OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC | Wireless earbuds
FOR No fuss design, punchy sound, acceptable ANC
AGAINST Tuned for heavy bass, control buttons all too similar
A recipe that has worked since the beginning of time. OK, the beginning of wireless earbuds time, neckbands still hold a special place for many. They are the perfect hybrid of wired and wireless, allowing you to plug or unplug them whenever you want, without ever fearing losing the case, or one of the buds. The Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC could be from the year 2016, but they now have up to 45dB of active noise cancellation and that brings it up to speed with more 2023 requirements. Still the same mould as five years ago, the design hasn’t evolved beyond the magnetic clasping of the two earbuds in resting position. Elsewhere, there is the control panel pod on one side and the battery pod on the other. Basic controls like volume up/ down and track change, apart from the function key are all you get. ANC can be toggled on/off by long pressing the centre button, but the layout could’ve been better and you tend to hunt around with your fingertips trying to hit the right control more often than not.
IP55 certification ensures that sweat and light splashes won’t put it out of service and the quick charge feature will give you about 20 hours of charge in 10 minutes! Another advantage of the neckband variety of earbuds is the long battery life and the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC promise 20 hours with ANC and 28 hours without, making them solid value for money.
