Key points
- Realme released a Harry Potter edition of the Buds T500 Pro with a brown and gold theme.

- The limited edition costs INR6,999 in India, compared to INR3,199 for the standard model.
Realme announced a new Harry Potter edition of the Buds T500 Pro wireless earbuds yesterday. This limited-release product joins a recent smartphone launch in the same partnership.
The company collaborated with Warner Bros. on this design. It follows a previous Game of Thrones edition released last year. The new set features a brown and gold color scheme.
Distinctive case design and materials
The charging case uses a faux leather finish. This material improves grip and resists fingerprint smudges. It gives the device a premium feel in the hand.
The case resembles a small suitcase with a handle on top. It includes a lanyard connector and a shiny Hogwarts crest on the front. The lid hinge displays the phrase "Welcome to Hogwarts".
Earbud stems attract fingerprints easily
The earbuds themselves match the brown and gold theme. The stems are glossy and reflective, featuring the letter 'H'. However, this shiny surface smudges easily and requires frequent wiping.
The retail box is larger than typical earphone packaging. It includes the earbuds, case, lanyard, and extra ear tips. The lanyard is a knitted crossbody strap with an owl charm.
Price gap for special edition
The hardware features are identical to the standard Buds T500 Pro. However, the limited edition carries a significant price premium. In India, the standard model costs INR3,199.
The Harry Potter Edition is priced at INR6,999. This is more than double the cost of the regular version. Buyers can purchase it through Realme's official Indian website.
