To provide an immersive experience, OnePlus Nord Buds 2 reduces background noise through an instinctive Active Noise Cancellation feature with 25dB depth and a dual-core processor. OnePlus Nord buds use an AI algorithm, an advanced technology that allows users to make clear calls using a dual mic system that amplifies the human voice. To retain peace and silence, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 brings users Transparency Mode, which allows users to play music while still being able to hear outside voices and background noise.
Sound quality is further enhanced with a Master Equalization. By delivering several modes, including Balanced, Serenade, Bass and Bold, users can choose which on the sound quality they want highlighted. The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 was designed in collaboration with Dolby Atmos technology that amplifies its mobile phone speakers and Dirac Audio Tuner for smoother performance with higher fidelity, especially when connected to a OnePlus device.
Iconic Quality and Design
OnePlus Nord Buds 2 was inspired by cosmic elements meant to represent the impact and power of its strong bass. Sustainable materials were incorporated and due to its unique sparkling craft, the final finish of each case is different.
