The OnePlus Buds Z2 will support Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity. They will come with an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. The new leak further reveals that each earbud will offer 7 hours of battery life. They re expected to offer a battery life of 38 hours with the charging case. In addition, a quick charge of 10 minutes will allow them to last for up to 5 hours. The Buds Z2 will come in black and white variants.
