Realme has launched three TWS earphones until now - Buds Air, Buds Air Neo, and Buds Q - but the Buds Air Pro are the first TWS earphones from the company that come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
Realme says the Buds Air Pro provide noise
cancellation up to 35dB, achieved using the FeedBack Microphone and FeedForward
Microphone, which collect the ambient noise outside and inside the ears,
respectively, and generate cancelling sound waves.
However, blocking out the outside world
entirely is not advisable when you are walking or driving, so the Buds Air Pro
come with a Transparency Mode that allows you to listen to the ambient sound,
which keeps you aware of your surroundings. And for clearer conversations
during calls, you get Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), which reduces the
surrounding noise.
The Realme Buds Air Pro are powered by the
custom 28mm S1 chip and come with an improved Game Mode having a low latency of
94ms. Each bud packs a 10mm Bass Boost Driver and weighs just 5 grams. The size
of the battery these buds pack is unknown, but the charging case that weighs
39.5 grams comes with a 486 mAh battery, which Realme says can offer a total of
25 hours of playback with ANC turned off, and five hours less with ANC turned
on. Once the case runs out of juice, a quick top-up of 10 minutes can get you
three hours of playback. A full charge takes an hour.
Like most other TWS earphones, the Buds
Air Pro support touch controls and voice commands. And for the first time in
the Buds Air series, they come with silicone tips for passive noise
cancellation. The rest of the features of the Realme Buds Air Pro include Smart
Wear Detection, Bluetooth 5.0, Google Fast Pair, IPX4 water resistance (buds
only), more effective Game Mode, and Bass Boost+ Mode (for extra bass).
However, there's no wireless charging like the Buds Air as some corners had to
be cut.
The Buds Air Pro come in Rock Black and
Soul White colors. They are priced at INR 4,999 and will go on sale in India
from October 16 through the company's official site, Flipkart, and offline
retail stores.
