The OnePlus Buds Z are comfortable, well-built truly wireless earbuds that deliver a bass-heavy sound profile, though this may be overwhelming for listeners preferring a neutral mix. While they offer a stable fit and IP55 resistance, their utility is limited by controls that only function with OnePlus phones and a 3.7-hour battery life that may be insufficient for long travel.
