These are very good headphones for the price. They are very comfortable and you won't notice them after a while. The active noise cancelling (ANC) is very high and isolates you completely from the outside world once you start playing music. I tried them in a very noisy shopping mall with music and everything and was amazed that they completely blocked out the noise.
I compared them to the Sony WF-1000XM5 and there is essentially no difference. I felt that these Realme headphones isolated me more than the Sony pair, in addition to being more comfortable. The only thing that falls short is the touch controls, but they do the basics well.
The bass is fantastic, with bass boost mode, my ears were rumbling!
Recommendation: clean the entries of the earphones and the microphones with a swab and a little alcohol every month. It's not that the headphones get dirty or anything... it's a recommendation to extend the life of your headphones and keep their features intact, like the ANC, and to maintain flawless audio.
Pros
Good battery life.
Good design.
Good sound (Excellent sound codecs AAC and LDAC).
Good ANC (completely isolates you; the best I've tried so far).
Extremely comfortable.
Available for iPhone and Android.
Minimalist app, easy to understand.
Bluetooth 5.3 (almost no delay between the headphones and the device).
Good connection (Once you take out the headphones from the box, they connect to the cell phone, always ready to listen to music).
360° spatial audio (You may not notice it as you get used to it, but there is a difference if you activate and deactivate it while playing a song).
Cons
No wireless charging (not many people use wireless charging so it doesn't matter).
Lack of touch controls (doesn't really affect anything).
The case can get scratched (consider buying a protector for it).

Still Missing Some Features

I've been using this product for 2 weeks and I can say it's the best value for your money on the market, not to mention the satisfaction it brings when I use it. I looked over the Realme Air Buds 5 Pro here on Versus, and there are still some features missing: it has detection for whether it's in the ear and possesses 360° surround sound.
I live on the coast of SP, a region that's right next to the beach. I can ride my bicycle along the beachfront and I don't even hear the sound of the wind, this is, of course, with the ANC activated and while listening to music.

This is a great sounding earbuds for its price and it looks premium and very comfortable to wear.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
These earbuds come with wingtips that can be attached for a more secure fit. Wingtips come in handy for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that allows sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. By doing so, Dolby Atmos allows for immersive, 360-degree sound.
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
The battery life of the charging case as given by the manufacturer. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your headphones on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
aptX Lossless is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 16-bit/44.1kHz audio (at a maximum bit rate of 1200kbps). This codec provides CD-quality audio without any loss of data.

Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your headphones/earbuds. Lower latency reduces audio lag, and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
Ambient sound mode uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.
Fast charging technologies, like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge or MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Multipoint allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
