Now available on OPPO’s official eCommerce channel, the OnePlus Buds Ace 2 brings some thoughtful upgrades to its predecessor. At first glance, it might seem like just another minor refresh, but a closer look reveals a few standout changes worth noting.
One of the standout features is the upgraded 12.4mm dynamic drivers, designed to deliver improved bass performance with the help of BassWave 2.0 technology.
Users can fine-tune the bass across 10 different settings, offering flexibility for switching between genres like podcasts, EDM, or classical music. Compared to its predecessor, the audio quality is reportedly more balanced and less compressed, enhancing the overall listening experience.
If you’re into gaming or need reliable earbuds for video calls, the addition of 3D spatial audio is a great touch. Combined with an ultra-low 47ms latency, the Buds Ace 2 ensures smoother audio performance without lag—a definite plus for gamers.
While these aren’t groundbreaking specs, they’re meaningful improvements over the first-gen model.
Battery life has also received a practical boost. You’ll get up to 43 hours of total playback with ANC off, and just 10 minutes of charging gives you 11 hours of use—perfect for long days on the go.
Durability has improved as well, with IP55 dust and water resistance making these earbuds better suited for workouts or occasional exposure to the elements.
The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been refined, featuring a dual-microphone setup that delivers clearer calls and reduces background noise. While it’s not flagship-level ANC, it’s a solid step up for its price point.
Speaking of price, the OnePlus Buds Ace 2 is available in China for CNY 169 (~PHP 1,399) via OPPO’s webstore.
