Realme is amongst the top true wireless earbuds brands in India, thanks to a plethora of options at all price points. The Realme Buds Air from early last year started this momentum, and it seems like its successor is finally here.

Towards the end of the Realme X7 series launch event, Realme India’s CEO Madhav Sheth announced that the launch of the Realme Buds Air 2: price in India, launch date, features, and news is “not too far”, hinting that the new TWS could be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Later in the day Madhav Sheth shared a video via his Twitter handle giving some more details of the new device. The 45-second video gives us a glimpse of the Realme Buds Air 2 earbuds. However, the chief executive of Realme India did not add any concrete details but did appear to suggest features such as active noise cancellation that wasn't part of the Realme Buds Air.

Soon after, a new landing page from Realme went live on Flipkart which talks about ANC on earphones and how the company aims to be the democratizer of active noise cancellation in India. The page also lists another pair of earphones as “coming soon”, which is likely to be a hint at the Realme Buds Air 2.

In another development, GSMArena recently spotted the Buds Air 2 on the Realme Link app, which is the brand’s platform for all connected devices. The same was not visible in our version of the app. Along with a design similar to the Buds Air Pro, these are also expected to sport ANC — a trend that has recently started growing in the budget TWS space.

Recently, leakster Ishan Agarwal shared a poster highlighting a partnership between Realme and The Chainsmokers which mentions the tagline “Noise off, Realme on”. This could be an indication of the Realme Buds Air 2 having some sort of relationship with the DJ duo. It could range from specific audio tuning in association with them or a special Master Edition of the earphones.

The rest of the information, such as other specifications and the launch date, is still scarce. Considering that the Realme Narzo 30 series is expected to be unveiled later this month, it shouldn’t be long before we learn more about the Realme Buds Air 2.
