The earbuds are built around noise cancellation. Realme lists up to 55dB Ultra Depth ANC with a wide 5,000Hz reduction bandwidth, plus an Adaptive ANC mode that adjusts automatically based on surroundings. Sound is handled by a dual DAC driver system with Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification, LHDC codec support, 24-bit depth and a 192kHz sampling rate.

For calls, Realme is using a six-microphone array, three in each bud, with a bone-conduction voice pickup sensor and AI Call Noise Cancellation. The company claims wind noise reduction at speeds up to 10m/s. Other features include 3D spatial audio, personalized sound tuning, live translation in more than 30 languages through the Realme Link app, and a 45ms low-latency mode aimed at gaming.

Battery life is rated at up to 12 hours per charge, and up to 50 hours with the case when using AAC with ANC off. With ANC and LHDC on, the total drops to around 20 hours. The buds support connections to three devices at once, carry an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, and will come in Master Black and Master White.

Health sensors cover heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep analysis, menstrual cycle tracking, and ambient noise alerts. The case is 5ATM water resistant, supports wet-hand touch, weighs 32g and is 11.8mm thick.

Realme 16T will also launch alongside these two new devices.
