The realme Buds Wireless 2 is a neckband-style wireless earphone with active noise cancellation up to 25dB, featuring a 13.6mm bass boost driver tuned with The Chainsmokers, LDAC support, and up to 22 hours of playback.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Realme Buds Wireless 2 is an affordable neckband that packs a surprising number of features for its price, including adaptive ANC, multipoint connectivity, and LDAC support. It offers long battery life, a bass-forward sound signature, and a handy companion app, making it a strong value pick for budget-conscious listeners. While its audio quality is decent and call handling works fine, some users may notice slight audio lag and the ANC isn't the most effective at blocking out noise.

What works

  • Excellent battery life with up to 22 hours of playback
  • Supports LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs for flexible audio streaming
  • Adaptive ANC and transparency mode for versatile listening
  • Multipoint connectivity allows pairing with two devices at once
  • Lightweight and IPX5-rated for sweat and splash resistance

What doesn't

  • ANC performance is limited and lets in some ambient noise
  • Occasional audio delay can be noticeable in videos or games
  • Sound quality is good but not exceptional for critical listening
  • Controls are limited to physical buttons without custom EQ options

MySmartPrice English131.6K viewsAug 2021
