The Realme Buds Q2 teaser page is already live on the company’s website, where it has been labelled as an “ANC Democratizer”.

The Realme Buds Q2 will be one of the cheapest TWS in the market to offer ANC. It harnesses a Bluetooth 5.0 chip with a 10mm bass boost dynamic driver that supports AAC and SBC codecs. There is also a dedicated gaming mode with 88ms low latency. With the companion Realme Link app, you will be able to customize between BassBosst+, Dynamic, and Bright sound effects. 

Further, it also features ENC for calls to block ambient noise during calls. These are in-ear style earbuds and you get interchangeable eartips as these are in-ear style earbuds without stem design. In terms of design, the Realme Buds Q2 offers a new Kaleidoscope lamination process with a unique looking surface on the area of touch interaction. These are also IPX4 rated meaning you can carry them to the gym and workout sessions without having to worry about sweat or even a bit of water drop. 

In terms of control, you get double-tap to play/pause music or answer/end calls, triple tap to skip track, long press to reject a call, and long-press both buds to enter/exit game mode. On a single charge, the Realme Q2 is said to last up to 20 hours - five hours with the earbuds and additional three charge cycles via the case. A 10 minutes quick charge is rated to deliver 2 hours of playback. The Realme Buds Q2 used micro-USB to charge the TWS.
