Buds Air 6 (RMA2402) Review: 50dB ANC & 40-Hour Playback – Worth the Hype?

For weeks, I’ve been testing the Buds Air 6 (RMA2402) true wireless earbuds, putting them through the paces of daily commutes, gym sessions, and even a few long flights. This in-depth review will cover everything from their noise-canceling capabilities and sound quality to their battery life and overall comfort. Let’s dive in and see if these earbuds live up to the hype.

The Buds Air 6 boasts several impressive features, including 50dB Intelligent Deep Sea Noise Reduction 2.0, a 12.4mm Mega Titanized Dynamic Bass Boost Driver, and an impressive claimed battery life of up to 40 hours. Other highlights include 6-microphone call noise cancellation, 55ms ultra-low latency for gaming, and an IPX5 water resistance rating (earbuds only). The sleek Flame Silver finish is also a nice touch.

The noise cancellation on the Buds Air 6 is genuinely effective. While not perfect, it significantly reduces low-frequency rumble from airplanes and trains, making them ideal for travel. The sound quality is surprisingly good for earbuds in this price range. The bass is punchy and well-defined, thanks to that 12.4mm driver, without overpowering the mids and highs. I found them comfortable for extended listening sessions, though individual experiences may vary. The 55ms low latency was noticeable when gaming – a significant improvement over many competitors. Battery life lived up to its claim, consistently delivering around 38 hours of use with ANC enabled. The fast charging is a lifesaver, providing hours of playback from a short charge.

Pros:

  • Excellent noise cancellation
  • Impressive battery life
  • Powerful and balanced sound
  • Low latency for gaming
  • Comfortable fit (for most users)
  • Fast charging

Cons:

  • ANC isn’t perfect in very noisy environments
  • Touch controls could be more responsive
  • IPX5 rating limits water resistance; not suitable for swimming

Overall, the Buds Air 6 (RMA2402) are a fantastic pair of true wireless earbuds offering a compelling combination of features, performance, and battery life. While there are minor areas for improvement, the strengths significantly outweigh the weaknesses. If you’re looking for earbuds with excellent noise cancellation, long battery life, and great sound quality without breaking the bank, the Buds Air 6 are a strong contender and I highly recommend them.
