Chinese consumer electronics brand OnePlus on Monday revealed the launch date for its upcoming truly wireless earphones Buds Pro 2.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are developed in collaboration with Google to support spatial audio for an immersive multi-dimensional experience.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2: Features

Equipped with Google’s signature spatial audio feature developed for Android 13, the wireless earbuds support sound output that comes from a fixed position regardless of movement, coupled with a 3D audio experience. Powered by OnePlus’ spatial rendering algorithm and IMU sensor, the audio quality is said to be backed by added stability. Besides, dedicated app expansions will also enable other applications to use the technology.

Using Android’s Fast Pair feature, the earbuds will give faster connectivity to nearby Android devices in one tap. With Android’s audio-switching feature, the Buds Pro 2 will be able to connect to two Android devices simultaneously. They would also allow a smooth transition between the connected devices without the need to change Bluetooth settings.

Additionally, considering the compatibility of most audio sources in the market, OnePlus will be offering a stereo up-mixing algorithm based on the multi-dimensional sound from mainstream audio and video apps.
