Is the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro worth the upgrade from the Powerbeats Pro 2?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Powerbeats Pro 2 to the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro buys you 10.6 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in value (7.0 to 9.0) and noise cancelling (8.2 to 9.0). On paper: battery life 10 h to 13 h, codecs AAC to SBC, AAC, LHDC and bluetooth 5.3 to 6.0. Worth checking: battery life (anc on) goes 8 h to 7 h and wireless charging goes Yes to No. It's also $181 cheaper, which makes this an easy call. If your current pair is worn out or the gains line up with how you listen, this one is worth the money.
What actually changes
