Light and comfortable; some reviewers got sore

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Warm, smooth vocals; presets and BassWave let you shape it
  • Over 6 h with ANC in their run-down test
  • Small, light and fine for long sessions
  • Mic suppresses background noise well
  • Stable connection, low latency on OnePlus phones
  • Bass-led sound that still keeps vocals in view
  • ANC handles drilling and hammering decently for the money

Cons

  • Default tuning is boomy, boxed-in and short on detail
  • Noise cancelling is weak, mostly on low rumble
  • No volume gestures, no in-ear detection
  • Callers hear a slightly metallic voice
  • Narrow soundstage muddles busy tracks
  • Calls lose clarity; had to repeat things
  • Wide case is awkward in a pocket
  • GSMArenaApr 2023

    A modest step up from the first Nord Buds; a decent entry-level pair, better value in India where the price gap is small.

  • 91mobilesApr 2023

    An easy pick for anyone wanting bassy ANC earbuds on a small budget. Indian review.

  • DigitApr 2023

    A worthwhile upgrade for bass fans thanks to ANC and better battery, though the sound itself barely changed. Indian review.

  • Tech AdvisorApr 2023

    Decent sound, useful ANC and long battery, though several extras only work with OnePlus phones. Tested global version.

  • Android PoliceApr 2023

    Strong value at its price; sound punches above its class, but no aptX or multipoint. Tested global version.
