Overall Best Pick

• Bass-heavy sound signature

BUY FROM AMAZON

The Realme Buds Wireless Pro ANC is the latest wireless in-ear style Bluetooth earphone that comes with a unique feature up its sleeve – active noise cancellation (ANC).

Build Quality

Similar to many other Realme accessories, this one too comes in the signature dual-tone black and yellow colour scheme.

The soundstage features good stereo separation but at times the highs get a bit muffled with certain songs.

Be it for an EDM lover or a vocal purist, these Wireless Pro earphones from Realme will deliver satisfactory sound output.

Active Noise Cancellation 

This is one of the main trump cards of this wireless earphone. No other earphone in its price range comes with ANC.

What surprised us is that the ANC works well and is not just a marketing gimmick.

The earpiece on this earphone has two separate microphones to capture the ambient sound and block the sound, which works surprisingly well to attenuate outside noises. 

With ANC turned on, it is noticeable with the lack of any sort of major outside disturbance getting inside the ears. 

Inline Remote and Microphone 

The inline remote of the Realme Buds Wireless Pro has four buttons in total. 

The first three buttons are our regular media controls whereas the fourth button is a dedicated ANC mode switcher that turns on the ANC, of the ANC and a third mode called transparency mode which will let you hear more of the surroundings than usual.

The media controls buttons are tiny and it takes some time to get used to them. 

The inline microphone works flawlessly and supports ANC in hands-free voice calls as well.

The voice calls quality is very much superior to what we have experienced with other wireless earphones in this segment. 

Miscellaneous

Not only this, attaching the earpieces switch off the earphones automatically saving power. 

This earphone supports quick pair mode which is fast to pair with the smartphone in no time. 

Since this device supports AAC and LDAC codec, the overall wireless audio streaming quality is top-notch and matches some of the aptX powered earphones around. 

And for gamers, the Realme Buds Wireless Pro supports a low latency gaming mode that significantly reduces the in-game audio delay, offering near-perfect gaming audio performance. 

Battery Life

The Realme Buds Wireless Pro is rated to last for up to 22 hours on a single charge. With ANC turned on you will get around 16 hours on a single charge. 

Since this device sports a USB type C charging port, it supports fast charging. With just five minutes of charging, you will be able to continue listening to music for up to 100 minutes. 

Verdict

The Realme Buds Wireless Pro is a state of the art in-ear wireless neckband type earphone with an active noise cancellation feature integrated.

• Long-lasting battery life
• Comfortable in-ear design

BUY FROM AMAZON

The Mi Neckband Pro is one of the most recent audio product launches from Xiaomi in the Indian market. 

Priced at just Rs.1,799, Mi Neckband Pro is on a mission to capture back some of the market share it has lost to Realme in the audio devices segment.

Loaded with the active noise cancellation (ANC) feature, how does the Mi neckband Pro stack up against its rivals? Let’s see.

Build Quality

The Mi Neckband Pro looks almost identical to many other neckband style earphones we have seen in the past. 

The rubber neckband portion with plastic end compartments has decent quality, to say the least. The neckband is flexible and comfortable enough to be worn around the neck for long periods at a stretch. 

The earpieces themselves look similar to that of the Redmi earphones but have an interesting pointy cap design on the right one and an indented cap design on the left.

All the control buttons on this wireless earphone are located on the right side of the end compartment. There is a micro-USB charging port hidden under a rubber flap on the right side. Unfortunately, Xiaomi missed out on adding a modern Type-C port.

There is only a minimal distortion in sound output even at higher volume levels with this earphone. The treble notes blend well with the vocals and the overall sound quality feels quite decent for the price. 

Active Noise Cancellation

The Mi Neckband Pro is the cheapest wireless earphone in India with ANC on board. Xiaomi claims that this earphone can block ambient noises up to 25dB.

The performance with ANC turned on, as expected can be termed decent but not something groundbreaking. Along with ANC, Xiaomi has also added ENC (Environment Noise Cancellation).

Both the ANC and the ENC block out the background noise somewhat which is quite okay given the affordable price tag this earphone comes to the market with. 

Battery Life

The Mi Neckband Pro is powered by a 150mAh battery inside that is rated to last up to 20 hours of music playback with ANC turned on. 

Depending on the volume levels at which you are listening, expect this number to come down or go up.
