Realme Buds Air 2 will be available to buy online from today.
The Buds Air 2 earbuds come at a time when the market for TWS earbuds is growing dramatically. According to IDC, the TWS market in India grew by 723 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2020 with 6 million units. Realme has emerged as one of the top brands in the segment, offering features as advanced as wireless charging on the Buds Air and active-noise cancellation on Buds Air Pro and Buds Air 2. The new earbuds not only bring premium-class audio, but they also democratize active-noise cancellation by bringing the feature for less than Rs 5,000.

Realme Buds Air features and specifications
Realme Buds Air 2 earbuds feature a 10mm diamond-class Hi-Fi driver, which the company says can bring “ultra-high quality sound due to the use of material with hardness comparable to diamonds.” This driver is usually found in premium-end headphones and earphones, but Realme, as a part of its democratization drive, is offering it on the very affordable Buds Air 2.
Realme Buds Air 2 comes with active noise cancellation of up to 25dB, which sounds good for the price. Even if the ANC on these earbuds is not of the level that Apple AirPods Pro can offer, it is great to have for this price. The ANC is facilitated by dual-microphones, along with environmental noise cancellation in calls.
Realme Buds Air 2 supports three ANC modes, noise cancellation, standard, and transparency. Realme Buds Air 2 is powered by the new R2 chipset, which is said to increase battery life by 80 percent.
Realme claims the Buds Air 2 can offer 120 minutes of playback with 10 minutes of charge (provided ANC is off and volume is set to 50 percent). Charging the earbuds takes 1 hour, while the case would take around 2 hours to charge with earbuds inside fully.
There is an IPX5 rating, as well, that makes the Realme Buds Air 2 splash-proof. The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.2 to pair with Android and iPhones. However, the latter does not support these earbuds in the Realme Link app.
