The true wireless stereo (TWS) market in India is becoming increasingly competitive. While this particular category has traditionally been dominated by Chinese and Indian players, including Oppo, OnePlus, Realme, Boat, and Mivi, the market has also seen other players enter, such as CMF. Each brand wants to offer more value-for-money propositions, which is often appreciated by Indian customers. This is where the Realme Buds Air 8 come in, which were recently launched in India alongside the Realme 16 Pro series.
Realme Buds Air 8, which were recently launched in India along with the Realme 16 Pro series, is a feature-rich offering from the tech firm. It offers great comfort to users and impressive battery life. It provides an overall balanced audio profile, while often leaning towards being bassy. However, at about 70 percent volume, the audio quality becomes slightly shrill, losing audio clarity. This was a slight let-down, given that Realme's previous true wireless stereo (TWS) models have performed decently in our reviews.
