What reviewers said

Aipower Wearbuds

The Aipower Wearbuds combine true wireless earbuds with a wristband-style charging case, offering solid audio quality and comfortable fit.

  • Pro:Comfortable fit with easy touch volume controls
  • Pro:Unique wristband charging case concept
  • Con:Charging case/wristband is awkward to use
  • Con:Hybrid design feels unfinished and cumbersome
  • Con:Short total battery life of 12 hours with case

OPPO Enco Air5 Pro

  • Pro:13-hour battery per earbud, 54 hours with case
  • Pro:Supports high-quality LHDC codec
  • Con:No wireless charging, only USB-C
  • Con:Sensitivity at 122 dB may be too high for some
  • Con:Touch controls may be accidentally triggered
