Full transcript
- 0:04Hey, what's up peeps of youtube
- 0:05this is the Realme Buds
- 0:06Wireless 3 Neo, a new release
- 0:08by Realme in its budget lineup of
- 0:10neckbands, the Neo series,
- 0:11basically an update over the
- 0:12earlier one, Buds Wireless 2 Neo.
- 0:14If you wanna watch its unboxing video,
- 0:16you can head over to my
- 0:17Shorts upload and have
- 0:18a look over there.
- 0:19I like to do unboxing, separating like a
- 0:21product showcase,
- 0:22properly synced to music, so do
- 0:23have a look and let me know how it is.
- 0:26Now coming to the specs, it's got 13.4mm
- 0:28dynamic driver, we'll see how it's tuned
- 0:29in the sound section.
- 0:30The Bluetooth has been updated to 5.4 and
- 0:33yes, the connectivity is solid.
- 0:34I've tested it through walls, you can
- 0:35keep your phone and
- 0:36one room just easily roam
- 0:38around the house,
- 0:38listening to music or take calls.
- 0:40Without the hassle of losing
- 0:41connectivity, and crackle up
- 0:43the sound, easily a lot better
- 0:44than others in the same price range.
- 0:46Now it also has dual device connection on
- 0:47the connectivity
- 0:48front, which is quite rare
- 0:49in this price range.
- 0:50Comes in really handy when you wanna stay
- 0:51connected to two
- 0:52devices, either your laptop
- 0:54or computer and phone, and
- 0:55just take calls seamlessly.
- 0:57Although you need to toggle on this
- 0:58feature from the app.
- 0:59For gaming, 45ms low latency, the battery
- 1:02life, realme claims
- 1:02it to be 32 hours, and
- 1:04the 10min quick charge
- 1:05would give you about 7 hours.
- 1:06And for the watery and sweaty situations,
- 1:08IP55 dust and water resistance.
- 1:11Not to mention Google fast pair and AI
- 1:12ENC for calls, are
- 1:14present in almost all audio
- 1:15products nowadays.
- 1:17Now you might think active noise
- 1:18cancellation ENC is not
- 1:19there, but for this price, could
- 1:21you ask for more?
- 1:23Now just like most neckbands, to turn it
- 1:24on, all you need to do
- 1:25is just separate the buds,
- 1:27and it will quickly connect to your phone
- 1:28with Google fast pair.
- 1:29Alternatively, if you want to put it into
- 1:31pairing mode
- 1:31manually, just press and hold
- 1:33the circular multifunction button in a
- 1:35middle, to let it
- 1:36enter into pairing mode.
- 1:37It comes with the realme link apps
- 1:39support, which puts it way
- 1:40ahead than other neckbands
- 1:41in the similar price range, adding to the
- 1:43functionality of the earbuds a lot more.
- 1:44You can change the action of
- 1:45multifunction buttons as per
- 1:47your needs, but the default
- 1:48setting stays as such.
- 1:50A single tap would play or pause the
- 1:51music, or answer or end the calls.
- 1:54A double tap will take you to the next
- 1:55track, a triple tap will
- 1:56take you to the previous
- 1:58track.
- 1:58Press and hold it for 2 seconds to
- 2:00decline a call, or
- 2:01activate the voice assistant.
- 2:04For tweaking the sound, you get a few more presets
- 2:06out of the box that's
- 2:07set on original sound.
- 2:08And it's really nice to see a custom
- 2:10equalizer which is quite
- 2:11rare in this price and comes
- 2:12in really handy to let you dial in the
- 2:14sound as per your own taste.
- 2:16With the dynamic bass on, you can tweak
- 2:18the bass even further 5 steps up or down.
- 2:21Let's say for example if the bass on pure
- 2:23bass settings feels
- 2:23too much for you, then
- 2:25you can just tone it down a few steps.
- 2:27The strength of each step is really
- 2:28subtle so it's not a
- 2:29huge increase or decrease in
- 2:31the bass.
- 2:32This is the volume enhancer, it's self
- 2:33explanatory, also comes with a warning.
- 2:35Just keep it off if you
- 2:36don't want to damage your ears.
- 2:38Also a tiny advice regarding this, never
- 2:40ever listen to buds or
- 2:42earphones on the maximum
- 2:44volume, it's just going
- 2:45to damage your hearing.
- 2:46Rest of them are the toggle buttons for
- 2:48dual device connection,
- 2:49game mode and find my phone.
- 2:53Onto the design and build quality part, I
- 2:55really like the
- 2:56design of it, seems exactly
- 2:57similar to its expensive elder sibling,
- 2:59the Buds Wireless 3,
- 3:00the only differentiating
- 3:01element that sets them apart are the side
- 3:03modules or the control modules.
- 3:05They've got really nice two tone finish
- 3:07with half part being
- 3:08glossy and the other half
- 3:09being matte finish.
