realme Buds Air 3

[Jonas]

I would any day suggest a wired headphone for professional calls. I personally use a Poly Blackwire headset. It can even eliminate the noise of a mixer grinder running in the background.

However, if you have a lavalier mic, you can use these earbuds along with it. I think @mikrotik uses one.

I made a conscious decision when I chose Air Buds 3 over Oppo Enco 2 Pro. Here are the reasons:

1. Design: Enco 2 Pro's stem is longer, I don't like it
2. Dual connectivity: The execution is better on Buds 3
3. Audio: I don't like to admit it, but I am a bass-head
4. Mic: I knew I am not buying a TWS earphone for taking calls

But, I have to agree that Oppo's mic quality is WAY BETTER.

The wind noise cancelation feature works surprisingly well. I was traveling in an auto, and tested it. When you enable this mode, you would be able to hear the rest of the noises (as it is prompted in the app when you enable it), but wind noises are significantly reduced.

My long-term review of these earbuds is the following:

1. Good sound quality for the price - music listening
2. Crappy mic quality - just unacceptable
3. Annoying dual device connectivity

No matter how much I avoid taking calls using these earbuds, I sometimes have to and the other person complains that the audio is cracking, is loud and the worst they've ever heard. I've noticed that if the buds are connected to two devices, this becomes more prominent. Any neckband would have a better mic quality compared to these.

The dual device connectivity gets annoying. If I am driving and following map directions, if my laptop happens to be connected with these buds as well, it will not play the map directions on the earbuds. Even if there's nothing else that's playing on the laptop, which is in the back seat. It will simply refuse to prioritize maps on the phone. There are many other instances when this happens.

Honestly speaking, I think I would get a neckband because the cons outweigh the pros. iPhones have a noise cancellation feature during calls, and if you're using a neckband or any decent earphones, it works very well.

I feel that I've wasted my money.

Any suggestions for some other buds within 10k INR.
Confused btw Galaxy buds pro and OnePlus buds pro.
Leaning more towards OnePlus buds pro cause I like their design and don't think galaxy buds pro will for properly.
Mic quality for both seems the same.
