Realme Buds Air vs Apple AirPods 2: A comparison between their specs and cost

Realme has now come out with its own air pod, called Realme Buds Air. The air pods are already available for sale online and are based on the original design of Apple AirPods 2. However, unlike Apple's original product, Realme's air pods are far cheaper and are hence far more affordable. But does Realme's air pod match up to Apple's original product? Here is a comparison between the cost, and the specs of Realme Buds Air and Apple Airpods 2.

Quite evidently, Apple AirPods 2 have a slight advantage over Realme Buds Air. Not only is the Apple AirPods 2 smaller and lighter than Realme Buds Air, but it also works for longer durations and has much better battery life. While the two air pods are mostly in the same league when it comes to music quality, Apple once again has a slight advantage due to simple quality of life feature, which is its wearing detection that is completely absent in Realme Buds Air.

However, Apple AirPods 2 has a significant disadvantage, that being its high cost. The price of Apple's product is ₹14490, while Realme's version is only for ₹3,999. That means that there is a difference of ₹10,491 between Apple and Realme's products. This gives Realme Buds Air a massive advantage over Apple AirPods 2, as more conservative customers will prefer the cheaper product. Though with Apple's massive loyal user base, it is unlikely that the sales of Apple AirPods 2 will be harmed in any way.
