OnePlus Buds Pro 2 review: good-sounding earbuds with spatial audio for Android

Noise cancelling buds are some of the first to support Google's new surround sound feature

Finally, an Android rival to the AirPods Pro has arrived. OnePlus's new Buds Pro 2 noise cancelling earbuds are some of the first on the market to support Google's new spatial audio virtual surround sound tech, giving them a boost in a crowded market.

The earbuds cost 179 and compete directly with the similarly priced Pixel Buds Pro and 249 AirPods Pro, but with the added advantage of having an app for Android and iPhone so they are truly cross-platform.
