realme Buds Air 8 Pro: Key Features
The dual-driver configuration is a standout feature: a coaxial 11mm dynamic bass unit sits alongside a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. Each of them is handled by a DAC chip, which, if you ask me, is a setup usually found in earbuds that cost north of ₹10,000.
realme has equipped the earbuds with LHDC 5.0 for high-resolution wireless audio. They also come with Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification. Noise cancellation, another strong suit of the device, reaches 55dB in adaptive mode, which automatically adjusts the isolation effect based on the ambient noise conditions.
For clear calls, the earbuds feature a six-microphone array (three per earbud), alongside a bone conduction VPU that isolates vocal vibrations directly and filters up to 90dB of environmental noise.

Connectivity depends on Bluetooth v6.1, which enables triple-device simultaneous connection. The earbuds also support wear detection and Google Fast Pair support. For gaming, there’s a dedicated 45ms low-latency mode which keeps audio in sync on titles like BGMI and COD Mobile.
On a single charge, the earbuds last up to 12 hours, in normal mode (ANC off), which goes up to a total of 50 hours with the charging case. The earbuds also support fast charging, wherein a 10-minute charge via USB-C recharges the battery enough for up to 11 hours of playback.
