The Oppo Enco Air 5 takes a fairly straightforward approach to budget wireless earbuds: deliver strong noise cancellation, enjoyable sound, long battery life, and useful smart features without making the experience unnecessarily complicated. After spending time with them, it is clear that Oppo has focused more on getting the fundamentals right than chasing flashy extras.
The earbuds feature up to 52dB adaptive ANC, a 12mm dynamic driver, Bluetooth 6.1, triple-microphone call noise cancellation, dual-device connectivity, and up to 54 hours of total battery life.
5Features and connectivity
Bluetooth 6.1 provides stable connectivity, while dual-device connectivity lets the earbuds remain connected to two devices across Android, iOS, and Windows. This is particularly useful if you regularly move between a phone and laptop.
The HeyMelody app provides access to the EQ, ANC settings, touch controls, and other features on compatible devices. Oppo and OnePlus users get deeper integration directly through the system settings.
The earbuds also support Tap to Launch functions, including Spotify Tap, an AI voice assistant, and a camera shutter. AI Translate is another useful addition, although its availability and functionality depend on the supported phone and software.
For gaming, the dedicated low-latency mode can reduce earbud latency to as little as 47ms. It is a useful addition for mobile gaming, particularly in titles where directional audio matters.
