Realme Buds Air 8 Launched in India: 55dB ANC, Gemini AI & Master Design for Rs 3,799

Realme has officially refreshed its premium audio lineup in India today with the launch of the Realme Buds Air 8. True to its promises, the brand has brought back its signature collaboration with renowned industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, introducing a “Nature-Touch Master Design” alongside flagship-grade features like 55dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and native Google Gemini integration.

The Return of the Master Design

One of the most distinct aspects of the Realme Buds Air 8 is the revival of the Master Design philosophy, exclusive to the Indian market. Designed in collaboration with Naoto Fukasawa, the charging case features a geometric, three-part construction with rounded corners.

Moving away from standard glossy plastics, the case utilizes a bio-based organic silicone material. This eco-friendly texture is designed to be skin-soft and resistant to fingerprints, offering a premium tactile feel that sets it apart in the sub-Rs. 4,000 segment.

Audio Performance: Dual Drivers & LHDC 5.0

Under the hood, the Buds Air 8 aims to deliver audiophile-grade sound with a Premier Dual Driver setup.

• 11mm Woofer: Handles deep, punchy bass and dynamic low frequencies.
• 6mm Micro-plane Tweeter: dedicated to crisp highs and clear vocals.

This hardware is backed by the LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec, ensuring high-definition audio transmission that preserves more detail than standard SBC or AAC codecs. The earbuds are also Hi-Res Audio Certified, supporting 3D Spatial Audio and Dynamic Audio algorithms for an immersive listening experience.

Intelligent Noise Cancellation & Gemini AI

Realme is pushing the boundaries of budget-friendly ANC with a claimed depth of 55dB Intelligent Noise Cancellation. This is a significant step up from previous generations, capable of silencing heavy traffic or cabin noise effectively.

AI Integration

In a first for the series, the Buds Air 8 features AI Voice Assistant 2.0 powered by Google Gemini. This integration unlocks advanced smart features directly from the earbuds:

• Face-to-Face Translation: Real-time translation for bilingual conversations.
• AI Live Translator: Seamless interpretation of foreign languages.
• Voice Commands: Enhanced understanding for queries and smart home controls.

Call quality is managed by a 6-mic design (3 per earbud) equipped with deep noise cancellation algorithms to isolate the speaker’s voice in noisy environments.

Battery Life and Connectivity

The Buds Air 8 is built for marathon users, offering up to 58 hours of total playback (case + earbuds) with ANC off.

• Earbuds Battery: 62mAh (up to 14 hours single charge)
• Case Battery: 530mAh
• Fast Charging: A quick 10-minute charge provides 11 hours of music playback.
• Full Charge Time: 60 minutes for earbuds; 120 minutes for the case.

Connectivity is handled by the latest Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring stable connections and ultra-low latency of 45ms, making them suitable for competitive gaming.
