So now without any further ado, let’s start the review :-
1️⃣ Build Quality And Comfort:-
The realme Buds Q2 is built of polycarbonate material and the design is inspired by pebbles or cobbles and hence it has a round finish all over.
As far as my experience is concerned I really like the design of the realme Buds Q2 It feels good in hand because of its premium matte finish and the hinges are quite sturdy, they don't wiggle while opening or closing the lid.
The realme Buds Q2 case weighs around 45 grams with earbuds inside and the EarBuds measure 4.5g each.
On the top we get to see ‘realme’ branding and At the front, LED indicator, whereas at the back you get a Type-C Charging port and a Pairing button inside the case.
On the top of the realme Buds Q2 we can see beautiful shiny area with reflects varying colors in different angles!!
It is the Multifuntional Touch sensitive area of the buds which will help you to control the music and different modes.
Also we can see two mics on the top of it one for Calling and the Other one for Noise Cancelling.
The realme Buds Q2 is available in two color options - Active Black and Calm Gray
The ear tips on realme Buds Q2 are angled and have a yellow accent that gives it a nice touch.
Also these Buds are IPX5 Water Resistant so you need to worry about water spills and sweat.
The fits nicely in the ear because of its Ergonomic Shape and are quite comfortable & tight enough so be assured that it won't fall off your ears while exercising. The look & feel is premium and it seems they are built to last.
2️⃣ Sound And Mic Quality:-
Sound Signature:-
I've been using it for the last few days I really found the Sound and Bass is mind-boggling.
No matter you're listening to which genres of music: Indian Classical, Soft Rock, Jazz, Electronic, or anything other it will always give you that soothing feel of music.
The vocals on these Buds sounded crystal clear and the instrument separation was very good as well.
The sound output has an ample amount of depth to it and It offers very Crystal Clear Music.
It comes with 10mm Hi-Fi Bass Boost Driver which has Liquid Crystal Polymer Diaphragm for Superior and stunning audio quality.
The realme Link App makes this experience even better by providing you to choose between the Bass Boost+, Dynamic and Bright EQ settings through the realme Link App which makes the experience more amazing.
I tried the earbuds with realme 3, realme C11, realme X2, realme X7 Pro 5G, realme 7 Pro & realme 8 Pro to see how the earbuds work with various smartphones.
Especially I loved the Bass Boost+ mode. Audiophiles are gonna in love with this mode for sure.
Mic and Call Quality
In realme Buds Q2 noise cancellation is also applied while calling. With two microphones and an Environmental Noise Cancellation algorithm, it can remove ambient noises so, that your voice can be clearly heard by others.
3️⃣ ANC ( Active Noise Cancellation) review:-
realme Buds Q2 is one of the few devices that comes with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). It is simply a noise cancellation technology that cancels out ambient noise by producing waves. ANC cancels out all the noises for a superior listening experience.
The realme Buds Q2 supports up to 25dB of noise cancellation and filters out most low-frequency noise allowing you to be immersed in music or work without being disturbed.
In my daily life testing I noticed thats it cancels sound of fans, A/C, vehicle noise on roadside, drilling machine and mixer noise to some extent, heavy rain noise, etc
Also you get full access of the Noise Controls, if you dont need noise cancellation and wanna keep an eye on the envionmental activity while enjoying your music you can switch to Transperency mode by just touching and holding both the earbuds together.
4️⃣ Connectivity:-
Lets talk about Connectivity first realme Buds Q2 comes with the new generation of Bluetooth 5.2 which provides a stable connection.
☑️Active Noise Cancellation
☑️High Power Efficiency
☑️Stable Connection
The R2 Chip in realme Buds Q2 features fantastic computing performance with better energy efficiency, which means connections are more stable and calls are of higher quality.
The Buds instantly get connected with your device the moment you open the lid of the case.
For the gamers, realme Buds Q2 comes with a dedicated Game mode which can be enabled directly from the app or by using touch controls.
I played Freefire matches using realme Buds Q2, you can hear those enemies foot steps and gunshots accurately.
Moreover, the Gaming Mode drastically reduces the latency to 88ms. The result is perfect sync between audio and visuals while watching movies or playing games. You gotta try them to experience the difference it makes!
5️⃣ Battery life And Charging:-
Now coming to the Battery life And Charging, the realme Buds Q2 looks so cute and mini but are full of power.
It has the Longest battery life in a realme TWS ever.
realme Buds Q2 With ANC turned off, it can last up to 28 hours and with ANC On, it can last up to 20 hours.
During my testing First I kept the ANC On .
I tested these earbuds from 100% and drained it till 20%. It took me about 5Hrs to drain it till 20%.
Then I charged it again in the case and used it again. It took 55mins to get 100% charge by the charging case.
Then I turned OFF the ANC and drained the earbuds from 100 till 20% on a single charge. Believe me it was a hectic job to drain it, it took me about 7hrs.
I was able to charge it for about 4-5 times till the case reaches 20%.
If we charge the case it takes 2hrs to fully charge.
You can check these percentages any moment in the realme Link app.
After only 10 minutes in the charging box, these buds allow you to listen to music for 3 hours that charging speed was really fast .
6️⃣ Additional features:-
Icing On The Cake is that is also supports Google Fast Pair which makes the pairing process hassle-free.
You can quickly check the battery level, which lets you get rid of charging anxiety and allows you to enjoy the long battery life performance.
To provide you additional flexibility, the realme Buds Q2 includes sophisticated touch controls such as double tap, triple tap, touch and hold which works flawlessly.
You can fully customize these controls according to your needs or wish from the realme Link App .
