OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will launch globally on February 7th. OnePlus’ flagship True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earphones will be launched alongside the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 11R 5G at the Cloud 11 event in India and other markets. OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is already available in stores in China. The TWS earbuds will soon be available worldwide with the same specs and features. Ahead of the official launch, a new leak has unveiled the price details of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2.
Tipster Snoopy Tech revealed that the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will be launched in Europe for EUR 179 (approx. Rs. 15,900). Some markets in Europe will see an introductory price of EUR 219 (approx. Rs. 19,400). The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is up to date accessible in China for 899 CNY (about Rs. 10,900). Smartphones and electronic items are more expensive in Europe due to local taxes. Therefore, we can expect the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 India price to be a bit lower.
The OnePlus Buds Pro (review) was launched in India for Rs 9,990. However, considering the upgrades, the rising cost of components, and the weakening of the rupee against the US dollar, we can expect the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 to cost a little more than its predecessor.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 has the same design as the original model. It comes with a stem design with a two tone finish. The earbuds still feature silicone eartips and offer active noise cancellation (ANC) support up to 48dB. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 also support Spatial Audio, which is also found in the higher-end Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) (review).
The earbuds each have three microphones with an AI noise-cancellation feature. Users can control music playback or take calls with touch controls on the stick. The earbuds also support Bluetooth v5.3. In addition, multiple audio codecs such as AAC, SBC, LHDC and LC3 are supported. The company has partnered with Dynaudio to tune the sound of the earbuds.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is said to offer up to 39 hours of battery life. The charging case contains a 520mAh battery and supports fast charging and wireless charging. The earphones are also waterproof and dustproof according to IP55.
