REALME BUDS AIR 2

Moving beyond just smartphones, realme is expanding its product range to wearables and other AIOT devices that all offer a smarter, more enjoyable lifestyle. Among the latest devices they’ve introduced into the market is the Buds Air 2, true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation. Let’s check out how it performs.

DESIGN

The test unit that I received comes in black, although a white color option is available. As with other similar products, the earbuds are housed in a glossy oval plastic charging case that has a USB-C port at the bottom, a discreet button on the right, and a hinged cover on top. Each earpiece consists of an earbud attached to a thin round stalk. Each earbud weighs only 4.1g, so they’re easy to wear the whole day.

HARDWARE

The core of the Buds AIr 2 is a 10mm hi-fi bass boost sound driver made with a diamond-like carbon coating. It is equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.2 version for a more stable signal, a stronger connection, and lower power consumption. Active noise cancellation is achieved with the new realme R2 chip, while dual microphones come with an environmental noise reduction algorithm. The high-capacity battery can be fast-charged in 10min for 2hrs of playback. The earbuds can be used continuously for 5hrs, while the charging case adds an extra 20hrs for a total of 25hrs playback or over 1 whole day of non-stop use.
