OnePlus Buds 4 Storm Gray
Score: 87/100Rankings
OnePlus Buds 4 are mid-range true-wireless earbuds with a coaxial dual-driver system, hybrid ANC up to 55 dB, and LHDC 5.0 high-resolution audio support. They lack wireless charging and have a bulkier case, and Bluetooth range is limited to about 10 m. They fit users looking for strong ANC, long battery life, and hi-res audio on a budget.
CMF Buds 2 offer 48 dB hybrid ANC, Dirac-tuned sound and up to 55 hours total battery life in a sporty design. They provide spatial audio and low-latency gaming but the transparency mode is muffled and the default sound is bass-heavy, which may not suit all listeners. Best for budget-conscious commuters and gamers seeking strong ANC.

Professional reviewers commend the Buds 2 for delivering strong low-frequency ANC, exceptional battery life, and rich, customizable sound thanks to Dirac Opteo tuning, all at a compelling price. They also note clear call quality and low-latency gaming as standout features, but criticize the ANC's tendency to soften bass and the transparency mode's muffled character, indicating it falls short of elite-grade noise cancellation.
Everyday users praise the Buds 2 for its top-notch ANC, punchy bass, long battery life, and useful dual-device pairing, often calling it the best value in its price segment. Common complaints revolve around ear-tip comfort, a bass-heavy default sound, and a transparency mode that feels muffled or adds white noise.
