Is the Edifier NeoBuds Pro worth the upgrade from the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Edifier NeoBuds Pro actually scores 20.6 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 4.3) and battery (9.0 to 5.4). On paper: full charge time 90 min to 60 min, microphones 3 to 6 and wear detection. Worth checking: battery life goes 13 h to 6 h and weight goes 4.4 g to 10.8 g. And it costs $73 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.
