It's not often that a set of even the best true wireless earbuds make me perform a dramatic double-take these days – much as I love a marked arriere-pensee. But the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are something else, at least on paper. And I think that, for the money, they could be the sleeper hit of the year.
First off, they boast a whopping 12.4mm driver per earpiece (yes, one-and-a-quarter-centimeters of driver) which is the biggest currently in the industry. Then, there's the 'bespoke back cavity' to allow the smooth passage of air and thus, sound, plus OnePlus's own N52 neodynium magnets – because you've got to get those drivers snapping back somehow.
