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

TinHifi TinBuds 3

The TinHifi TinBuds 3 are a feature-light, audiophile-leaning true wireless option that prioritizes sound quality over extras like ANC, app support, or wireless charging. With a single 6mm dynamic driver and support for aptX Adaptive, they deliver a clear, mid-focused sound, but their performance is marred by a noticeable hiss, lackluster battery life, and a bulky case. They're a decent choice for those who value a wired-like tuning in a wireless form, but they're not a standout in their price range.

  • Pro:Comfortable and well-built shells
  • Pro:Clear, mid-focused sound with aptX Adaptive support
  • Pro:Compact and lightweight earbuds at 6.2g each
  • Con:Noticeable hiss and poor connectivity
  • Con:Battery life of 6.5 hours is below average
  • Con:Bulky charging case and no wireless charging
