Realme Buds Q2 features, specs
The Realme Buds Q2 harnesses Bluetooth 5.0 chip with a 10mm bass boost dynamic driver that supports AAC and SBC codecs. Additionally, you also get a dedicated gaming mode which takes the latency down to 88ms, an improvement from 119ms from the Buds Q. You can also customize between BassBosst+, Dynamic, and Bright sound effects with the help of the companion Realme Link app.
The true wireless earbuds also come with a microphone built-in with environmental noise cancellation for calls that block ambient noise during calls so that your voice is more clear during the call. In the box, you also get interchangeable eartips as these are in-ear style earbuds without stem design.
In terms of design, the Realme Buds Q2 offers a new Kaleidoscope lamination process with a unique looking surface on the area of touch interaction. Each bud weighs just 4.1 grams and the whole package weighs 29 grams making them comfortable to wear as well as carry around. These buds are also IPX4 rated meaning you can carry them to the gym and workout sessions without having to worry about sweat or even a bit of water drop.
As for the controls, you get double-tap to play/pause music or answer/end calls depending on the situation. Triple tap to skip track, long press to reject a call, and long-press both buds to enter/exit game mode. The volume control is missing here, which is common in the budget TWS space.
