OnePlus has teamed up with renowned film music composer Hans Zimmer to develop an earbud that offers studio-quality audio for users. The upcoming OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will feature a customized EQ named “Soundscape” that is tuned by Zimmer. The Soundscape will have fewer low frequencies than the default setting, and it will feature a brighter and wider sound field that will enable users to enjoy the full orchestral sound of classical symphonies and the multidimensional sound of action films.
Hans Zimmer x OnePlus Buds Pro 2
Hans Zimmer is known for his exceptional work on blockbuster movies like Dune, Top Gun: Maverick, and The Dark Knight trilogy. His collaboration with OnePlus on the development of the second-generation earbuds is expected to deliver a new level of sound experience for users.
As part of the partnership, Zimmer has also rearranged “Lost But Won,” a song from the original soundtrack of the movie Rush. The song has been modified to include spatial audio characteristics, allowing listeners to distinguish sound all around them. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2, which is one of the first TWS earbuds to adopt Google’s signature spatial audio function, offers a customized spatial audio experience through a wide sound field and clear vocals that heighten the cinematic atmosphere while watching videos. With a dual-driver system, the sound resolution is incredible, and the bass is booming with pristine vocals.
The new customized Soundscape EQ and the spatial audio feature of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are expected to deliver a new listening experience for users. OnePlus is confident that the earbuds will set a new industry benchmark on how spatial audio should sound.
The Soundscape is an EQ tool that allows users to adjust the sound signature of their earphones or speakers. It lets them tune the audio to their taste by changing the balance of different frequency components in an audio signal. Users can enhance the deep rumble of the lower frequencies by boosting the bass and tweak the higher frequencies so that the treble comes out with extra lightness.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s spatial audio feature offers a customized experience through a wide sound field and clear vocals that heighten the cinematic atmosphere while watching videos. It offers a natural and immersive listening experience of a live concert, particularly when the earbuds are paired with the OnePlus 11 5G smartphone. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is among the first TWS earbuds to adopt Google’s signature spatial audio function, making the earbuds unique.
By integrating Google’s spatial audio framework, the rendering algorithm, and OnePlus’ advanced stereo up-mixing algorithm, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 offers a unique and customized spatial audio experience. Zimmer expressed his love for the spatial audio experience of the earbuds and stated that it felt like being in the front row at a live concert.
In conclusion, the partnership between OnePlus and Hans Zimmer has produced earbuds that offer an exceptional listening experience. With the customized Soundscape EQ and the spatial audio feature, users can experience the complex and delicate nuances of film scores in their full glory. They can be fully immersed in the music and transported into a whole new world. Zimmer’s rearranged “Lost But Won” soundtrack will enable customers to test the spatial audio feature of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, and it is expected to set an industry benchmark on how spatial audio should sound.
