Realme made its latest True Wireless Headset Buds air 3 Has launched These Buds are similar to Air 2, but some shortcomings in the old model are seen fulfilling them. It can be said that after their arrival, the competition in the market has become stronger in which Oppo ENCO AIR 2 Pro And OnePlus Buds Z2 Also included. Are these best TWS headsets at a price of less than Rs 5000? Will find out in this review.
Compact and Efficient Design of Realme Buds Air 3
Realme Buds Air 3 is priced at Rs 3,999 in India and these stary falls in Blue and Galaxy White Colors. Recently, the company has also launched their nitro blue version, which has also been given white racing strips. The price of this variant is Rs 4,999.
A new product version usually means that you will get some improvement. In terms of design, some useful changes have been made in Realme Buds Air 3. The earpiece and charging cases are slightly smaller than the old model, even if it takes the same to see and feel. Among them, good in-centers have been given fit, causing noise isolation in active noise cancellation.
Like Buds Air 2, Realme Buds Air 3 has a separate module from the main chamber of the earpiece. Their color is also different. My review unit was in the stem silver color and the yearpiece was in white color. Like the old model, this time ‘L’ and ‘R’ mark has not been given on the earpiece. The earpiece has an IPX5 rating for water juice and each weight of each is 4.2 grams.
I liked the look of Realme Buds Air 3. Its compact design and comfortable fit did a great job for me. A small charging cable is available in the cell package and three pairs of different size silicone ear tips are also available to get customizable fit. The outer side of the stem is sensitive to touch control. These can be customized through Realme Link App. The app is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
I found it good to perform its touch control. However, on several occasions the triple tap gesture registered a double tap, or did not register. The touch sensitive area on the earpiece is quite small and has not been shown. Perhaps this is why he was not able to read input. It is possible to control the playback through these touch controls, switch between ANC and here-three modes, activate the default voice assistant on the payer device and activate game mode directly from earphones.
Realme Buds is similar to the color and finish earpiece of the charging case of Air 3. The front has an indicator light, the USB Type-C port in the bottom and a Bluetooth pairing button on the right. Realme logo at the top. My name was printed behind the case in the review unit sent to me, but Reality has confirmed that it is not available to customers in India right now.
Like the company’s other wireless audio products, Realme Buds has been given the Realme Link App to support the functions of Air 3. Through the app, users can switch between ANC and here-three modes, activate game mode and control other features such as dual devices connectivity. Through the app, you can also customize touch control on the earpiece.
Using the app you can choose from three equipment presets, or you can tuning through a customized audio tuning process. I used ‘Balanced’ sound preset. Custom audio signature can suit some people, you have to undergo a hearing test to especially set tuning for you.
Realme Buds Air 3 has a 10mm dynamic driver and is supported by SBC and AAC Bluetooth codec. For this, connectivity of Bluetooth 5.2 has been given in them. The ANC claims to reduce the sound up to 42DB. Low latency game mode is up to 88ms. It also has a feature to connect two devices simultaneously.
Battery life was good in the wearable. It lasted for 4.5 hours in single charge. In the charging case, you get three full charging bicycles. The charging case is slightly smaller than the old model and gives more charging bicycle.
Realme Buds Air 3’s ANC and Sound found in Sound
The old model was average in terms of sound. There was also a lot of active noise cancellation in it. Realme Buds AIR 3 shows a lot of improvement from that. The support of SBC and AAC Bluetooth codec means that it will get the same music experience on Android and iOS devices. I used the iPhone for this review. I heard Martin Solveig’s intoxicated on it. The sound quality was much better than any other headset reviewed by Reality.
Its sonic signature has been tuned for the strong base, but the low points of the track were heard very clean and tight. Whereas this is not found in other devices of this price range. The high points of the track were also comfortable and clean. The mid range was slightly less. The track was feeling quite clean, especially during its strong and fast beat.
The detail level in Childish Gambino’s Feels Like Summer was quite good. It is a down tempo and a subtle track that looks great at different volume levels. It is here that Realme Buds Air 3 has improved to give enjoyable and comfortable sound.
The sound of Realme Buds Air 3 feels quite comfortable in the ears. I did not get any kind of fatigue while listening to the music. However, in terms of attack and drive sound, earphones fell behind Oppo ENCO Air 2 Pro and OnePlus Buds Z2.
Realme Buds AIR 3 active noise cancellation was much better than its old model. This feature also did a good job in indoor. AC’s Hmm Sound was heard very little. At the same time, the noise of the office and the noise of the streets in the outdoor were slightly lightened. This led to the facility to hear but you will get better ANC performance in a little more expensive options such as OnePlus Buds Z2 or Nothing Ear 1.
The transparency mode looked too much easier but obviously I was able to hear the environment around me better. Hearing with an earpiece, I found it more comfortable to rely on automatic play and positive function with taking small calls. Its connectivity is very good. Earpiece works very well up to 4 meters. Multipoint connectivity also did a good job. For calls, I was able to use these earphones without any hassle.
Verdict
Realme Value has a very good track record in terms of money products. Realme Buds Air 3 has carried forward the company’s quality. This time sound quality and active noise cancellation have improved. It also has some useful features such as multi-point connectivity. If you are watching True Wireless earphones at a price of less than Rs 5000, then you can take them.
In terms of price, the sound quality and ANC performance in Realme Buds Air 3 is quite good. However, the quality Oppo ENCO Air 2 Pro or OnePlus Buds is inferior to Z2. However, the Over -Experience makes this handset worth buying in this price range.
