OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Review: Putting AirPods Pro 2 on Notice…

OnePlus took the wraps off their new phone, and I have a series of videos out now to see how the OnePlus 11 is performing and competing.

OnePlus ALSO revealed their new true wireless OnePlus Buds Pro 2, and I can share some thoughts on using them WITH the OnePlus 11!

I don’t feel OnePlus really gets enough credit for making nice accessories.

Sure, the watch was a bit of a bust, but chargers, cases, and audio gear have generally been top tier. As an ecosystem of products, OnePlus punches higher than the coverage they usually receive.

Specifically audio gear, I’ve genuinely been pleased with OP earbuds going all the way back to their dual driver neckband.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 carry on this tradition, with fantastic tech features, very good audio quality, and a terrific performance for the price. Continue reading “OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Review: Putting AirPods Pro 2 on Notice…”

SOUNDPEATS Opera 03 True Wireless Earbuds Review: Audiophile on a Budget?

Can we satisfy “audiophile” on a wallet friendly budget?

Soundpeats is a solid consumer earbud brand, and I’ve had positive experiences covering their products in the past.

Their new earbud is an interesting focus for the company. The Opera series of buds are wrapping up crowd funding campaigns, and there’s a LOT of talk about audio quality and hi-res fidelity. Previous “Pro” and premium earbuds from Soundpeats have retailed as high as $120, but their main focus is on a $40-$60 consumer range.

The Opera aims to bring a bit more of the premium polish to a slightly lower cost. Aiming for an $80 MSRP (currently on early bird for $49), the Opera 3 are an interesting experiment.

A part of my conclusion at the top of this article:

We should be really excited to see how previously ‘exotic’ audio tech is now becoming more mainstream and affordable. Continue reading “SOUNDPEATS Opera 03 True Wireless Earbuds Review: Audiophile on a Budget?”
