- The Buds Pro 2 provide better sound quality than the first generation OnePlus Buds Pro[2].
Noise Cancellation
- The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have better active noise cancellation (ANC) performance compared to the OnePlus Buds Pro 2[3].- The Apple AirPods Pro 2 have the best ANC of the earbuds compared, ranking ahead of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2[2].
Comfort and Fit
- The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a comfortable fit for most ears, with a well-designed angled outer section[4].- However, some find the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro fit even better in the ear[3].
- Using foam ear tips can improve the seal and comfort of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, but they may not fit in the charging case with the thicker tips[3].
Other Features

- OnePlus provides controls for adjusting the ANC level[3].
