Of course, a pair of earbuds would be useless if they did not deliver at least decent audio quality, and if the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 and their 12.4mm dynamic audio drivers are anything like the first generation, then you should expect just that. Now, they probably won’t blow you away by any stretch of the imagination, but for that price range, they should be one of the better options out there.
A few other quirks and features of OnePlus’ next affordable earbuds include an IP55 rating for minimal dust and water resistance (so don’t go around swimming with these things), as well as dual microphones and dedicated AI for background noise reduction during calls. And, naturally, users will also have control of what they are playing via the touch-sensitive stems, which they can also use to accept or reject incoming calls.
Keep in mind that an FCC listing, even though it can sometimes mean an official release date is approaching, does not always serve as an accurate sign of that, so we might end up getting the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 around the beginning of August this year too.
