I spent a good amount of time with the Realme Buds Air 7 Pro, and I must say, these earbuds surprised me for their price point of Rs 5,499. They bring a few premium touches and features that you usually don’t expect in this range, and after daily use, here’s what I experienced across design, sound, battery, and more.
2Audio and call quality
Sound-wise, the Buds Air 7 Pro delivered a really balanced performance. Many mid-range earbuds tend to either overdo the bass or lose clarity in the highs, but these managed to keep all frequencies clear and distinct. The dual drivers—an 11mm woofer and 6mm tweeter—made a noticeable difference. The highs were crisp without sounding sharp, mids were full and clear, and the bass hit nicely without overpowering the rest of the sound spectrum.
I tested them with a mix of genres — from pop and rock to podcasts — and the experience was consistently good. The LHDC 5.0 support and Hi-Res certification also felt justified once I paired them with a compatible phone. The 3D Spatial Audio added a bit of immersive depth, especially while watching videos, which was a nice bonus.
Active noise cancellation was something I really wanted to test, given its promise of up to 53dB reduction. In my daily use, it did a solid job of cutting out background noise like office chatter, fans, and street sounds during my commute. It’s not quite as effective as high-end ANC earbuds, but it’s definitely a noticeable improvement over having ANC turned off. Calls were clear on both ends thanks to the six-mic system, with little to no complaints from the people I spoke to.