- 3:10Looks really nice and
- 3:11subtle and pretty cool.
- 3:13The material is soft.
- 3:15The connecting cord seems
- 3:16sufficiently thick and strong.
- 3:19The build quality is
- 3:20really good for the price.
- 3:21I would say you won't be able to
- 3:22differentiate between this and neckbands
- 3:23from a tier or two up.
- 3:28One of the most important aspects in any neck band
- 3:30is the call quality. So let's talk about
- 3:32the call quality on these
- 3:34This is how you'd sound to your recipient
- 3:36in a quieter environment in those
- 3:38settings. Check one two
- 3:39three check one two three
- 3:40this is the call quality test of
- 3:43the real Mi Buds wireless 3neo and
- 3:47This is how it would sound in a very
- 3:49quiet environment without anything on
- 3:51maybe just AC on or something
- 3:53but even with fans off
- 3:55This is how it would sound
- 3:56in a very quiet environment
- 3:58Check one two three check one two three
- 4:01now. I'm just putting the fan and it
- 4:04top speed right now
- 4:06Slowly probably you'd be able to hear
- 4:10the fan noise ramping up
- 4:16I'm not really sure if you could hear the
- 4:18fan noise creeping in
- 4:20This is how it sounds
- 4:22like with a full swing fan
- 4:24Check one two three check one two three
- 4:34When you're out and about traveling in public
- 4:36transport or in traffic situations. This
- 4:38is how you sound like
- 4:40walking down a really busy
- 4:42highway road here. This is the mic quality
- 4:47from the camera itself
- 4:49Just to give you the idea of how the
- 4:51default sound sounds like
- 4:54Now I'll switch over to the wireless
- 4:56Neo 3 and you will be the judge
- 4:59This is how the sound quality from the
- 5:02wireless Neo 3 sounds like
- 5:03check 1 2 3 and check 1 2 3
- 5:07Since it doesn't have any ANC
- 5:10Not really sure how the
- 5:11mics would be performing
- 5:14It might struggle or it might not
- 5:16struggle you would be the judge
- 5:18let us know in the comments
- 5:24Those were the samples from the
- 5:25microphone of wireless 3 Neo and now
- 5:27you know how they sound
- 5:29like in almost every scenario
- 5:30Now coming to the most important aspect
- 5:32of any audio product this is on quality
- 5:35now this being a
- 5:36budget entry-level product
- 5:37I was expecting it to be
- 5:39tuned to mass market quality
- 5:40Which is usually boomy bloated bass
- 5:42bleeding into all frequency ranges. It's
- 5:45not a sign of good audio quality
- 5:47Certainly mostly all the brands do in the
- 5:49budget lineup. That's where
- 5:50real make it a surprise, man
- 5:52I'm happy to tell you that they've not
- 5:53tuned it that way at
- 5:54least in their default sound
- 5:56It really seems to exceed any alternative
- 5:58around its price range
- 5:59But that's saying let me bring in the
- 6:01good old Oneplus bullet Z to neckband
- 6:03I guess these are about two years old or
- 6:05something and fed pretty well over time
- 6:07apart from signs of
- 6:08baby wear and tear stuff
- 6:09The good thing is they haven't stopped
- 6:10working yet now back in the days
- 6:12These are one of the best sounding
- 6:13neckbands you could find in 2k mark
- 6:15Although I never happened to like the
- 6:17sound signature on these was too dark and
- 6:19bass heavy for my taste
- 6:21Anyway onto the sound that the original
- 6:23sound in the app on three neos
- 6:25Listening to the song "Lift" by Poets of
- 6:27The Fall, the notes on the bass guitar
- 6:29after the starting chorus sounds pretty
- 6:31clear and distinctive
- 6:32you could really hear the thumpy kick not
- 6:35messing up with the
- 6:35bass guitar that much and
- 6:38Bass and the kick has its own space
- 6:40Really sound pretty decent for the busy
- 6:43track the snare sound snappy the whole
- 6:45drum set remains
- 6:46separate from the bass section
- 6:48Now as soon as I switch over to the EQ
- 6:50preset pure bass in the realme link app
- 6:53Everything becomes a lot more fuller
- 6:55The bass has got a lot of weight the
- 6:57kicks become a lot more beefier and
- 6:59becomes a lot more enjoyable to listen to
- 7:00The bass in this setting this is where
- 7:02the three near starts
- 7:03to sound a lot similar
- 7:05To the one plus bullet Z2 without losing
- 7:08the definition on the
- 7:09bass elements that much
- 7:10And maintaining a fun sound signature the
- 7:12Z2 on the other hand.
