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

  • Comfortable for long wear
  • Low lag with low-latency mode
  • Stable connection
  • Calls acceptable with good mic noise reduction
  • IP55
  • Comfortable fit
  • Enjoyable, bass-rich sound

Cons

  • Boomy, veiled sound lacking detail
  • One side sometimes drifted in volume
  • No ANC, transparency or wear detection
  • Awkward pairing without a case button
  • Bare-bones app
  • Bass can be too much for some genres
  • No pairing button or wear detection
  • GSMArenaJul 2023

    Hard to recommend over the Nord Buds 2 or cheaper rivals; needs a much lower price for what it offers.

  • 91mobilesJul 2023

    A compelling buy for bass lovers, especially OnePlus phone owners, with good battery and design.

  • FoneArenaJul 2023

    A good step up from the original Nord Buds for battery, calls and build; the Nord Buds 2 adds ANC for a bit more.

  • SmartprixJul 2023

    A decent everyday budget pick if you don't need ANC or two-device connection.
