Noise Cancelling: ANC

Practical, but not always available: Atkive Noise Cancelling. Both headphones come without Active Noise Cancelling (short: ANC). Thus, you have to do without active noise cancellation with the OnePlus Buds and the Soundcore Liberty Air 2.

How many microphones are there?

Let's move on to the topic of microphones, which also have an impact on voice quality and noise cancellation. Most headphones no longer relied on just one microphone, but several. Unlike the OnePlus Buds, the Soundcore Liberty Air 2* with 4 pieces per side offers more. The OnePlus Buds has 3 microphones built in per earbud.

Welche Bluetooth Version ist verbaut?

On the subject of Bluetooth, we don't have any differences between the OnePlus Buds and Soundcore Liberty Air 2. Both TWS headphones run via Bluetoot 5.0. In general, a newer version is always better. Here, the Bluetooth affects the quality of the transmission and the energy consumption.

Are there changeable attachments?

In contrast to the OnePlus Buds, the Soundcore Liberty Air 2* offers you changeable attachments for the ear studs. This gives you more wearing comfort and the headphones can be individually adjusted to the ears.

Are the headphones waterproof?

Both headphones from the comparison have IP certification. However, the degree of protection is different. The OnePlus Buds is certified with IPX4. With the Soundcore Liberty Air 2, you get IPX5 certification. However, an IP certification does not directly mean waterproof. Depending on the certification, the headphones are only water- or sweat-resistant. However, a higher number in the certification is generally better. With Bluetooth headphones there is also the problem that Bluetooth is disturbed by water. Thus, the use when swimming is only possible with special headphones.
