Alright everyone , please read this review carefully as it's 6 july 2025 today and on the 23rd of August 2025 , i will have spent 2 years using these awesome and marvellous earbuds... These have been 2 years of extreme , rigorous and very very careless usage and these earphones are still in prime condition, needless to add I'm an avid consumer of music ,l wear my earbuds almost all day long , I've worn them in the gym , while running , they've seen a lot of sweat , a lot of earwax , most of the days ,i fall asleep while wearing them and get up with them either under them or on the floor, I've been very very merciless with these earbuds , I have not used them ,I have exploited them, after allll of this , they're still in prime condition, the mic on these works extremely well, they charge pretty quickly , the box takes a little longer to get fully charged but it lasts for a long time , call quality, voice quality , everything is awesome , their response to your touch is also very durable and awesome , it happens ever so oftent that I'm in the gym and my phone is drenched in sweat and it's screen starts malfunctioning and as a result I can't take calls , but thanks to these earphones , even after all the sweat and moisture they respond to my touch instantly amd I'm able to take calls , in the gym, while driving, 2 wheelers , 4 wheelers , everything...you know I lost their charging box somewhere , so I purchased another set of the same earphones just for the box and im still using the old earbuds with the new box , I have dropped them quite roughly several times , one or two times I have thrown them away because I was angry due to some reason and they're still going one without an ounce of reduction in quality , this is why I'm calling them marvellous... After such rough and extreme usage , i just can't find any big noticable flaw in them.... But yes , I'll like to add that everything depreciates with time , after 2 years of usage , their batter life isn't as good as when they were new , but the sound quality ,the durability, it's still 90% of how it was when they were new...There may be some people who are extra extra critical and would say they give 4.6 to music , 3. Blah blah blah to sound , to bass , don't bother listening to nerds and wannabe tech gurus , go for it , best in class , marvel of engineering , this is gonna be one of those few purchases that youre gonna be proud of , over and out...

one of the best product bought buy me, in the starting i only had issue with the fitting of the earbuds in my ear as they were falling of but soon after they started fitting perfectly the sound quality is quite decent and battery life is also quite good overall this product is worth to buy and lives upto its expectation.

The build quality is good of the case and the buds. The case takes some time to charge. The buds charge quickly. I noticed that the right earbud usually drops 10% lower first than the left earbud when I'm using them. Remember to remove the plastic stickers inside the case or the buds won't charge. The battery backup is excellent so far, cant say exactly how many hours I get of use from them but very happy with them. I got the deep grey coloured ones. I get very good range on these, more than 5-meters but I noticed it depends on the device, old devices don't give such long range. The mic is good sounding, others can hear me fine when calling, online or on network calls. The mic won't be of that high use in a heavily packed mumbai local train setting though, the ENC feature is effective but not like ANC quality. The tap controls work fine too and each earbud can be assigned the various tap functions or even disabled. For instance I have the right earbud set to switch between two devices by long press hold. There is a noticeable sound that can be heard when the tap is acknowledged by the device. These come with three different size ear tips/cushions. I found the factory fitted one comfortable enough to not bother trying the others. The sound profile of these tws is centered around extra bass. I have set the media output to Standard (SBC) which helps lower the overall smoothness and adjust to my liking with the Custom EQ settings. Dolby atmos isn't required to be activated I feel, I liked the sound of the buds without it on. I am used to Realme Buds 2 wired earphones. I find those very comfortable to wear. I used to believe those were bass heavy but these buds 2r definitely have more bass than those. The sound in comparison sounds more spread out/separation in stereo with the wired realme buds 2. The oneplus 2r stereo sound is not too wide as wired earphones but apparently thats a wireless audio thing depending on budget earbuds. Overall I am happy with the purchase but should have brought the 3r or 3pro for more controlled bass. I choose the 2r because the reviews on the 3r had complaints regarding ear fitting and quick rust formation on pin contacts. Anyways, lets see how these last in my usage, I will update the review if any issues are found. Edit: Theres too much bass/sub bass present even with the bluetooth EQ set to -6dB for the lower bands. Also adding Wavelet app has been useful in tailoring the overall eq but still not able to get the baked in bass to a point where it doesn't make overall sound boring. What did help was changing the eartips to a different size. Apparently the silicone tips on any earbuds are not just about in-ear fitting but affect the sound of the earbuds overall, tighter seal in the ear gives more bass and less treble. I would suggest getting the oppo enco buds if playback sound quality is primary goal, I should have researched a bit more about these before buying. Lets see how long before any battery issues appear then I will update the review.

Good , but one stopped working after few months. Causes no pain to the ears.

Best product , I love these buds
