The strongest evidence for long per-charge listening among these picks: SoundGuys measured 8 hours 44 minutes, and Scarbir reported about eight hours with ANC enabled. Both reviews rate it highly for its overall feature set, but Scarbir found the rounded, larger ear tips can create pressure over extended wear.

SoundGuys measured 8 hours 44 minutes and gave it an 8.4/10, praising comfort, ANC, and its feature-rich app. Scarbir's five-star review likewise highlights long ANC-on listening and useful customization. The experience is not unanimous on fit: Scarbir found the round, larger-than-average tips can press on the ears, while SoundGuys found it comfortable for hours. SoundGuys also noted that ANC affects sound quality and that microphones struggle in noisy surroundings.

SoundGuys measured 9 hours 18 minutes with ANC on, and Scarbir also describes more than eight hours of ANC-on listening. Both reviews value the battery and extensive Soundcore app, including EQ and control customization. Their listening impressions are less flattering: both note very prominent bass, and SoundGuys reports a loose fit, sluggish touch response, and weak call quality. Scarbir found the fit snug, so fit comfort appears to depend on the listener.

SoundGuys' one-week hands-on review gave the Buds Pro 2 an 8.1/10, praising the ANC, comfort, Nothing X app, and tactile Smart Dial on the case. Its battery test reached roughly 6 hours 15 minutes with ANC enabled, so it trails the longer-running alternatives here. The reviewer also found the default tuning bass-heavy and noted the lack of true multipoint, despite dual-device pairing.

Scarbir's four-star review found the buds comfortable for hours, with effective ANC and around 5.5 hours of ANC-on use; the reviewer estimated about nine hours with ANC off, below OnePlus's 12-hour claim. PCMag also praised the comfortable fit and rich, natural sound, but rated them 3.5/5 and said competitors last longer. The two reviews converge on battery life and finicky controls as the key compromises; PCMag additionally found the microphone unclear.
