Product Information

The last model we tested with this design was incidentally the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 and now we have the updated version with ANC or active noise cancellation. At INR 2299, the India-exclusive Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC are only slightly more expensive than the Z2. That still makes them one of the cheapest wireless earbuds in the OnePlus range and the cheapest with ANC. Design and comfort The high-end is disappointing. There simply isn't enough energy at the top end to balance out the sound, which especially makes the overall sound signature dark, muddy, and lopsided. A 10-minute charge keeps your music going for 5 hours. (5 hours of battery life is measured based on combination of earbuds and the case, with ANC mode turned on. A single 10-minute charge of the earbuds themselves delivers 2 hours of playtime only. Charging and battery test results are based on internal OnePlus laboratory results (25° C or 77° F).

The tonality of the sound is similar to OnePlus' recent products, with neutral-leaning mids and treble and over-the-top bass.

That leaves audio quality and the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC is the latest victim of OnePlus' bad default audio tuning. Thankfully, it is easy to work around it and get a decent listening experience that is adequately good for the price.
