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.
1Design and comfort
The Oppo Enco Air 5 has a compact charging case with a matte finish that does a good job of resisting fingerprints. The earbuds themselves have a glossy finish, however, so they pick up smudges more easily. The Lavender Purple version looks distinctive without being overly flashy, while Midnight Black is the more understated option.
Each earbud weighs around 4.3g, and the lightweight construction makes them comfortable for extended listening. The in-ear fit also provides a good seal, which is important for both passive isolation and ANC performance. The bundled silicone tips give you different sizing options to help achieve the right fit.
The earbuds carry an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, although the charging case is not rated for water resistance.
