Realme Buds T300 Review: Sound that can make you groove

Realme Buds T300 Review: Realme has finally launched their new True Wireless Stereo (TWS) buds called the Realme Buds T300, on Wednesday, September 6. And one look is all it takes to realise that these buds can give the similar-priced products a tough run for their money. Launched at the price of Rs 2,299, it does not feel inexpensive at all, and actually delivers more than what it promises. It can be a great buy if you are looking for something affordable that does its job well. Let us dive right into the details —

Realme Buds T300 Review: Build and Design

Talking about the packaging, the buds come in a well-built case that weighs around 41 grams along with the buds. The buds I received were the Youth White variant, but you can choose the Stylish Black variant based on your style and preference. The case has a glossy, smooth texture that some users could find difficult to grip. However, the case is well-built, so even after dropping it a few times, I did not face any problem. The USB-C charging port is located at the bottom. 

The lid has a hinge that is reasonably sturdy and snaps open. The buds are lightweight and fit firmly in the ear canal. The buds would not slip off easily and stay in place even after a few hard jerks and even after head-banging to some metal music. The Buds have IP55 water and dust resistance, and they can withstand mild splashes and sweat.

Realme Buds T300 Review: Bluetooth v5.3 and Connectivity

The device comes with Bluetooth v.5.3, enabling a stable connection. With a low latency of 50 ms, there is hardly any lag between the audio and the video. However, the buds do not have the Google Fast Pair feature, which is not a dealbreaker but would've been ideal. Both Android and iPhone users have to follow the usual pairing procedure. 

Realme Buds T300 Review: Noise Cancellation and Transparent Mode

The device does have active noise cancellation (ANC) of 30 dB, and it automatically turns on when you put on the buds.

To enable the transparent mode, tap and hold on either side of the touch area. This disables the noise-cancelling feature and allows you to hear the surrounding noise. However, the difference between both modes is very subtle.

Realme Buds T300 Review: Sound and Microphone

Talking about the sound, the buds are really loud, and they sound phenomenal. The sound compensates for the inadequacies of the ANC. 

The first song that I heard on the buds was "Still Loving You" by The Scorpions on Spotify, and the 12.4mm Dynamic Bass Driver combined with the 360° Spatial Audio Effect really enhanced the listening experience. The audio and sound are really good compared to some of the more expensive earbuds that I have tried.

The 4-Mic Call Noise Cancellation is also top-notch, and the person on the other side can hear you clearly without any noise intrusion.

Realme Buds T300 Review: Battery and Charging

The T300 buds come with a 460mAh charging case battery capacity. I have been using it regularly for the last week — for two to three hours every day — and the buds still haven't run out of juice. 

The company claims that it has a total playback of 40 hours, and the Type-C port enables fast charging, which can give a 7-hour playback after just 10 minutes of charging. 

Realme Buds T300 Review: Touch Controls

According to the user manual, two taps on either side of the buds can be used to play or pause music, as well as answer or end calls. You can skip to the next track by tapping it three times; and by tapping and holding for a few seconds, you can either decline an incoming call or change the control settings to noise-cancelling or transparent mode.

There are designated 'touch regions' that are flush with the body of the buds. The regions are very responsive, and you can hear a "click" sound, which denotes the number of taps made. 

Realme Buds T300 Review: Final Verdict

At a price of Rs 2,299, the buds are really value for money. The buds could have more efficient ANC and Google Fast Pairing — features that are available in most TWS buds these days. Apart from these obvious drawbacks, the buds do provide great sound, audio output, and battery backup which can be a steal at this price.
