So as for the presentation of retail packaging is concerned, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 comes in a black and blue box. The retail packaging has loud product branding on top and regular details printed at the back. On an immediate look, the box is pretty lightweight as one would expect. Inside the box, you obviously get the buds nicely tucked in the case right on the top. Apart from the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 earbuds and the charging case, in-the-box content further includes silicon ear tips x 3 (S, M, L), USB Type-C charging cable, a user guide, Nord emoji stickers and the safety and warranty card, So, once you take out the contents, the first thing that grabs attention in obviously the earbuds and the case design. So, let’s get to know more about the design in our next segment. OnePlus Nord Buds 2 Design and Comfort The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 comes with a pillbox-shaped charging case with soft curvy corners that flaunts the OnePlus branding on the top. We had the grey colour variant and on first look, they might appear white but these are actually light grey in colour. Nord Buds 2 are stem-style earbuds with fat stems. As for the design, these buds got a multi-functional button for touch controls and the inside is nice and clean. The mics on both buds can be seen clearly. As for the charging case, this is actually the Lightning White colour variant where we get silver on the top cover and white on the case body. There is a little LED on the front, OnePlus branding on top, a USB Type-C charging slot on the back and there's also a Bluetooth pairing button next to the charging slot as well. The buds are tucked neatly inside and we tried to test the magnet strength to know how strongly the case actually holds the buds. We can confidently say the magnet strength is excellent as no movement was observed in the minimum to maximum shake test. As for the comfort of the buds, we found the fit particularly good and once you find the right tips for your ear the seal even works better. Passive noise cancellation also enhances with the right bud size. Overall, we could listen to them for three to four hours at a stretch without any fatigue and we definitely don't think you should have a problem with fit either. The buds also get an IP55 rating which means these are water-resistant and sweat resistant just in case you plan on wearing them while you're exercising. OnePlus Nord Buds 2 Sound Quality Let's talk about the sound quality. Inside you get 12.4-millimetre drivers. As per OnePlus’s claim, this is the biggest driver unit for in-ear earbuds in the industry. You get the support for Bluetooth AAC codec and there is no high-res codec support in these. This is something that can be compromised considering these are budget earbuds. The sound has an extremely u-shaped sound signature with a lot of emphasis on the low end which is the bass and also the treble. Now this kind of sound tuning is something that most people like and it can be easily recognised for its universal massy sound tuning. It's perfect for genres of music such as Rock, Hip-hop, ADM and of course Bollywood. The problem with such a sound signature is that the low end is kind of bloated and therefore, it tends to mask the mids. The other thing that we really liked is how clean these earbuds sound. There are so many True Wireless Earbuds in this under Rs 3000 rupee price category that sounds really muddy but these have decent sound staging and decent Imaging as well. The instrument separation is fairly good, especially in tough tracks. Now, if you feel certain aspects of sound such as the Bass or the Treble a little too much for your taste, you can tweak that from the settings as well. The EQ settings that are available with the app can be customised. While the equalizer is not too detailed but at least you have the option to tweak it and bring the Bass down or bring the Treble down slightly. OnePlus Nord Buds 2 - Active Noise Cancellation Let’s talk about the Active Noise Cancellation feature of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2. Despite the fact that it only cuts out up to 25 DB of environmental sound, these are definitely not too bad and that's also because we got really good passive noise cancellation with the right size ear tips. So, with the ANC feature along with the passive noise cancellation, the quality of noise cancellation that happens is pretty decent. However, the Transparency Mode sounds kind of average when it tries to amplify the sound from the environment. It kind of sounds robotic, an aspect that we personally didn’t appreciate but again, this can be entirely a personal choice. OnePlus Nord Buds 2 Connectivity and Controls OnePlus Nord Buds 2 supports Bluetooth v5.3 protocol. Now if you're wondering about fast pairing then there is only OnePlus Fast Pair option available with these. You also do not get Google's Fast Pair option. So, for all you other Android phone users, you basically cannot get instant pairing with these. The flat side of the Nord Buds 2 stem houses the touch controls and since they are flat it's very easy to register the touch and to know for sure. Basically, as a user, you get that quick feeling that you've actually registered the command. The main controls include - Single tap - plays or pauses the music Double tap - changes the song Long press - changes the ANC or transfer potency mode depending on what you've set Longer press - switches to the other device that is connected So these buds basically remember the previously connected device and we tried it with an Android phone and MacBook, it worked seamlessly with any noticeable problem. What is noticeably missing is automatic wear detection. So while using these, you do not get the automatic Play or Pause feature when you take these out of your ear or put them back on again. However, again this is not something that we expect from many budget earbuds in this price category, so overall it is something we can ignore. OnePlus Nord Buds 2 Battery Life Now, OnePlus has actually upgraded the quality of Nord Buds 2 if we compare them with the predecessor. With the ANC turned off, you get almost seven hours from the buds but you get almost 36 hours from the case. And with ANC turned On, you get almost five hours from the buds and as much as 27 hours from the case. Now, overall, that's good enough for most use cases and also considering the price segment, this is definitely impressive. Verdict It seems like the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 comes with some impressive features, including active noise cancellation of up to 25dB, a 12.4mm driver unit which is the biggest in the in-ear earbuds industry, and the BassWave bass enhancement algorithm for improved bass quality. The earbuds also have three unique audio profiles - Balance, Vocal, and Transparent - that users can choose from to optimize their listening experience. Additionally, the earbuds can provide up to 36 hours of non-stop music on a single charge and have an IP55 sweat and water resistance rating, making them suitable for workouts and outdoor activities. The earbuds also feature a built-in Dirac Audio Tuner for precise sound tuning and an individual rear cavity design for improved comfort and fit. Overall, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 seems to be a compelling choice for those looking for a pair of budget-friendly high-quality earbuds with a range of useful features.
