Realme Buds Air
Realme is currently on a product launch sequence. The company launched Realme X2 alongside Realme Buds Air in India on December 17. The truly wireless headphones are almost identical to the Apple AirPods which cost around Rs. 15,000 in the country. On the other hand, the newly launched Realme Buds Air cost only Rs. 3,999.

Most tech enthusiasts who were waiting for the launch expected the Buds Air to cost around five thousand rupees. So, if you're on the market looking for truly wireless headphones, the Buds Air should be on your radar. In addition, we will help you decide whether the Buds Air is worth the price and whether you buy the Realme Buds Air or not. To start, let's first talk about the actual specifications of these truly wireless headphones.

Specifications of Realme Buds Air

The truly wireless pair of headphones comes with the R1 headphone chips, somewhat similar to the AirPods W1 chips. And the Realme Buds Air has super low latency thanks to the R1 chip inside. Additionally, users can use touch to control the functionality of Buds Air.

Double tapping will play or pause the media or it can also be used to answer a call. A triple tap will skip to the next song. Press and hold one side to bring up the voice assistant or end an active call. In addition, the wireless headphones also feature ENC (Environment Noise Cancellation Technology). Therefore, you will be able to make calls without a lot of background noise.

Of course, dual microphones are also present on the headphones. The Realme Buds Air is Bluetooth 5.0 compatible with Google Fast Pair technology. So the headphones would connect to your device seamlessly. The company says the Buds Air has a Bluetooth range of 10 meters.

You can charge the wireless headphones in the case using wireless chargers or even via a Type C cable. The battery life is relatively shorter than some other really wireless headphones in the price. At only about 3 hours of reading on a single charge, you'll need to put them back in the case to charge often. The case can charge the Buds Air about 4 to 5 times before connecting it too.

Overall sound quality

Air Sound Buds and Microphone

Thanks to the 12mm drivers of these truly wireless headphones, the sound quality is excellent, especially when compared to other cost-effective really wireless headphones. Users who like to listen to music that has a lot of bass would appreciate these wireless headphones. This is due to the “Dynamic Bass Boost” solution that the company uses to improve the overall sound quality and richness of the bass on the Buds Air.

As we mentioned above, the Air Buds have a very low latency mode while the company calls it the 'play mode'. This greatly reduces the latency, players will benefit as there will be little to no delay in the audio. Although this is also useful when watching movies or videos to avoid audio and video synchronization issues.

Conclusion

At just Rs. 3,999 or less than $ 60, the Realme Buds Air has little or no competition for the features it has to offer. While some might be put off by the blatant Apple AirPods design scam, this could be a bonus for others. In addition, the Buds Air are available in three colors. Black, white and yellow. So you can go with the black or yellow headphones to avoid getting the remarks from the AirPods clone.

Nevertheless, we can easily recommend the Realme Buds Air to anyone looking for a pair of economical wireless headphones. However, these may not be the best wireless headphones to take to the gym, as Realme has not specified any water resistance ratings. So, we suggest keeping Buds Air away from liquids as much as possible. So to answer the question – Should you buy Realme Buds Air? It’s a yes on our part.
