realme Buds Wireless 2S (RMA2011) Review: 24H Battery & Powerful Bass?

Introduction

The realme Buds Wireless 2S (RMA2011) arrived on my desk promising a compelling combination of features: powerful bass, long battery life, and a convenient wireless experience. After several weeks of rigorous testing, encompassing various listening scenarios and daily use, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

Features

The Buds Wireless 2S boasts several key features. The standout is its 11.2mm dynamic bass driver, promising a rich audio experience. The advertised 24-hour battery life is another significant selling point, along with the IPX4 water resistance, making them suitable for workouts. Bluetooth 5.3 ensures a stable and low-latency connection, crucial for seamless audio and video syncing. The ability to seamlessly switch between two devices is also a welcome addition.

Performance

The bass performance is indeed impressive; it’s deep and punchy, but doesn’t overpower the mids and highs. The clarity is surprisingly good, considering the emphasis on bass. However, at maximum volume, there’s a slight distortion noticeable on certain tracks. The battery life lived up to its claims during my testing; I easily got a full day’s use on a single charge. The Bluetooth 5.3 connection remained stable and reliable throughout my testing. The multi-device connection worked flawlessly, switching between my phone and laptop with ease. The in-ear fit was comfortable for extended listening sessions, though some users might find the default ear tips don’t provide a perfect seal.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Powerful bass, excellent battery life, stable Bluetooth 5.3 connection, comfortable fit (for most), easy multi-device switching, IPX4 water resistance.
  • Cons: Slight distortion at maximum volume, ear tip fit may not be ideal for all users, charging case is wired only.

Final Verdict

The realme Buds Wireless 2S (RMA2011) delivers on its promises of powerful bass and long battery life. While there are minor drawbacks like slight distortion at high volume and the wired charging case, the overall experience is positive. For the price, these earbuds offer excellent value, making them a strong contender in the budget wireless earphone market. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pair of bass-heavy earbuds with impressive battery life.
