Realme has brought the Buds T500 Pro to Indonesia with a feature set that stands out in the affordable TWS segment. At a price in the Rp300,000 range, the earbuds combine ANC up to 50dB, AI Live Translator, and a long battery life, placing them among the more feature-rich options for daily listening and calls.
The product is positioned for users who want more than a basic pair of earbuds. Realme is targeting people who listen to music on the move, take frequent calls, and want stronger noise control without moving into a higher price bracket.
A compact design with a more expressive look
Realme uses a candy box design for the Buds T500 Pro, giving the product a compact shape while keeping the appearance stylish. The earbuds come in three color choices: Lemon Cola, Orange Mint, and Liquor Chocolate.
That color lineup gives the model a more playful identity, which helps it stand out in a segment where many products follow similar design patterns. For younger users in particular, the visual approach adds another layer of appeal beyond the specifications.
Large driver, stronger sound direction
For audio output, the Buds T500 Pro uses a 12.4 mm driver. Realme says the larger driver helps create wider air movement, which is intended to deliver deeper bass and a more powerful sound character.
This setup is paired with active noise cancellation, making the earbuds more suitable for focused listening in crowded environments. The combination is aimed at users who want music playback that feels fuller during commutes or other daily activities.
Noise cancellation and call support take the spotlight
The most prominent feature on the Buds T500 Pro is ANC up to 50dB. That level of noise reduction is designed to help users cut down surrounding distractions and listen with greater comfort.
For phone calls, Realme includes six microphones with AI noise cancellation. The system is meant to reduce background noise so the user’s voice remains clearer during conversations.
AI Live Translator adds an unusual extra
Beyond audio and call features, the Buds T500 Pro also includes an AI-based Live Translator. The feature allows users to understand another speaker in real time even when different languages are being used.
In the TWS category below Rp500,000, that kind of live translation tool is still uncommon. Its inclusion gives the Buds T500 Pro a practical edge for users who communicate across languages more often.
Long battery life and daily durability
Battery performance is another part of the appeal. Realme claims the Buds T500 Pro can last up to 56 hours in total, including the charging case.
The earbuds also carry an IP55 rating, which means they are protected against dust and water splashes. That makes them more suitable for workouts and outdoor use than models without similar protection.
Price and launch offers
Realme has set the official price of the Buds T500 Pro at Rp499.000. During the flash sale period from 12-14 May 2026 at 10.00 WIB, the earbuds will be available at Rp399.000.
Orange Mint and Liquor Chocolate will be sold through Shopee, TikTok Shop, Tokopedia, Lazada, Blibli, and Akulaku. Lemon Cola is exclusive to Erafone stores and comes with a Rp100.000 cashback promotion during the same period.
