The realme Buds Air 3 RMA2105 earbuds promise a compelling blend of long battery life, active noise cancellation (ANC), and impressive audio quality at a competitive price point. After spending several weeks testing them in various scenarios – from bustling commutes to quiet home listening sessions – I’m ready to share my in-depth review.

The Buds Air 3 boast a number of impressive features, including their standout 30-hour total playtime (including the charging case), 10-minute fast charging that provides 100 minutes of playback, and a 10mm dynamic bass boost driver that delivers rich, detailed sound. The inclusion of TÜV Rheinland’s high-performance certification for noise cancellation further adds to their appeal. The customizable audio tuning feature allows for personalized sound profiles, a nice touch for those who appreciate a customized listening experience. The IPX5 water resistance rating also provides peace of mind during workouts or unexpected rain showers.

In terms of performance, the Buds Air 3 largely lived up to the hype. The active noise cancellation is effective in dampening moderate background noise like office chatter or airplane hum. While it doesn’t completely eliminate all sounds, it provides a noticeable improvement in sound clarity and immersion. The battery life exceeded my expectations, comfortably surpassing the advertised 8 hours on a single charge. I consistently got over 7 hours with ANC enabled. The 10mm drivers deliver a well-balanced sound profile with a noticeable emphasis on bass, perfect for various music genres. The call quality was also consistently clear, even in moderately noisy environments. However, I did notice some minor audio dropouts occasionally in areas with significant wireless interference.

The touch controls are responsive and intuitive, and the fit is comfortable for extended use. The charging case is compact and easily slips into a pocket or bag.

Pros:

• Excellent battery life (over 30 hours total)
• Effective active noise cancellation
• Impressive sound quality with a strong bass response
• Fast charging capabilities
• Comfortable and secure fit
• Customizable audio tuning
• IPX5 water resistance

Cons:

• Occasional minor audio dropouts in areas with high wireless interference
• ANC isn’t perfect and struggles with very loud noises.

Overall, the realme Buds Air 3 RMA2105 are a fantastic pair of wireless earbuds that deliver exceptional value. The combination of long battery life, effective noise cancellation, and great sound quality makes them a strong contender in their price range. While minor audio dropouts occasionally occurred, they were infrequent enough not to significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich pair of true wireless earbuds without breaking the bank.