- 7:13It's really dark sounding
- 7:15bass heavy signature kind of eats up
- 7:18everything around it and
- 7:20In the bass section, there's not much of
- 7:22a definition. There's not much of it
- 7:24It is pretty decent
- 7:26But it's not as good as 3 neos the
- 7:28way the 3 neos are able
- 7:30to handle coming to the mids
- 7:31Markos vocals sound present doesn't take
- 7:33a backseat the vocal clarity is decent
- 7:35But as soon as you switch to the original
- 7:37sound on these vocals
- 7:39sound a little bit thinner
- 7:40Which is quite fine. Now the good thing
- 7:42is even on the pure
- 7:43bass settings the vocal
- 7:44the vocals doesn't seem to take a
- 7:47backseat. It's quite it's quite forward
- 7:49and present along with the bass
- 7:51Now the mids on Z2s are all researched
- 7:54Thanks to the overpowering bass the vocal
- 7:56seems to take a backseat the accompanying
- 7:58guitar elements sound all
- 7:59muffled with the vocals as well
- 8:01Whereas in wireless three nears you could
- 8:03actually hear the accompanying elements
- 8:05electronic guitars and all blending
- 8:07pretty recently with
- 8:08The vocals and not congesting everything.
- 8:12It's pretty darn clear i'd
- 8:14say. Now onto the highs
- 8:16Talking about Z2. I don't know if I
- 8:18should even talk about
- 8:19it. The overpowering bass just
- 8:22Kills the highs like anything. It's very
- 8:25dark. Like the highs are just not present
- 8:28at all. Whereas on 3 neos
- 8:31The highs are present
- 8:32They're not as well defined as the
- 8:35expensive counterparts
- 8:36But at least it's present and it's it's
- 8:39kind of shiny as well. It
- 8:41sounds quite crispy as well
- 8:42It does make you feel like it's right
- 8:45there. It's present even the
- 8:46pure bass settings in the app
- 8:48Doesn't drown out the highs that much
- 8:50Coming to the soundstage & imaging and
- 8:53boy by wireless three news impressed in
- 8:55this regard soundstage on
- 8:563 neos is far superior
- 8:58When compared to Z2 a lot wider than the
- 9:00Z2's the instrument separation is very
- 9:03good for its price range
- 9:04I'm saying this because I've
- 9:05got the oppo buds 2 as well
- 9:07Even on such a busy track by poets of
- 9:09the fall it manages to keep the
- 9:11instruments separation
- 9:12Pretty fairly good. The imaging is also
- 9:15done really well on these you can
- 9:16actually pinpoint the different
- 9:18instruments in the soundstage
- 9:21Pretty recently whereas in bullet Z2
- 9:23The imaging is just ok'ish because of
- 9:26the very narrow soundstage and the stereo
- 9:29separation is also not that much
- 9:31Because of all that the imaging feels
- 9:33like you're not able
- 9:34to pinpoint that well
- 9:36Few instruments just get lost sometimes
- 9:38because of the narrow soundstage
- 9:41So all in all realme wireless
- 9:423 neo sounds very
- 9:44much promising for the price
- 9:45They are coming for 1.3k.
- 9:47It holds on to the clarity
- 9:48It holds on to the wider soundstage and
- 9:51it delivers pretty well
- 9:52even in such busy tracks
- 9:54Now you can also go ahead and pick up its
- 9:55elder sibling and wireless three
- 9:57But the only difference being wireless
- 9:59three and wireless three new as the ANC
- 10:02for sound quality
- 10:04Unfortunately, I don't have so I cannot
- 10:06do a direct comparison
- 10:08But there are lots of reviewers who've
- 10:10compared you can go
- 10:11ahead and check them out
- 10:12And since the wireless
- 10:13three is also available for 1.6k
- 10:15I would suggest if you're getting getting
- 10:17wireless three for that price
- 10:18Just go ahead and pick up that because
- 10:19you'd be getting the ANC with along with
- 10:21the similar sound quality
- 10:24of the wireless 3 neo
- 10:26Tiny bit better
- 10:27details and all that stuff
- 10:28So that would be a better purchase, but
- 10:31if the price difference between the
- 10:32wireless three and
- 10:33wireless three new goes up
- 10:35usually the wireless three sells for
- 10:381.8 I guess or 2k
- 10:40then
- 10:42The ANC wouldn't matter
- 10:43that much because the default
- 10:45Passive noise isolation on wireless
- 10:47three new is very very good. I forgot to
- 10:49point out this superb
- 10:51It's very very good. At least for my
- 10:53ears. They're sitting very snug and
- 10:56Drowned out almost 60 to 70 percent of
- 10:58the sound leaving only the fan hiss a
- 11:00little bit on its full swing
- 11:02So there you go
- 11:03Now you have an in-depth picture of how
- 11:05wireless 3 neo sounds like and I
- 11:07hope this video turns out to be helpful
- 11:09And informative for you
- 11:10If you've got any suggestions or want me
- 11:12to compare any other audio products
- 11:14Just let me know in the comments if I
- 11:16happen to get my hands on those

- 11:20detail review on those and if you'd like
- 11:23to help support the channel

- 11:27subscriber button and do
