Although it’s not a significant upgrade, the company’s new Air7 Pro model, introduced today, has considerable potential and improves on key aspects while reducing the price by CNY 20.
The new buds feature coaxial dual drivers (6mm + 11mm) for dramatic bass and detailed treble, similar to the older models. They support the LHDC 5.0 codec and are approved by Hi-Res Audio Wireless. Multi-point connectivity and Swift Pair are supported.
For the first time in this price range, the buds’ superior design utilises aviation-grade aluminium. They come in four colors—Sand White, Silver Lime, Wind Green, and Fire Red—and have an IP55 rating for protection to dust and splashes.
With a noise reduction of up to 53dB (up from 50dB), the new model has enhanced active noise cancellation (ANC). For voice calls, six microphones work in collaboration with AI-powered noise cancellation.
AI can also translate conversations in 32 languages in real time and interpret them simultaneously (of course, this is done on a phone). This use case and gaming benefit from the low latency connection (45 ms).
Additionally, the new device’s battery lasts up to 48 hours between the buds and the charging case. When compared to 40 hours with the previous generation. Please note that ANC is disabled for this purpose. Total playtime is 26 hours with noise cancellation turned on (6.5 hours with just the buds) and 20 hours with LHDC audio turned on (5 hours with just the buds). Ten minutes is sufficient for eleven hours of playback, and fast charging is available.
For CNY 450, you can purchase the Realme Buds Air7 Pro in China right now from the company’s online site. This amounts to ₹5,250, or $62/£46/€54.
