OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 neckband has been priced at ₹2,299, and comes with active noise cancellation
With a plethora of true wireless earbuds flooding the market, OnePlus keeps its neckband series alive and competitive with consistent improvements. Recently, the company launched the Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC neckband, succeeding last year’s Bullets Wireless Z2. At ₹2,299, and with active noise cancellation, it will be interesting to see how the new neckband faces off against wireless headsets in the same range.
The neckband boasts a notably lightweight and user-friendly design. A small, light wire connects the earbuds to the neckband, which is itself is made of flexible silicone, contributing to the lightweight and smooth-textured experience.
The headset comes with a magnetic feature on the back, allowing the earbuds to snap together when not in use. This feature also triggers automatic connection or disconnection, providing a simple way to pause and resume playback.
Both earbuds are equipped with multiple microphones serving a dual purpose; they contribute to both Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) during voice calls, resulting in improved audio quality and clearer conversations.

On the right side, you’ll find a USB Type-C charging port, conveniently left uncovered by a flap. Next to it is an LED indicator providing charging status information. The control buttons are also situated on this side, including a power/multi-function button between the volume adjustment buttons, as well as a dedicated ANC button. An additional function button serves various purposes, such as pairing, factory reset, and device switching.
The headset houses a sizable 220mAh battery that allows for prolonged usage. With an IP55 rating, it’s designed to withstand light rain and sweat (but not submersion in water.) This makes it a reliable choice for everyday activities.
