Realme’s latest flagship earbuds bring an enticing feature set and a mirror-like case. Realme’s latest flagship wireless earbuds offer just about every.
Realme’s latest flagship wireless earbuds offer just about every high-end feature you’d want from a pair of TWS buds in 2024. Buds Air6 Pro pack dual drivers, active noise cancelation (ANC) rated at up to 50dB, and LDAC support for high-bitrate streaming.
Add in dual device pairing, 360 spatial audio, and an IP55 rating and you’ve got the makings of a great pair of earbuds. That’s all wrapped in a sleek case which combined with the buds should last you up to 40 hours of playtime.
But how do the Buds Air6 Pro stack up to their key competitors, and are they worth the €89/$100 price tag?Design
You’ll be hard-pressed to find any major differences in design between the Buds Air6 Pro and the Buds Air5 Pro. The case and the buds feature the same dimensions and size as before but you get two new color options.
Our review unit features a liquid metal color that Realme calls Titanium Twilight. It has a mirrorlike finish that gets smudged up in a hurry, but it’s also a neat little pocket mirror that you can carry around anywhere you go.
The case is compact enough to fit in my jean’s coin pocket, and its oval shape is suitable for other small pockets inside your bag, jacket, or other clothing items.
The stems on the Buds Air6 Pro also feature the shiny titanium look while the actual bit that goes into your ears is a sleek dark grey color similar to the “Nardo Grey” color option you’d see on Audi cars.
Both the buds and their case feel light which is always a good thing when dealing with wireless earbuds, especially if you plan on wearing them for longer periods. Realme says the buds and case come out to 47 grams in total with each earbud weighing a mere 4.5 grams.
The lightweight profile of the buds is also paired with a great in-ear fit. I’ve been using the Buds Air6 Pro with the default size M silicone tips, and I did not experience any discomfort or accidental falls, even during runs and gym sessions. The top halves of the buds combined with their curvature make for a very comfortable fit in my case but you should always try to test them out beforehand if you have the chance.
Each earbud also features 3 microphones and touch controls. The buds are also IP55-rated against water splashes and dust. The retail package includes a USB-C cable and replacement silicone ear tips in sizes small and large.Features and companion app
