About this deal

Product images and display contents are illustrative only. Actual product and display contents may vary. 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. 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 has exceptional battery life. During my battery drain test, the headset ran continuously for 28.5 hours, which is very close to the 30 hours claimed by OnePlus. After a ten-minute charge, the headset went on for 20.4 hours, which is just over the 20 hours claimed by the company. With normal use, the headset should last well over a week on a single charge. Conclusion OnePlus seems at least partially aware of the flaws of its default tuning, which is why there are two presets dedicated to reducing the bass. The featured Bold preset turns down the bass a fair bit, which helps bring out the mid-range in the mix. Unfortunately, it doesn't do much to improve the highs, which are still too veiled. The Serenade turns the bass down even further, which then pushes the mids even further forward into the mix, causing the sound to have an inverted V-shape as the highs refuse to budge.

The new ANC mode on the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC also worked reasonably well. It does its best with low-frequency sounds, so things like the sound of an aircraft or bus engine, while also being decent for household sounds such as air conditioners and fans. It doesn't do so well with mid and high-frequency sounds but that's generally the domain for bigger and more expensive headphones.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 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. In terms of technical performance, Bullets Wireless Z2 have a moderate level of resolution and detail in the sound. This usually comes down to the choice of drivers used rather than the codec, although a higher bit rate codec couldn't have hurt. Imaging and soundstaging were unobjectionable and offered some space and directionality to the sound that made the overall presentation pleasant to listen to.The Bullets Wireless Z2 have relatively large 12.4mm drivers. They connect over Bluetooth 5.0 and support SBC and AAC codecs. On OnePlus phones, the earbud functions can be controlled directly through the Bluetooth settings without having to install a separate app. The Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC connect to your phone using the HeyMelody software, an app made by HeyTap that is a product of a Singapore-based company called Bravo Unicorn. It's the same app used by all OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme audio products and is available on Android and iOS. Finally, connectivity performance was stable with the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC and there were no observed issues with connection quality or stability. Battery and charging The Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC feature 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers. The earbuds support SBC and AAC codecs over a Bluetooth 5.2 connection.
