Design: the realme buds Q2 follows the original buds Q with its pebble-like oblong plastic shell. The size is compact enough that it can fit within your palms comfortably. My only qualm with the design is how round it is. In my time with it, the case slipped through my hands and fell the ground around 3-4 times in total, but to realme’s credit the realme Buds Q2 seemed to withstand these little accidental mishaps. Surviving drop test? Check!  Using the realme Link App, you can customize the touch gestures on your realme Buds Q2. While there is no swipe function, you can add commands to double tap, triple tap or tap and hold commands.Fit-wise the realme buds Q2 has soft silicon tips in varying sizes to ensure that these in-ear buds fit your earlobes pretty well. What I like about the realme buds Q2 is how light the devices are so there’s hardly any ear fatigue. I can wear these for hours without my ears hurting. Sound Quality: The realme Buds Q2’s sound quality is best described by the word adequate. It’s not the best sounding TWS around, but then it’s not the most expensive among the bunch either. The large 10mm driver should, in theory, provide punchy bass and allow to detect and deliver great low frequencies however, I actually find the bass quite lacking. That’s not to say that you can’t hear anything. Mind you, the realme Buds Q2 could get loud but not the point where it hurts your ears and/or breaks the device’s speakers. A masterclass in sound mixing, we actually appreciated the musical wizardry of Michael Jackson’s 1982 classic album, Thriller on the realme Buds Q2. With the volume set at about 80%, we were able to hear all the little nuances that they apparently went into making this magnum opus. From the moving background vocals sweeping across left and right channels, to having the King of Pop sound clean and fresh as if they recorded this in 2020’s era to the face-melting guitar solo from Beat It mixed with the iconic bassline, the realme Buds Q2 was able to pick all of those up. Everyday Reliability: It may not have the sound signature that I want, but the realme Buds Q2 is one reliable device. As I mentioned earlier, I accidentally dropped the case along with Buds inside around 3 or 4 times during my time with it. And yet, in any of those cases, speakers didn’t seem to be damaged. There were zero cracks or scratches on the case. This means you can easily lug this around with you every day without needing to place additional care and concern to your realme Buds Q. Charging and Battery: The realme Buds Q2 promises a 20-Hour Battery Life for longer usage. That’s 20 hours of total playback!(with the charging case).WOW! This AIoT device is powered by a built-in 400mAh battery(charging case) and 40mAh battery(each earbud) which can provide 3-hour single continuous calling time and 5-hour single continuous music listening time.Nevertheless, the realbuds Q2 is true to its promise. It can actually last up to 5 hours. Mine lasted a little more than 5 hours actually, which is very good.
