IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Nuraphone NuraTrue, OnePlus Buds Z2 have a rating of IP55 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
Nuraphone NuraTrue has a lower liquid rating than OnePlus Buds Z2
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a weight of 14.8g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The OnePlus Buds Z2, at 9g
are lighter than the Nuraphone NuraTrue with a difference -5.8g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Nuraphone NuraTrue are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together.
OnePlus Buds Z2 also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have sweat resistance
OnePlus Buds Z2's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both OnePlus Buds Z2 and Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
OnePlus Buds Z2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
Nuraphone NuraTrue sit well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device.
OnePlus Buds Z2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
OnePlus Buds Z2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery life is 6 hours, a device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
OnePlus Buds Z2's battery life is
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Nuraphone NuraTrue's case has a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
OnePlus Buds Z2's charging case has a battery life of 31 hours,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 13 hours

OnePlus Buds Z2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
OnePlus Buds Z2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Nuraphone NuraTrue support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Nuraphone NuraTrue will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
