Realme Buds T310: Budget TWS Earbuds with 46dB ANC, 40H Battery, Spatial Audio Review

Realme’s Buds T310 has managed to grab attention in the Indian market as a value-for-money offering. Packed with features that rival some premium TWS earbuds, this product offers 46 dB hybrid active noise cancellation, 360-degree spatialised audio, 40-hour playback, making it a worthy consideration for Jaipur-based buyers seeking a sub-2000 INR earphone.

Design and comfort

The Buds T310 follows the principle of minimalism in its design. Being only 4.2 grams heavy per each earbud, small size and lightness of the buds guarantee their comfort throughout all the wearing time. Also, there are several sizes of silicone ear tips in the realme earbuds to improve the sound isolation and ear fitting. The realme earbuds also have an equally small charging case. The buds and the case are glossy, have LED indicators in the case and come in three colors: Monet Purple, Vibrant Black, and Agile White. An IP55 rating provides protection of the buds from sweat and water, making the product suitable for exercising and rainy seasons.

Sound and ANC

One standout feature of the buds is the 46-dB hybrid noise cancellation, a feature which is uncommon for earbuds in this price range. This provides considerable sound insulation from any surrounding noise, like traffic noise or air conditioner noise. Realme has added a 12.4 mm dynamic bass driver in the earbuds, which improves the bass experience and offers good sound quality.

 Also onboard is a 360-degree spatialised audio which offers an immersive listening experience, especially when watching movies. These features, coupled with equaliser options and customisation options from the Realme Link app, enable enhanced audio tuning to suit individual preferences.

Battery life and charging

One of the strong suits of the buds is its battery backup. Realme claims that the buds can provide up to 9 hours of music playback on a single charge with ANC off, and up to 40 hours of playback when used with the charging case. ANC on also provides decent battery life for a full-day of commute. The earbuds can be charged quickly, providing more hours of listening time with quick charging. This will prevent users from staying awake at night just because of the need to charge their earbuds.

Gaming and connectivity

These earbuds have a Bluetooth connection of version 5.4. But, these earbuds also provide another important feature, the ‘dual device connection’ feature, which provides users the facility to connect these earbuds to two devices simultaneously. In true wireless earbuds, switching from one device to another is needed for making a connection; in other words, these earbuds can be connected to one device at once. The earbuds provided here provide users with a facility to switch between devices without needing to make any changes to Bluetooth settings. The earbuds also provide an important feature called ‘Gaming mode’. In gaming mode, latency of these earbuds gets greatly decreased (45ms). This ensures that there will be no lagging or delay in mobile gaming.

Call quality

The call quality is good because there are several microphones in the earbuds that block noise from the environment and also pick up the user's voice clearly. In some situations, for example, in a very crowded environment, some noises from the background might get through the call. For average people, the call quality is sufficient enough.

Conclusion: Who are Realme Buds T310 ideal for?

Based on all the features mentioned above, some of the best use cases for the Realme Buds T310 include making calls, using the earbuds for commuting with active noise cancellation, playing games using the low-latency mode, and enjoy watching movies with spatialised audio. The buds are also suitable for use during workouts, and by students for attending online classes due to the decent battery life, which can provide up to 9 hours of continuous playback. According to their capabilities and characteristics, the Realme Buds T310 are a great earbuds to consider purchasing.
