The package includes the Buds Z earbuds inside the case, Type-C cable, extra eartips, and the instruction manual. Three color options are available for the Buds Z: Leaf, Pearl, and Onyx which is our review unit.
The Buds Z is also affordable wireless earbuds that are not to be confused with the realme earbuds. The design of the case is compact and lightweight, with a matte surface finish. The bottom side features a USB Type-C charging port, while the front has an LED indication and a DIZO branding.
The earbuds look amazing, the outer shell shines its dazzling colors when struck by light thanks to its Natural Light Design. Its earbuds are comfortable to use thanks to the soft silicone eartips.
The bottom side features charging connectors, while the front features touch controls for managing music, calls, and mode switching. Each earbud weighs 3.7 grams and features an IPX4 water-resistant build that withstands spills and splashes.
Features and Connectivity
The Buds Z is equipped with 10mm dynamic bass boost drivers, which provide good sound quality. Additionally, it features ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and a transparency mode, which are often seen on high-end wireless earbuds. The Buds Z features ENC (Environment Noise Cancellation), a passive noise cancellation technology, in addition to an 88ms Super Low Latency mode that provides lag-free audio and is ideal for online gaming.
Gesture-based touch controls on the Buds Z let you play, pause, and skip tracks using your fingers. The music can be played or paused with a double-tap gesture on the earbud, and the song can be changed with a triple-tap. Pressing and holding (on either side) reject the call, while pressing and holding both sides at the same time activates the Game mode (Super Low Latency).
It connects wirelessly using Bluetooth 5.0, and pairing takes just a few seconds after you open the case, allowing you to swiftly pair your smartphone. You can use the realme app link app to customized the Buds Z EQ presets touch control, and more.
Audio Performance
The Bass Boost+ function of the Buds Z improves sound quality by boosting the bass, thanks to the 10 mm dynamic bass boost drivers. Once paired, the realme Link app offers the option to enable this feature.
When it comes to audio quality, the Buds Z delivers clear bass and vocals, with good mids and high. Playing my playlist at a volume level of about 50% to 60% indoors was pleasant and reasonably loud. While at 70% to 80% volume level outdoors with ANC is still comfortable, I was able to enjoy listening to mostly light and easy rock songs, the Beatles collection, Chill Mix, and some relaxing classics such as Mozart.
The Buds Z passive-active noise cancellation performance is marginally greater than compared to other TWS, reducing ambient noise indoors and outdoors. Even at low volumes, a reasonable reduction in wind noise proved helpful. ENC mode works great and does not sound forced.
Battery Life
The 380mAh battery in the case and the 43mAh battery in each earbud give the Buds Z a total playtime of 16 hours on a full charge. The earbuds can be used for 4.5 hours before needing to be recharged.
