Is the SoundPEATS H3 worth the upgrade from the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro?
Verdict
Downgrade
The SoundPEATS H3 actually scores 5.0 points below the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. The gains are concentrated in sound (8.0 to 9.0). You do give up ground on battery (9.0 to 5.3) and calls (8.0 to 5.6). On paper: full charge time 90 min to 60 min, drivers per side 2 to 3 and microphones 3 to 6. Worth checking: bluetooth goes 6.0 to 5.4 and battery incl. case goes 54 h to 37 h. One caution: this steps down a line tier (Enco Air5 Pro to H3), and base models usually trade away tier features - check the codec and ANC rows above before trusting the score gap alone. And it costs $61 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
