bro my personal experience with realme buds pro 5 has been amazing. bought them at the time of launch and they are still working great no issue even after dropping them in water 2-3 times.

I don't use ANC, but it's okay, I guess. I don't have any reference point to give an opinion. But your phone should also have LDAC to use it. So overall, they are great for casual users like me.

The problem with your question is that the 2 products don't belong to the same category. Personally I like earbuds, and I have the realme air 5 pro, the sound quality is good 👍 I've had the Sony 720h before selling it because they are very bulky on the head and there was a plastic piece under the ear pad that touched and did hurt my right ear after a while. Without that, the sound quality is also okay after a bit of eq in the app. Built quality though... Meh to be polite. But you'll never have the same sensation with earbuds and headphones. Try both and return the one you like the least if possible 👍

absolutely not worth the price. The case battery life is about 2 charges to the earphones, they don't have anc, the sound quality is very regular, frequently get disconnected and interference.Right now I'm struggling with pairing them since they got unsynced from each other, WF-C500 are a better option on the price range but I would go with the Realme Airbuds Pro 5 or 6 if I was you. They are unbeatable for the money they cost.

I bought the Realme Buds Air 5 Pro in March 2024, and it’s been over 2 years now. The quality is still excellent—there’s been no noticeable drop in battery backup or sound quality. If you’re looking for a good pair of TWS earbuds, you can confidently go with the Realme Buds Air series. No issues at all.

Go for realme or oppo enco. I've been using realme air 5 pro for 2 years. Goated with LDAC.

I used the Realme air5 pro, currently have the Air6. I really don't like the touch and durability It's really bad. Sound quality is decent and anc is great. I am looking to switch any suggestions, my major usage is songs videos and calls.
