Best Realme Buds Air

Audio quality

Whether the number of functions, composition or independence, if there is a really important factor in choosing headphones is yours audio quality. Although Bluetooth audio accessories have not yet reached the quality levels offered by cable operators, the industry has improved considerably in recent years, to the point of giving manufacturers the opportunity to create inexpensive Bluetooth headphones with excellent audio quality.

And fortunately, it's a Realme Buds Air mode. The sound quality of these small particles is good, and the most amazing sound effects ever produced to be clear and high volume, much higher than other competing models.

Unlike other headphones in the same price range, "canned" sound services are not appreciated which means the use of questionable quality parts.

On the other hand, Realme proposes an order of magnitude less aggressive bass and higher frequencies so the sound seems more "circular" than it actually is. The fact is, like most headphones within this same price forum, the depth of the anger is not strong, and it would be best to keep the volume at a moderate level to avoid distortion and to maintain some consistency between bass and treble.

In short: unless you're an inveterate audiophile who's already familiar with the depth and balance of high-end headphones – and a few tens of euros – they are quite expensive, you will enjoy listening to music via Realme Buds Air

Independence

One of the strengths in these riots is your independence. It really means that Buds Air can tolerate it up to three hours, and seventeen hours are charged for charging. During these test days, the actual figures have been well settled to those announced by the company, leaving us holding a possible independence of 20 hours, it's not bad for headphones whose price doesn't even exceed 70 euros – and when it comes time to use the charger, the light on the case will let you know.

But there is one thing: unlike many other headphones, including the more expensive ones, Buds Air has Qi wireless charging support, which added the addition of a USB Type C connector they make them one of the best headphones in terms of charging in their category.

Activities / pricing

There are some minor details that make Realme Buds Air a completely unique model in its category. Among its functions, we find the sensors that detect when the headphones are in our ears, and that stops music reproduction when we delete it.

They also offer "gaming mode" that reducing latency thanks to the use of a dedicated Realme R1 to prevent the video and audio are broken. The effect gained when using this function is not related to the movement of the wired head, but the difference is less noticeable, especially when using video content. However, when playing we are attacked by small "jumps," probably, because the sound is made in real time and the audio signal is not loaded. Adultery.

In a sense, it's included Support for the AAC codec – whether or not it's for the latest aptX or aptX HD, which includes resources to streamline native processes after eliminating the need to engage in "gaming mode" – Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and Fast Pair pairing support from Google that in the future – work not enabled in the meantime – will allow, for example, make the first pair with one touch, control the battery level of both heads and charge charging independently or even on mobile find headphones in case you get lost due to Google Device Manager.

Not so good for Realme Buds Air

Design

There is good reason why Apple has decided to follow in the footsteps of other brands and stop the formation of its AirPods when creating the AirPods Pro: a "open" format with phone headsets such as Realme Buds Air hurts division The lack of clips following the formation of the external ear canal and allows access to external noise.

Therefore, we would like Realme to follow the other companies' approach by supplying these phones with tablets, which is somehow They will alleviate the lack of audio cancellation.

This format also brings up something else that is clear: even though headphones exist very light, because they are completely made of plastic and have no such packaging, its composition may not be right in your ear, and as a result you find it uncomfortable if you're not used to wearing these type of headphones.

Finally, it is worth looking at your own class of beauty

In a few words, Realme Budme Air is a copy of Apple AirPods. Both charging cases – something more rounded than Apple's – and headphones themselves are inseparable from Cornertino's signature models, and this is one of the reasons why we lead the design as one of the features. genuine negative aspects of Realme Buds Air.

And we don't say that with the simple fact of being like AirPods, but because firms like Jabra with the new Elite 75t, or Samsung with its Galaxy Buds, among others, have shown that alternative designs can be better, convenient and safer – It's better not to use Realme Buds Air to perform tasks that require a lot of movement, because they'll probably eventually fall on your ears – than Apple & # 39; s.

However, it is clear that, like many other Apple products, AirPods have been – in my opinion, unrealistic – a mark of social status. And if all you need is for some people to believe you're wearing Apple headphones, Realme Budme Airs should be first on your list of options. Especially when we're talking about a white model like the one we were able to test.

Another thing to note is the fact that The charging case is made entirely of plastic, including a hinge that allows opening and closing the lid. This would not be a problem if it weren't for that the material does not give the impression of being of excellent quality, and something tells me that more than one person will be forced to buy a case separately in the future. In the end, I consider it important to say that headphones with no water resistance type.

Controls

And the experiences have not been particularly good when it comes to them control playback using touch panels that have both heads on their sides. Mainly because their place of residence is very small, on the other hand because between different controls something as simple as Ability to increase or decrease volume from headphones themselves -There is also an app that lets you configure the functions of touch panels as in other models.

Fortunately, familiarize yourself with the available options – double-tap to answer the call, pause or resume playing the sound; three times to the next song; Long-press on the headset to launch Google Assistant or close the phone; and long touch on both heads to turn on "game mode" – it's not too difficult, but we would have liked that the touch panels stayed in place, and that they included physical support that could change the volume level without access to the pocket for mobile.

And to ask, it wouldn't be that bad either change sounds that warn the operation and operation of “game mode” in subtle tones; I think it's completely unnecessary – or fun – to listen car start at full volume every time this option is activated.

Final thoughts and thoughts of Andro4all

If you haven't already made the jump to completely wireless headsets, I'm afraid that 2020 will be the year when smartphone manufacturers will push you all to find your first add-on of this type. And if you don't want to spend a fortune, Realme Buds Air is an excellent choice, with a good balance between features, sound quality and price, and there are no more restrictions on completely non-original formats and controls that may seem more accurate.
