realme Buds Wireless 5 ANC in Ear Bluetooth Headphones,50dB ANC, 13.6mm Dynamic Bass Driver,360? Spatial Audio,45ms Low Latency,Upto 38hrs Playback,IP55 Rating,Dual Device Connection(Twilight Purple)

Man, I don’t get why people are hating on these. I used the previous version (Realme Buds Wireless 3 ANC) and honestly, I liked that design a bit better, but this is fine too. The only big issue with the older one was the wire near the buds would break over time. That seems fixed in this model, it feels a lot sturdier now. Hopefully it stays that way.For the price, the ANC is great. I take calls at the office and even while riding my bike, and people have no trouble hearing me.I connect this neckband with my MacBook and S23 Ultra at the same time, and it works perfectly. For me, it’s a godsend. I use it every day and it’s basically my necklace now, lol.Used other brands neckband like oneplus and oppo. Which have my heart.Regarding realme, I didn’t like the older model especially the Realme Buds Wireless 2. The build quality was terrible. Only versions 3 and 5 are really worth it in my opinion.The only dumb problem is that nearby Android devices keep getting the Google Fast Pair popup even when it’s not in pairing mode. Even when I’m using it, my cousin still gets the prompt to connect. I updated the firmware hoping it would fix it, but it did not. You have to manually turn of nearby device scanning in Google settings.Bought these in Jan 2025 and now it’s the end of June. I think they’ll keep going strong for a long time.Ps: I bought a purple one for my mother.

I only see cons on this earphones. For reference, I am coming from a 1st gen realme Buds Wireless Pro neckband (still available for purchase on Amazon).- This does not have quick toggle between 2 paired devices. The simultaneous connection is a gimmick. Why would I want to switch to an incoming call on a mobile when I am on an important teams meet on my laptop? I want the ability to switch at will, not because of some lame priority algorithm. The 1st gen model can toggle between the last 2 paired devices with a simple double click of the button. In this model, you need to keep pressing the ANC button till you hear a beep, and then click connect on the device you want to switch to, even if you have established pairing earlier.- The noise cancellation is literally useless when compared to the 1 Gen model (35db). I have travelled on plane wearing the Gen-1 and it was fantastic. This one does not even muffle the kitchen mixer sound. There is no feeling of 'pressure in the ears' that you usually get when ANC is activated, even on Max mode via the app.- transparent mode does not sound much different than normal mode. Again the Gen-1 was superb compared to this model.- Most important of all, every time you disconnect and connect to a device, the first 3 seconds of sound is lost!- The app requires you to create an account to be able to control the device, like what even?! And the app is a total of 162MB!- Fit is very bad, the right side ear bud keeps falling out of the ear (I am on the smallest sized ear tip).- The cable quality is identical to the gen-1 and I suspect it is prone to tearing off/disintegrating just like Gen-1. See youtube repair videos of realme Buds Wireless Pro on youtube.The only good thing I see is that the neckband is very light. I wonder if I should have gone ahead with those 500-700 rupee neckbands from Meesho.

The Realme Buds Wireless 5 ANC are a total game-changer in the budget audio space. The sound quality is crisp, punchy, and well-balanced, making every genre enjoyable. What really shocked me is the ANC — it actually works, and blocks out background noise far better than anything else in this price range. The neckband is lightweight and super comfortable for long use, and features like dual pairing and solid battery life just make the deal even sweeter. For the price, this is easily one of the best neckbands you can buy right now.

Great experience when I used it....More quality and clarity in sound are more than what I was expected. The connection and use of it is very user-friendly.

It is really beautiful. After using over 6 months it is working as good as the 1st time usage. The clarity and features given in this product is amazing 😍. Truly fullfill my requirements. This is really value for money, and you should go for it.❤️
