Let’s check out more details about the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and 2R.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Specifications
OnePlus is setting new industry standards with the Buds Pro 2 which are the first earbuds with spatial audio stability onboard for Android users. The spatial audio gives listeners a world-class fully-immersive cinema-like surround-sound experience that is surreal. It even holds the accolade of being the first TWS to feature Google’s signature spatial audio function that it developed for Android 13. It ensures a multi-channel audio and multi-dimensional sound experience that is poles apart.
OnePlus has partnered with Dynaudio, a Danish loudspeaker manufacturer, to deliver 11mm+6mm MelodyBoost Dual Drivers that deliver fuller, bass, texture-heavy, and overall pristine vocals and sounds which is soothing for the users. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 carries an equalizer EQ tuned by Hans Zimmer of Justice League fame so that audiophiles can enjoy a full-fledged orchestral sound quality.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 packs in Smart Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) capable of eliminating ambient noise up to 48dB. It is certified by TUV. You can choose between a transparency mode or a full ANC mode to block ambient noise whatsoever. On the battery front, you get 39 hours of battery backup at a stretch. There’s Bluetooth 5.3 LE, dual connection, and LHDC 4.0 among other next-gen features on the earbuds to improve the sound experience.
What’s the difference between Buds Pro 2 and Buds Pro 2R, you may ask? Turns out the specifications are identical with a slight variant. There’s no wireless charging and head tracking is not available on the cheaper Buds Pro 2R which probably helped OnePlus reduce the price tag significantly.
