OnePlus Buds Ace 2 Now Available in China

Now listed in OPPO’s official eCommerce channel, the OnePlus Buds Ace 2 builds on its predecessor with thoughtful upgrades. At first glance, it might seem like just another incremental upgrade of earbuds, but closer inspection shows some key changes worth noting.

One of the first is the 12.4mm dynamic drivers that are said to provide better bass response, thanks to the BassWave 2.0 technology.

This lets users adjust bass levels across 10 settings, which then adds flexibility for those who switch between genres like podcasts, EDM, or classical tracks from time to time. Compared to the previous model, the audio is said to feel more balanced and less compressed.

For those of you who use earbuds for gaming or video calls, the addition of 3D spatial audio is a welcome improvement. Pair that with an ultra-low latency of 47ms, and you get smoother performance for gaming without laggy audio.

These aren’t groundbreaking specs but are meaningful improvements over the first-gen model.

The battery life is another area that’s seen a practical upgrade.

With up to 43 hours of total playback (with ANC off) and 11 hours from a quick 10-minute charge, the Buds Ace 2 is well-suited for long days.

The IP55 dust and water resistance adds some long-needed durability for workouts or occasional exposure to the elements.

Meanwhile, the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been fine-tuned as well with a dual-microphone setup for better call clarity and less background noise. It’s not on par with flagship earbuds, but it’s a step up for its category.
