The global launch of OnePlus will take place tomorrow (Feb. 7). OnePlus 11 5G, its latest flagship, will be launched at this event, a month after its Chinese launch. OnePlus 11R smartphone and OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will also be available globally.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s expected European price has already been reported. We are now bringing you the leaked price for these earbuds in the Indian market. OnePlus Buds Pro 2 listing screenshot shared on Twitter by a Twitterati. In India, the premium earbuds are expected to cost Rs.13,999. In comparison, the OnePlus Buds Pro was launched in 2021 for Rs.9,999.
Since the Indian rupee has weakened since 2021, the price is significantly higher than the previous generation. While this news does not disappoint many fans, who had hoped the earphones would launch near the Chinese price of RMB 899 (~₹10,900). OnePlus has slashed the price of the OnePlus Buds Pro by Rs.1000 ahead of the launch of its successor in India, so this might be a good time to grab one.
Specs:
A two-tone finish on the buds and a matte charging case distinguish the Buds Pro 2 from last year’s Buds Pro. It is the same 11mm dynamic driver and 6mm planar diaphragm driver used in the earbuds. With Bluetooth 5.3 support and ANC, these earphones should drown out up to 48 dB of outside noise. For optimal voice pickup and noise cancellation, each earbud has three microphones.
With a future software update, Buds Pro 2 will support the LHDC 5.0 audio codec for high-res audio streaming over Bluetooth. They currently support AAC, SBC, and LC3 audio codecs at launch. There are some neat features for ColorOS 11 devices like posture monitoring and cervical spine pressure monitoring, as well as a 54 ms low latency gaming mode. The new Oppo and OnePlus devices will also support dual connections and easy switching between them.
With their charging case off, OnePlus claims the Buds Pro 2 can last up to 39 hours. Charging can be done wirelessly or wired via a USB-C charger.
