After the continuous teasers, realme has finally announced the local pricing and availability for its True Wireless Headphones, the realme Buds Air.
Realme Buds Air packs the R1 chip to deliver seamless and instantaneous connectivity via Bluetooth 5, along with better battery performance, and smart controls. Thanks to its Auto Connection feature, you’ll only need to pair it once, and it’ll automatically connect to your device when you open the lid of the charging case.
It also boasts Gaming Mode, which reduces latency by up to 51% to ensure that the sound is in sync with what you’re playing or watching. It uses Dynamic Bass Boost Drivers for a more immersive experience.
To ensure that your voice comes out clear on the other side of the line, it’s also equipped with dual microphones which utilizes ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation Technology) to filter out background noise.
Using an optical sensor, realme Buds Air is able to detect when they’re worn, pausing and continuing playback accordingly. With a long press, you can launch your voice assistant.
The Charging Case can be charged using a wireless charging pad, or via a USB-C Port. It boasts up to 3 hours of uptime in a single charge, and up to 17 hours total with the case.
