Much to the dismay of those restlessly waiting to get their hands on Realme’s yellow-tinted Buds Air, the Chinese smartphone maker has postponed its plan to launch this variant of the earbuds in China amid the coronavirus epidemic.
In an official apology letter, which was released on February 11th, Realme said consumers making the final payment on February 14th will be first in line to receive Buds Air yellow version. The Shenzhen-based company is expected to resume normal production as soon as it can while ensuring the utmost protection of its employees and consumers against the coronavirus outbreak.

Dear Realme User,
In order to strengthen the prevention and control of pneumonia epidemic of the new type of coronavirus, governments across the country, Guangdong and other regions have introduced regulations and measures such as extended holidays, postponed resumption of work, and traffic control. Enterprise rework and production have been affected to varying degrees. Therefore, the delivery time of the Realme Buds Air yellow version headphones will also be delayed. For customers who deliver the final payment on February 14, we expect to start shipping on March 3.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this delayed shipment. Realme will resume normal production as soon as possible under the premise of protecting the health of customers and employees. Thank you for your understanding and support.
