Is the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro worth the upgrade from the Edifier NeoBuds Pro?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Edifier NeoBuds Pro to the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro buys you 20.6 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in value (4.3 to 9.0), battery (5.4 to 9.0) and noise cancelling (6.7 to 9.0). On paper: battery life 6 h to 13 h, weight 10.8 g to 4.4 g and bluetooth 5.0 to 6.0. Worth checking: full charge time goes 60 min to 90 min and microphones goes 6 to 3. It's also $73 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

About this verdict
