Earlier this month, Oppo had announced on social media that it would be releasing its first truly wireless earbuds. Now, the Oppo Enco Free has finally been unveiled alongside the Oppo Reno 3 series of smartphones in China.
Design
The design and form factor of the new TWS (true wireless) earbuds from Oppo is similar to Apple’s AirPods which also arrives with a charging case. However, the strip on the front carved with radium sets it apart by featuring the smartphone manufacturer’s branding. This strip also features an LED status indicator for the charging case and the case itself is charged via a USB Type-C charging cable.
The earbuds arrive in an identical cover to its carrying case and have a matte finish. Furthermore, a noise reduction microphone can be found on the outside which will allow for a better audio experience for users. Similar to the case, the earbuds also feature the iconic grey strip at the rear of its body.
Specs & Features
Oppo Enco Free weighs in at about 4.6 grams and holds the title of being the first true wireless earphones that utilize ultra-dynamic speakers. These speakers are equipped with dual magnetic circuit design and an FPC arm balance system that allows for a superior sound quality output. Notably, the earbuds can be used up to 25 hours in total if used alongside its charging case.
