OPPO’s Enco Air3s earbuds bring an impressive blend of features and affordability to the Philippine market, appealing to casual listeners and gamers alike.
With 13.4mm large composite drivers and the Cadence HiFi 5 DSP chip, these earbuds deliver a robust audio experience, particularly for those prioritizing clarity and depth in music playback.
Although active noise cancellation (ANC) is absent, OPPO compensates with AI-powered DNN technology for clearer calls, even in noisy surroundings. This makes them a viable choice for professionals needing reliable call quality on the go.
Battery life is another strong suit. The Enco Air3s provide up to six hours of continuous use per earbud, and a total of 25 hours with the charging case.
This longevity easily meets daily demands, whether for commutes, workouts, or extended gaming sessions. Gamers will also appreciate the ultra-low 47ms latency over Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring lag-free audio synchronization during intense gaming moments.
Practical design elements, like the IP54 dust and splash resistance rating, add durability, making these earbuds a trustworthy companion for active users. The Champagne Gold finish adds a touch of elegance to the overall package.
However, users seeking advanced features like ANC or customizable sound profiles may find these earbuds less appealing.
Despite this, the OPPO Enco Air3s stand out in their price range, offering excellent sound quality, extended battery life, and low-latency performance — a compelling choice for those seeking value without compromising essentials.
