NEW DELHI: OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has already confirmed that its next flagship smartphone — OnePlus 10 Pro will launch in January 2022. It appears that the smartphone maker is also planning to expand its audio devices portfolio along with the smartphones. A new online leak suggests that the company is planning to launch the OnePlus Buds Z2 true wireless earbuds early next year.
These are the same earbuds that OnePlus launched in China in October this year along with the OnePlus 9RT. The earbuds come with active noise cancellation and feature a 11mm driver unit.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar(@heyitsyogesh), OnePlus Bud Z2 wireless earbuds are likely to launch in early 2022 in India. The leak also suggests that the company may price the earbuds at Rs 4,999. The device is said to initially come in Pearl White colour option and the company will later launch the Obsidian Black colour variant.
