Along with the all-new Narzo 30 series that includes the Narzo 30A and the Narzo 30 Pro, Realme has also announced its latest TWS offering, the Buds Air 2. Buds Air 2 is a successor to Realme’s Buds Air that was launched back in 2019, and it builds upon the same and adds a few additional features on top. The biggest highlight of the Buds Air 2 is the inclusion of ANC (active noise cancelation) — something that the Buds Air Pro featured and the original Buds Air lacked. Here’s a look at the specifications of the Buds Air 2.

Realme says it has introduced a new design language on the Buds Air 2, which it suggests inherits the curvy aesthetics of the previous generation (Buds Air) while also adopting a two-one color splicing design. In addition, the earbuds are said to have undergone what Realme calls a “matte process” that prevents fingerprints and smudges on the surface and ensures the earbuds stay securely in your ear. The earbuds come in at 4.1 grams and are available in two colorways: Black & Blue and Silver & White.

On the inside, the Buds Air 2 has Realme’s custom R2 chip. This chip features improvements over the chip from the previous generation and brings in support for active noise cancelation (ANC). It includes support for Bluetooth 5.2 and promises a 35% reduction in latency. Driving sound on the Buds Air 2 is a 10mm (diamond-class, Hi-Fi) driver. And, to add to the experience, there is support for AAC codec, along with the ability to adjust the sound to your preference using the 3 EQ presets on the Realme Link app.

Talking about other features, the Buds Air 2 comes with auto-connection and Google Fast Paid functionalities, which let you set up your device quickly. In addition, they offer smart wear detection to pause/play music when you take them out/put back in your ear. Similarly, you also get touch controls that let you perform quick actions.

Lastly, the Buds Air 2 claim to offer up to 25 hours of playback time, with the case. Realme says a single charge lasts up to 5 hours, and 10 minutes of charging provides 120 minutes of playback time.
