VP/Tech Review | realme Buds T310: All About That Bass and ANC
Heading to school or going to work? Whatever your answer, you’ll need a reliable audio device to accompany you through hours of traffic and commute. Meet the realme Buds T310, the newest addition to realme’s line of wireless earbuds following the realme Buds T300 from 2023.
If you want to know if the realme Buds T310 can upgrade your audio listening experience, join us as we dive into another edition of VP/Tech Review.
Build
The realme Buds T310 comes in three sleek colorways: Monet Purple, Vibrant Black, and Agile White. Each color sports a solid color Pantone with a texture that’s comfortable to touch. The unit we have sports the Vibrant Black variant that carries a sleek and minimal appearance.
Right off the bat, the earbuds easily fit into our ears thanks to their ergonomic design. We were even able to pick out the right size of ear tips for our ears to ensure that they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable even after hours of continuous usage.
As for its durability, the realme Buds T310 carries an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. This rating ensures that the earbuds can survive splashes and sweat from multiple directions.
Moreover, the buds even take advantage of the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology. This allows you to experience peak connectivity with a faster and more stable connection. It also has a Dual Device Connection feature that allows you to connect to two devices at the same time.
In 2024, who has the time to switch and reconnect your earbuds to another device when you need it? With the realme Buds T310, all you need is to connect your earbuds to both devices you’re using, and done. Thanks to its Dual Device Connection feature, you can now enjoy watching your favorite series from your tablet and answer a phone call on your phone without hassle.
Additionally, it supports intelligent touch controls that you can adjust in the realme Link app. We suggest downloading the realme Link App to fully utilize all the realme Buds T310’s capabilities. While you can enjoy the buds alone, having the app on your phone allows you to customize your experience to your liking.
Audio Quality and Bass
One of the most notable features of the realme Buds T310 comes from its 46dB Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC.) This hybrid ANC uses feedforward and feedback microphones to detect external sound waves and emits anti-noise waves to cancel noise up to 46 dB.
We can also notice a noticeable improvement in the realme Buds T310’s ANC versus its predecessor, realme Buds T300, only reaching 30dB. Having tested this Hybrid ANC in action, I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. Using the realme Link app, you can easily switch between adjustable three-level noise reduction modes depending on what works best for your case.
Moving on to its sound quality, the realme Buds T310 didn’t disappoint in producing crystal clear audio with a punchy bass. With its 12.44mm Dynamic Bass Driver, the audio quality from the buds was full and crisp even at high volume. It doesn’t sound like an empty can being hit which always brings a smile to my face when reviewing audio devices.
Furthermore, it also features a 360° Spatial Audio that gives a three-dimensional experience to your listening experience. This feature becomes even more notable during an intense gaming session. Think of an intense COD session when every little crackle counts to locate your opponent.
Low Latency
Tired of your audio not matching what you’re watching? The realme Buds T310 has a 45ms Super Low Latency capability that solves this problem. This Low Latency feature happens once game mode becomes enabled from the realme Link App.
After hours of intense RPG and MOBA gameplay, we found the audio performance to be nearly flawless, with every word on the screen smoothly aligning with the sound in your ears. We highly appreciated this low latency feature, especially when watching videos and playing games that are being driven by dialogues.
Battery
Wondering how long the realme Buds T310 could last? Understandable, who wants to get cut off in the middle of watching an intense scene from your favorite show, right? Well, the realme Buds T310 comes with a 58mAh battery per earbud and a 480mAh battery for the charging case.
At 50% volume and with ANC On, the buds can last up to 6 hours per charge, up to 24 hours of usage along with the charging case. Meanwhile, it can reach 9 hours of playback, up to 40 hours with the charging case if used at 50% volume with ANC Off.
This provides you with a long-lasting immersive audio experience throughout the day. Had the batteries inevitably run out, the realme Buds 310 supports Type-C charging to fill it back up. Based on our testing, you can get up to 5 hours of playback from the device from just 10 minutes of charging.
Overall Thoughts
For an affordable price, the realme Buds T310 provides superb ANC, a punchy bass, and top-notch sound quality.
