Is the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro worth the upgrade from the Soundcore Sport X10?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Soundcore Sport X10 to the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro buys you 20.4 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in value (4.8 to 9.0), noise cancelling (5.3 to 9.0) and battery (6.6 to 9.0). On paper: battery life 8 h to 13 h, codecs SBC, AAC to SBC, AAC, LHDC and bluetooth 5.2 to 6.0. Worth checking: microphones goes 6 to 3. It's also $11 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.
