Are these headsets the best neckbank wireless headset at a price of less than 2 thousand rupees? Find out in this review.
Big drivers
Bullets wireless 2 and before that their design seems to be known as Bullets Wireless Z. If you have used the headsets of OnePlus earlier, then you can easily identify the brand by looking at the flexible neckband of the new model, the well-known size of the earpiece and the small cable going from the end of the neckband to the earpiece.
As mentioned earlier, some difference is also given in it. For example, you will see in-line remote and microphone deficiency in it. Volume, playback, voice assistant activation and pairing buttons are now fitted on the left module of the neckband. The earcrips are also slightly small. I felt its fit and user experience very similar to the old model, including its comfortable fit, noise isolation level, which was quite good. It has been rated an IP55 for dust and water rasistance.
The inner side of the left module has a USB Type C port for charging, while the right module is left vacant for the company’s logo. Like the old model, they can be turned on or off by separating or bringing them with the earpiece, which are connected to the magnet. For this reason, they can also be started by accidentally, such as when kept in purse or back-pack. They have to be pulled a little to separate them.
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 has large dynamic drivers of 12.4mm. For wireless connectivity, you get Bluetooth 5 with SBC and AAC Bluetooth codes support. OnePlus 6T and the subsequent OnePlus smartphones are quickly paired. Bullets Wireless Z had a Quick Switch feature, so that it could be switched quickly between 2 devices used recently, it is no longer given in Bullets Wireless Z2. In the sales package, you get three pears of silicone earcipps which come in different sizes. Also a small charging cable is also found.
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 also has a fast charging feature. It has been claimed that in a ten -minute charge, it delivers the battery level 70 percent. So much battery will be enough for about 20 hours of playback. I found that the earphones took 20 minutes to fully charge. Because of this, they currently become the fastest charged earphones.
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 has been asked to give 30 hours backup in single charge but with me it can run continuously for 20 hours on 60 percent of the volume. This will still be considered a good backup time. They prove more useful with fast charging.
More base than before
Drivers of 12.4mm given in the wearable make a big difference. This has improved the sound quality. Especially, there have been many changes in the Sonic Signature. Bullets Wireless Z2 now give a little more Panchi sound, as well as the level of clericity and details was also balanced, as the company introduced in Bullets Wireless Z in 2020.
A major advantage of large drivers is seen in the volume level, when the sound is very loud only when it goes to 50 percent of the volume. This means that I rarely had to go to the volume level of 80 percent, which is tolerated on many wireless headphones.
If you hear them in an environment where there is more noise, then it proves beneficial. With this, they also fulfill the lack of active noise cancellation. In Realme Buds Wireless 2, this feature is available by spending a little money. In the indoration, I did not have to take the volume up much. However, in the outdoor it was easily giving a good sound experience by pressing the outdoor voices. I enjoyed playing audibook and game through earphones while traveling.
On this, I heard the Great Divide of Velvetine and the aggressive sonic signature of OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 was being revealed completely. The fast, Panchi Beat of this sound track was heard quite powerful. Interestingly, the base felt more deep and grounded. However, it also caused some fatigue on high volumes.
I also heard Hocus Pocus of Focus on it, in which the complete control of the device appeared on the base. It was known from this that the mid range and highs on OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 were being maintained. Details’ level was liked a lot. The elements of the track were heard quite crisp.
Connectivity on OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 was stable and trustworthy for me. It worked without any hassle up to a distance of 3 meters from the source device. Their call quality also proved to be quite good in both indoor and outdoor situations. The microphone of the neckband also did a good job even in the noisy environment.
Verdict
Wireless audio technology is continuously improving. This means that now you can find a better sound product in 2 thousand or nearby price range which was not possible till a few years ago. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 gives better value for money at this price, but in this segment they do not affect as much as the original Bullets Wireless Z did in 2020. These are good earphones that give some better features like fast charging, great battery life in this price. But, here the price for the price will also depend on the thinking of the customer with which offer he goes.
Realme Buds Wireless 2 can be seen by spending a little more money, which is a great headset. It has LDAC Bluetooth codec and active noise cancellation. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of OnePlus and are looking at some reliable, which has good battery life, fasting charging and base strong sound, then you can go for OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2.
