Realme Buds Air
Realme just released its first true wireless earbuds, the Realme Buds Air. The wireless earbuds market was rapidly heated in 2019. No wonder almost every smartphone brand wanted to join the ‘wireless hearables’ trend. Another reason is that wireless earbuds technology has been widely developed among the whole supply chains. And the up-and-coming Realme always seems to bring surprises, which is also the reason why we are bringing the Realme Buds Air as the closed review of 2019 earbuds series.
Design
When we received the Buds Air, the white earbuds on the surface of the yellow earbuds reminded me that they just look like Apple AirPods. However, if I tell you that you can cost only double digits in US Dollars to have such clean design but with the similar quality, will you turn to the Realme Buds Air? Especially since we saw much that design of digital products converged to a final solution. for those who care about their receipts, it probably could be a better option.
But when we look close to what’s in the box, the minimalistic design of the charging case is a bit different. The case of the Buds Air is entirely plastic but the lid is quite firmly. The case weighs just 42 grams, and each earbud just contributes about 4 grams, which is pretty lightweight. There is a USB-C port on the bottom for charging, but surprisingly the case supports wireless charging up to 10W on every basic Qi charger. The included wireless charging capabilities of the Realme Buds Air just challenged those competing earbuds which would ask you for an extra charge. And the Buds Air only costs you around 60 US dollars.
If you were afraid that the case breaks, Realme will allow you to buy just the case or even just a separate earbud. The earbuds are also made of plastic with a clean design, and three-color versions are available, yellow, white, and black.
Low latency
Both earbuds have a touch-sensitive button for multiple commands, like double-tap to pauses the track or answer a call, triple tap to skip to next song. And the Buds Air features a gaming mode which would reduce connection latency. You can press both buds for two seconds to enter the low-latency gaming mode.
Sound
Let’s get back to the sound and the overall performance of the earbuds. There are two microphones in each bud – one for conversations and one for talking noise canceling.
As budget wireless earbuds, the Realme Buds Air sounds good. To be more specific, I would say the sound is pretty pure and crisp. They reserve good detail of vocals and high-pitch sounds. relatively, the bass is good but not as impressive as the vocals.
Battery & wireless charging
As for their battery life, The Realme Buds Air case has a 400 mAh battery. It helps expand the earbuds’ 3 hours battery life to 17 hours. There is an indicator lighting up and letting you know when the power is going to run out. There are different modes and three colors for the different levels of charge, but relying on your android phone to tell you the exact power seems more convenient.
The most surprising feature of the realme Buds Air is the super-low latency. It’s really better than most wireless earbuds that even are more expensive than the Realme buds Air. So, if you are looking for a wireless earbud for playing games, besides the expensive AirPods, the Realme Buds Air absolutely is the best choice. It’s really difficult to notice the latency when play gaming.
Conclusion
Throughout the several days of listening, the Realme Buds Air is definitely one of the most surprising earbuds in our workshop. Although they’re not a pair of high-pricing earbuds, we are confident to say that it’s able to challenge the big players in the wireless earbuds market. Realme is still the Realme that is always pricing aggressively while providing impressive performance. Based on what we tested above, we are looking forward to seeing how it challenges the market.
