I’ve bought these twice, years apart, and that repeat purchase is the review. When a ₹500 thing dies and your instinct is to just buy the same one again, it was the right thing to begin with.
The sound is genuinely good for the money — enough bass to be fun, clear enough to not be tiring. But the underrated part is the braided cable: it doesn’t tangle into knots in a pocket, and it doesn’t fray at the jack the way rubber cables always do. That’s usually what kills cheap earphones, and it’s exactly what Realme fixed.
Wired earphones are unfashionable now, and I don’t care. No battery to die mid-call, no pairing dance, nothing to charge. There’s a 3rd version out that I haven’t tried — if it kept the cable, it’s probably still the easy budget pick.
