What reviewers said

OPPO Enco Air5 Pro

The OPPO Enco Air5 Pro are true wireless earbuds with 12mm drivers and hybrid active noise cancellation, offering a versatile listening experience. Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint connectivity, and IP55 water resistance make them practical for daily use.

  • Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for immersive listening
  • 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

OPPO Enco Buds3 Pro

The OPPO Enco Buds3 Pro are budget-friendly true wireless earbuds that stand out primarily for their exceptional battery life—offering 12 hours per charge and up to 54 hours with the case. They provide a comfortable fit, stable Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, and useful features like multipoint pairing and a custom EQ, though their sound leans bass-heavy and isn't the strongest point. Overall, they're a solid value pick for endurance-focused listeners rather than audiophiles.

  • Pro:Outstanding battery life (12h per charge, 54h total)
  • Pro:Excellent value for the price
  • Pro:Comfortable and lightweight design (4.3g per bud)
  • Con:Bass-heavy sound tuning may not suit all tastes
  • Con:No active noise cancellation or transparency mode
  • Con:Single microphone limits call quality in noisy environments
