To ensure the normal use of your earbuds, update your Wireless Earphones (ColorOS 11 or later, OxygenOS 12 or later), OnePlus Buds (OOS 11), or HeyMelody (Android 7.0 or later, iOS 13.2 or later) app to the latest version using your local app store. Enabling automatic updates is recommended to ensure you can use the latest software and functions. Latency can be reduced to as low as 94 ms when paired with select OnePlus phone devices, with Pro Gaming mode turned on. The headphones are certificated for IP55 dust and water resistant. Please avoid using the headphones during strenuous exercise or while in humid environments. Water damage is not covered under warranty. Sweat resistance follows the same principle as water resistance because the headphones can help prevent liquid, including sweat, from entering inside. We also applied special processing to the innards in prep to enhance sweat resistance capability. However, sweat resistance capability will decrease with long-term use. Sweat damage is not covered under warranty. Based on firmware updates to the OnePlus Buds Z2, the above actions may be slightly modified, and the actual OTA content may be different from that specified.

With a OnePlus 10 Pro, the phone would frequently lose sync between audio and video while watching YouTube videos, and it would take several seconds before the two synced again. This is a shame because the mid-range is actually quite good. Vocals have a smooth and mellow timbre that's very pleasing to listen to. Instruments have a similarly pleasant tonality to them, with everything from the piano to the guitar coming through quite well. The Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC have mediocre audio quality by default. The sound is the same overwhelming bass-heavy assault that has now become the OnePlus house sound. The earphone is certificated for IP55 dust and water resistant.

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

OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 has 16 hours of talk time and with a standby time of 80 hours on a single charge. Endurance test data is based on OnePlus laboratory tests conducted at 50% volume. Specific endurance performance will vary based on actual conditions and is affected by volume, output source, environmental interference, product features, software versions and usage habits. What's disappointing, though, is the transparency mode, which sounds muffled and not particularly transparent. It's fine if you just want to walk around without completely being oblivious to your surroundings but I still found it better to just unplug the earbuds to hear better. In my testing, the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC lasted for 19 hours and 38 minutes with ANC enabled and 27 hours and 7 minutes with ANC disabled. After a 10-minute charge, the earbuds played for 14 hours and 36 minutes with ANC enabled and 20 hours and 21 minutes with ANC disabled. The Bullets Wireless Z2 get sufficiently loud, with the maximum volume being uncomfortable to listen to on all but the quietest of recordings.

Bigger drivers on the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2

The build quality and finish of the headset is very good. The rubber feels pliant and durable, and the plastics all have a quality feel. The rubber for the cables is also striated. The headset is also IP55 rated, so it can survive being splashed with water. Comfort The Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC does not have a lot of features so options are limited here. You can switch between ANC on, off, and transparency mode. You can flip between the four EQ presets and also make your own. And finally, you can do very basic customizations of the physical switches.
