Is the OPPO Enco Air5 Pro worth the upgrade from the SoundPEATS H3?
Verdict
Meaningful upgrade
The OPPO Enco Air5 Pro scores 5.0 points above the SoundPEATS H3. That's a real improvement, though not the kind you'd notice on every track. The gains are concentrated in battery (5.3 to 9.0), calls (5.6 to 8.0) and noise cancelling (8.1 to 9.0). You do give up ground on sound (9.0 to 8.0). On paper: bluetooth 5.4 to 6.0 and battery incl. case 37 h to 54 h. Worth checking: full charge time goes 60 min to 90 min and drivers per side goes 3 to 2. It's also $61 cheaper, which makes this an easy call. Worth doing if you're replacing anyway; harder to justify as a pure upgrade if what you have still works.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
