  • BeebomAug 2024

    Feature-packed premium buds with balanced, wide-sounding audio, strong ANC and long battery; Nothing is the pick for more bass.

  • FoneArenaAug 2024

    A worthy successor with crisper sound, better calls, stronger ANC and longer battery; India unit tested.

  • TechRadarSep 2024

    Looks like a small update but sounds far more dynamic for the money; ANC and transparency are merely fine.

  • Android CentralAug 2024

    OnePlus's best-sounding buds by far, with a more balanced tune that suits most genres.

  • Tom's GuideAug 2024

    Makes a case for being among the best earbuds overall on sound and ANC, but battery and US pricing hold it back.
