The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
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 HD is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
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.

The noise cancellation is definitely better

The sound and its quality are better than their predecessors, and they also have more defined bass, but the best thing is that their ambient mode is truly clearer. With the Realme Air 3, the ambient mode was hardly noticeable, but with these, there is no doubt that you can feel it

Mix of Good and Bad Sensations

Good Part: The sound is really beyond expectations. Given its cost, it's impressive indeed, even with the factory tune which is heavily bass-heavy nothing overpowers it. There is an equalizer in the app, but it is quite limited. There is a fitting sensor on the earpiece, which is really cool. The transparency mode with voice clarity is really cool as well. Could be better: The earbuds themselves have an okay design, neither ugly nor beautiful, pretty generic. The commands are acceptable, although I've seen better. The case is large, but as it has great battery life it's okay, the command selection on the earbuds is pre-set, not the worst but it could give more autonomy to the user. Flaws: The ergonomics of the earbuds are awful, the eartips that come with the set are shallow and do not isolate anything. The eartips that work best are twice the size and do not fit in the case, which ruins the whole user experience. I've never had earbuds so difficult to use, then there is another problem that I can't tell if it's really poor quality or just a bad fit. Even though the app informs that the fitting in the ear is good, the noise cancellation is weak, for instance, when I use the 1more colorbuds 2 and moondrop space travel I find them much better, and the space travel advertises fewer decibels on noise cancellation, which in practice I find the opposite.
