Of course, realme mobile phone users can also experience functions such as opening the cover connection and smart pop-up windows. In addition to the above functions, realme Buds Air3 also supports dual device connection. When using the tablet to watch a movie, if there is an incoming call on the mobile phone, you can go directly to the call scene.
Noise Cancelling Function & Certification
First of all, as a true wireless noise cancelling earbuds, the active noise cancelling capability is of course one of the most important indicators, and the noise cancelling effect of the realme Buds Air 3 can reach an industry-leading level of 42dB. This earphones adopts a dual-mic dual feedback structure and is equipped with the latest jointly developed realme R3 chip, which ensures a comprehensive upgrade of the noise cancelling effect and a leading position in the industry.
The realme Buds Air 3 is also the world’s first earphone product that has passed the Rheinland high-performance noise cancelling certification. TüV Rheinland is a third-party testing and certification agency established in 1872, and is a German product safety and quality certification agency. The Rheinland high-performance noise cancelling certification covers five dimensions including noise cancelling capability, interoperability, connection stability, sound delay, and call performance, and includes 25 major tests. Among them, the “noise cancelling capability” covers the average/maximum noise cancelling depth, the average/maximum noise cancelling depth of anti-wind noise, and the average noise cancelling depth of transparency mode, which ensures that consumers’ feelings are not compromised.
In addition, the realme Buds Air3 has also obtained the Golden Ear Selected Product (CGEC) certification from the China Electronic Audio Industry Association. It has successively passed the objective test of China Saibao Laboratory (the Fifth Institute of Electronics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) and the subjective listening evaluation of the sound quality evaluation listening team of China Electronic Audio Industry Association (commonly known as “Golden Ear”). This certification is also the first authoritative certification for comprehensive objective testing + subjective evaluation of audio products in China’s electro-acoustic industry.
Friends who are familiar with noise cancelling headphones must have such a problem in their daily use. It’s hard to get a good sound experience in windy outdoors. The realme Buds Air 3 completely solves the troubles caused by wind noise to users through a “soft and hard” approach.
First, the software is equipped with Smart De-wind algorithm technology. The platform automatically recognizes the size of the wind, and AI intelligently calculates and controls the wind noise pressure and reduces wind noise. Secondly, in terms of hardware, Dual-channel De-Wind Structure is adopted. Through the two-way hedging airflow anti-wind noise design, the wind will naturally flow through the two air guide holes of the earphone handle, effectively preventing the wind from forming turbulent noise in the feedforward microphone, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating wind noise.
In addition to ensuring that the listening noise cancelling fully meets the user’s environmental needs, the microphone call noise cancelling capability of realme Buds Air3 is also unambiguous. The AI ENC environmental noise cancelling algorithm is adopted, so that the two microphones on the earbuds can perform voice noise cancelling through the surrounding environmental sounds, further enhancing the clarity of the user’s voice.
Sound Quality of realme Buds Air 3
For a headphone, sound performance is of course the most important part of it. So I also focused on the in-depth test and experience of the realme Buds Air 3’s sound performance. During the evaluation process, Apple Music streaming software was mainly used, most of which were listened to with lossless sound quality, and the songs were mainly classical music and pop music.
In terms of sound performance, Realme Buds Air3 supports DBB (Dynamic Bass Boost) bass enhancement technology, which enables the 10mm dynamic unit of the earbuds to have a more shocking low-frequency performance. And this earbuds also supports Dolby Atmos, which brings high-quality sound effects in three-dimensional surround, and brings a three-dimensional sense of space to the sound (it needs to be used with a mobile phone that supports Dolby Atmos). At the same time, combined with the support of Bluetooth 5.2 technology, this product has obtained faster transmission speed, better anti-interference performance and lower power consumption.
In terms of sound style performance, realme Buds Air3 is undoubtedly eye-catching. Thanks to the larger diameter of the dynamic unit, the low-frequency performance of this earbuds is excellent, both in terms of quantity and extended texture. And it can also maintain a high level in terms of high frequency transparency and resolution.
For everyday pop music, the realme Buds Air3 performance is more comprehensive. Especially when switching presets of different sound styles through the APP, most users can get their favorite sound effects in it. As an earbuds equipped with the noise cancelling function, the realme Buds Air 3 has no obvious sound style changes when the noise cancelling is turned on or off. This also ensures that while users experience noise cancelling, the sound performance will not be compromised, which is very important for noise cancelling earbuds.
In terms of sound field performance, realme Buds Air 3 is a more natural and loose style. The size of the sound field is moderate and maintains excellent looseness and sound density, and the imaging of the instruments is relatively accurate. For users who like to listen to instrumental music and classical music, this true wireless earbuds can also perform well. This excellent performance is not common in true wireless earphones.
