The budget truly wireless earbuds space in India is growing quite rapidly. And Realme has positioned itself as one of the major brands to partake in this trend. Realme Buds Air was the company’s first pair of TWS earbuds and it arrived with wear detection and wireless charging in tow. The company added Buds Air Neo to the kitty last month and now, Realme Buds Q has arrived in India as the most affordable TWS offering from the company.
Realme Buds Q were first unveiled in China earlier last month, alongside the Realme X50 Pro Player Edition. The TWS earbuds are designed by French designer José Lévy. He draws inspiration from soft, round black pebbles for the of the Realme Buds Q. It does not have any straight lines and features only rounded edges. It should look cute in person.
These earbuds carry an IPX4 certification, so using them at the gym shouldn’t be a problem. Further, Realme knows that offering physical buttons aboard these earbuds will be a huge nuisance. Pressing the buttons pushes the earbuds further into your ear. I’ve faced this issue while using the Noise Shots X5 back in the day. So, it has baked touch controls into the earbuds.
Realme Buds Q has been priced at Rs. 1,999 in India and will compete directly against Redmi Earbuds S that launched in India earlier last month. Realme has some tough competition to look forward to as Redmi Earbuds S has been dubbed as the best value-for-money TWS earphones by many. Even my colleague Akshay dubbed them a ‘solid deal to go for’ as the Redmi Earbuds S is priced ‘as if they were on a sale’ in our review.
We will bring you a comparison between the Realme Buds Q and Redmi Earbuds S very soon, so come back to learn which one you should get.
