In this blog, we are checking out these earbuds in detail and sharing our first impressions of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R while analysing its features and performance.

The earbuds have an in-ear style design, which is curved and fits in the ear easily. We loved the fact that these are compact and extremely lightweight too. So, you won't feel them even after using them for a long time at a stretch. The in-ear style fit gives you a really cosy fit, which gives that perfect isolation effect as well.

OnePlus has packed two options of ear tips inside the box, so choose according to your ear size.

With two microphones per earbud, the earbuds effectively filter out background noise and focus on capturing your voice clearly. This ensures that your voice comes through loud and clear during phone calls. However, the quality could have been better in noisy environments such as outdoors.
