Realme has launched the 64-megapixel camera-toting Realme XT in India, but that was not the only product the company unveiled, it also lifted the covers from the Realme Power Bank with 10,000mAh capacity along with Realme Buds IPX4 rated.
Realme Buds Wireless Review In Detail:
The charging accessory’s launch was accompanied by the Realme Buds Wireless Bluetooth earphones. The neckband-style wireless headphones by Realme are IPX4-rated for splash resistance and are claimed to offer 12 hours of playback on a single charge. The Realme Buds Wireless also supports the magnetic control feature, akin to the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 earphones that are priced significantly higher.
Just like other Realme products, the headphones don’t cost a fortune. I’ve been using these for close to a week now, and the Realme Buds Wireless has been impressive so far. They are simple, comfortable to wear, promise up to 12-hour battery life on a single charge, and are easy to connect. The audio is tuned by well-known music producer Alan Walker.
Design
Just like the Realme Buds 2 and buds, the Buds Wireless follow the same design tradition – with the Black and Yellow theme. You get a flexible neckband that is black in color. The wires connecting the neckband to the earbuds are yellow in color, and they feel quite rigid too. The Buds Wireless are comfortable to wear, even for long hours, and they are extremely lightweight. They are so light, that you won’t even feel like they are on your neck.
Realme claims that the Realme Buds Wireless Bluetooth earphones have been tuned by renowned DJ Alan Walker and come equipped with 11.2mm bass boost drivers. The Realme audio offering is touted to provide 12 hours of music playback on a single charge and comes with a 3-button inline control. The company says that the Realme Buds Wireless also supports fast charge and can provide 100 minutes playback time with just 10 minutes of charging time. They are also IPX4-rated, which means the Realme Buds Wireless are sweat and splash resistant.
Along the left neckband, you have an in-line mic for phone calls. You also get three-button control for volume up and down and play/pause. They have a yellow accent, adding a nice touch. There is a small LED light indicator below the buttons and a micro-USB port for charging. There is no power on/off button so how does that work? Well, the implementation is pretty clever, like OnePlus wireless headphones. The earbuds have a magnet, separating them turns the earphones on, and attaching them turns them off.
Performance
Before we get into the performance part, I have to talk about a couple of things. The Realme Buds Wireless comes with MFP (magnetic fast pair) technology. Simply separate the buds too and they enter the pairing mode. If already paired with a smartphone, you can press and hold the Play / Pause button for 6 seconds and the LED with start flashing, indicating the pairing mode. And connectivity is seamless. My primary audio source was the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and at times, connected to the MacBook Air. Also, the songs I played were all having a bit rate of 360Kbps on Apple Music and Spotify.
Finally, talking about battery life, Realme says that the Buds Wireless can go up to 12 hours in a single charge. Even 10 minutes charge can last for up to 100 minutes. Well, full charging takes about two hours using a standard USB charger connected to a laptop. Since initially charging it, I’ve been using the headphones daily for at least an hour. Day one I used it for 4 hours, and the remaining 5 days it’s been 1 hour or so. Even after that, I still have 20 percent battery, which is impressive.
