Realme Buds Q review

We are used to true wireless headphones extremely expensive, headphones that often exceed 100 euros and promise top performance, both on calls and when listening to music, films or audio books. However, not everyone is willing to spend this amount, especially without having ever tried this type of earphones. In short, why invest 100-200 euros for something that might not be for me? Or, trivially, for a product that I think I only use a handful of hours a week?

If you find yourself in this description, know that the market is full of cheap true wireless headphones that can still give you some satisfaction. The Realme Buds Q, for sale a 29,99 euro. We tell you about their strengths and weaknesses in this review.

Convincing design ...

The review of Realme Buds Q, the super cheap true wireless headphones Some time ago we tried the Realme Buds Air Neo (have you read our review?) Which come with a design rather similar to that of Apple's AirPods: no in-ear rubber, a shape that still allows them to remain anchored to the ear and the usual stick. The Buds Qs are totally different though: there is no bar, the rubber pad appears (3 sizes available) and everything is extremely compact. The weight is also incredibly low: only 3,6 grams for each earphone. You practically won't even notice you're wearing them.

Made of plastic and equipped with IPX4 certification, the Realme Buds Q are kept inside a small CASE with a rounded shape that fits even the tightest pockets. To characterize the latter we find the same cheap materials of the earphones, a microUSB connector and a single external LED that lights up only during charging.

... but inaccurate controls

The review of Realme Buds Q, the super cheap true wireless headphones The Realme Buds Q integrate the Bluetooth 5.0 it guarantees a fast and stable connection up to 10 meters. There is no latency in the use of multimedia content while for gaming there is the appropriate mode which however does not guarantee the desired results. The audio-video synchronization is not very punctual but in any case it is better than that offered by competitors in the same price range.

Instead they turn out the controls are not very precise. The soft touch area is in fact quite limited and you will not always be able to send the right command on the first attempt.
The gestures are the same on both the right and left, so you can give the same order even if your dominant hand is occupied. If you don't like this solution, you can use the application Realme link which allows you to associate different controls with double and triple taps and long presses.

The app allows you to check too the battery status and to activate the game mode, a mode that can also be set by pressing and holding both earphones for 2 seconds. To signal the activation we find, as in the Buds Air Neo, the sound of the engine starting. An absolutely clear signal but perhaps a little out of context, especially when compared with the delicate sound that instead communicates the deactivation of gaming mode.

Realme Buds Q review: calls, music and autonomy

Realme's super cheap true wireless headphones hold some surprises. First of all support for SBC and AAC codecs, unusual for this price range, and, secondly, a balanced and clear sound which helps you to listen to all kinds of music without difficulty. The high and medium frequencies are naturally privileged over the low ones but we did not expect anything different considering the cost of the Buds Q.

The calls, on the other hand, are less convincing. Whoever wears headphones has no difficulty hearing the interlocutor but the quality of the microphones is barely sufficient and often your interlocutor will tend to feel you are too distant. In noisy environments it becomes even more difficult, so much so that we have to disconnect the headphones and use the smartphone normally.

Finally, we come to the battery that guarantees about 4 hours of use, after which you can use the case that gives you another 16.

Realme Buds Q review: buy them or not?

A 29,99 € le Realme buds q are a really interesting product, especially if you are looking for a pair of headphones dedicated mainly to listening to music, films, podcasts or audio books that maybe can remain inserted in your ear even during sports. If calls are your priority, they probably aren't for you.
