OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC Review: Less noise, more groove! Know price, specs, pros & cons

These are the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC. They're the noise-cancelling siblings of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 from last year, and they're also pretty wallet-friendly at just 2, 299 Rupees. Today, we're diving into the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC, and whether you should grab them or not! But before I get started, make sure to subscribe, and if you end up liking this video, give it a thumbs up as well. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC Design and Utility The headset weighs in at 29.2g, making it pretty light, and there's a wire connecting the earbuds to the neckband. The silicone band is flexible and smooth, fitting comfortably around the neck. It also stays in place during workouts, which isn't always the case with regular wireless earbuds. The back of the earbuds is magnetic, so they snap together when not in use. They also auto-connect or disconnect whatever you're listening to. To pause, just snap the buds together; to play, separate them. The right side has a USB Type-C port, an LED, and all the buttons you need, including volume, power, ANC, and a function button for pairing and switching devices. And they're IP55 rated, so they can handle a bit of sweat during your runs or gym sessions. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC Connectivity and Controls The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC feature Bluetooth 5.2, so it's good to go with both Android and iOS devices. Moreover, pairing these earbuds to your phone is super quick. Just hold down the multi-function button for a bit and you're in pairing mode. The best part is that you can connect to two devices and hop between them seamlessly with a double-press of the function button. This is something that you don't often get to see at this price point. However, if there's one area that could see some improvement, it'd be the control buttons on the neckband. They're kinda tricky to use as they're tucked right under my collar, making it a guessing game to find the right button. Sure, I can play, pause, skip, and take calls directly from the earphones, but finding those buttons is bit of a challenge. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC Audio and Call quality These earbuds come with 12.4mm dynamic drivers, just like the original OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2. They deliver vibrant mids, clear highs, and solid bass. And if you want more bass then you can easily switch to bass mode in the Hey Melody app. There are also Balanced and Bold Serenade modes if you're into more subtle vibes. Apart from that, OnePlus claims they've got anti-distortion tech to keep things clear even at high volumes, and I found that to be true - It was even good at around 60-70% volume. One thing to note is that they don't have the LDAC Hi-Res audio codec, just AAC. But the active noise cancellation is pretty spot on, especially in crowded areas. It really dialed down the metro noise, letting me dive deep into my tunes. Calls sound great too, thanks to a 3-mic AI system that keeps my voice clear, even in busy places like markets. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC Battery Life OnePlus says the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC can jam for 28 hours straight. In my experience, it was a tad less, but that's probably because I crank up the volume more than most. If you're a bit more chill with your volume, you might get closer to that 28-hour mark. The band also supports fast charging, which offers a 20 hours of music playback with just 10 minutes of charging. That's not bad at all. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC Verdict All-in all, the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC are a solid addition to the Bullets Wireless Z lineup. You get dependable ANC, the ability to pair with two devices, decent battery life, and quick charging—all without breaking the bank. They've also got a sleek look, but those control button could have been better placed. Now, in this world of true wireless earbuds, you might wonder about the whole neckband style. Well, It's really about what you're into. If you can't anything on your neck, then this might not be your cup of tea But if you're after something that's always on you and stays put during a workout, the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC could be right up your alley.
