What reviewers said
OPPO Enco X3s
The OPPO Enco X3s are well-rounded true wireless earbuds that offer a solid feature set, comfortable fit, and capable hybrid ANC for their price point. While they deliver good audio quality and dependable everyday usability, they don't quite surpass the best competitors in their class, with slightly underwhelming noise cancellation and a sound signature that lacks some excitement. Overall, they're a compelling midrange option, especially for those in the OPPO ecosystem, rather than a class leader.
- Pro:Comfortable and secure fit
- Pro:Good overall sound quality
- Pro:Solid feature set with multipoint and app support
- Con:ANC could be stronger
- Con:Sound lacks sparkle compared to rivals
- Con:Not a clear standout in a crowded market
Sony WF-1000XM5
These are high-end true wireless earbuds that focus on adaptive noise cancellation and detailed audio, supporting LDAC for high-resolution streaming. They offer a solid battery life of up to 12 hours without ANC, plus a comfortable fit and IPX4 sweat resistance for daily use.

- Pro:Excellent adaptive noise cancellation
- Pro:Long battery life (12 hours without ANC)
- Pro:Supports LDAC and AAC codecs
- Con:Premium price point
- Con:No higher water resistance rating than IPX4
- Con:Touch controls may take time to master
