Is the Powerbeats Pro 2 worth the upgrade from the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Powerbeats Pro 2 actually scores 10.6 points below the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on value (9.0 to 7.0) and noise cancelling (9.0 to 8.2). On paper: battery life (anc on) 7 h to 8 h, wireless charging and wear detection. Worth checking: battery life goes 13 h to 10 h and codecs goes SBC, AAC, LHDC to AAC. And it costs $181 more for a lower score, which is hard to justify on the data alone. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
