The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price. The bass is indeed prominent, delivering a punchy and enjoyable listening experience for genres like pop and hip-hop. However, at higher volumes, some distortion was noticeable. The AI noise cancellation effectively muted low-level ambient sounds, making them ideal for use on public transport. While it doesn’t eliminate all background noise, it significantly reduces distractions during calls. Battery life met expectations, providing around 7 hours of continuous playback on a single charge; the charging case easily topped that up for multiple days of use. The low-latency gaming mode worked flawlessly, resulting in a seamless gaming experience with minimal lag.
The Bluetooth 5.2 connection was consistently reliable, with no noticeable dropouts during my testing period. The IPX5 water resistance proved useful during a few unexpected rain showers – no damage reported!
Pros:
- Great sound quality with punchy bass
- Effective noise cancellation for calls and commuting
- Long battery life (up to 30 hours with case)
- Reliable Bluetooth 5.2 connection
- IPX5 water resistance
- Low latency gaming mode
- Affordable price
Cons:
- Slight distortion at maximum volume
- Noise cancellation isn’t perfect for all environments
- Wired charging case only
Overall, the Realme Buds Air 3 Neo (RMA2113) offer excellent value for money. The impressive sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and long battery life make them a compelling choice for anyone looking for a reliable pair of true wireless earbuds. While a few minor shortcomings exist, they are easily overshadowed by the numerous positives. I would wholeheartedly recommend these earbuds to anyone searching for a balance of features and affordability.
