OnePlus has expanded its audio product range in Europe with the arrival of a familiar offering. Back in March, OnePlus launched a more cost-effective iteration of its Buds Pro in China, and now, these earbuds have made their way to European shores, albeit with a slight rebranding. Say hello to the OnePlus Buds Pro 2R, essentially the same product as its Chinese counterpart, with only a difference in name. It’s worth noting that, currently, only the white variant of these earbuds is available in Europe.
For those eager to seize a deal, an attractive introductory offer awaits. In Europe, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2R can be acquired for just €129, marking a €20 reduction from the standard €149 price tag. To avail this discount, all you have to do is pre-order a pair before September 25 at 11:00 CEST, directly from OnePlus’ official store.
However, there’s an intriguing twist to consider before making a decision. The regular OnePlus Buds Pro 2 (the non-R version) are currently priced at €125.30 in Europe. Surprisingly, not only are these cheaper than the Buds Pro 2R but they also offer additional features such as wireless charging and head tracking support, which the Buds Pro 2R lacks. In terms of core functionality, both versions are identical. So, if you can still secure the Pro 2 earbuds for €125.30, it’s a compelling choice.
Conversely, if the price of the Pro 2 earbuds increases or if you don’t consider wireless charging and head tracking as critical features, then the OnePlus Buds Pro 2R could be a suitable option for you.
