Today brought the launch of a new pair of wireless earbuds from OnePlus that offer up to 38 hours of battery for the affordable price of $99/£99. Called the OnePlus Buds Z2 (the natural follow-up to the Buds Z), the big improvement is the addition of Active-Noise-Cancelation (ANC).
Besides sporting 11mm dynamic drivers, the OnePlus Buds Z2 also feature Bluetooth 5.2 with a 10m range, as well as IP55 sweat resistance, touch controls, and the ability to achieve five hours of usage from a 10-minute charge. A full 0-100% charge will take up to 90-minutes, with the case holding 27 hours of charge when using the 40dB ANC.
You can also wear a single bud at a time if you are multitasking with mono and stereo calls. Each bud has three MEMS microphones for feedback, feedforward, and beamforming) that work in tandem to ensure your voice is heard loud and clear, even in busy environments.
“The OnePlus Buds Z2 are an important milestone for OnePlus’s range of portable audio products,” said Pete Lau, Founder of OnePlus. “OnePlus Buds Z2 deliver exceptional active noise cancellation technology, a quality audio experience, and exceptional battery life at a price point that’s more accessible than ever before.”
The OnePlus Buds Z2 earbuds go on sale in black or white and cost $99/£99 on December 20th, with US buyers needing to sign up to the newly launched Red Cable Club to claim a set from the first batch of units.
