The OPPO Enco Free 2 and OPPO Enco Air Lite true wireless stereo earbuds have been spotted on OPPO’s HeyMelody app ahead of their launch in India. At least one of them is expected to be launched alongside the Oppo Reno 7, Oppo Reno 7 Pro, and Oppo Watch Free in India sometime in January (via 91mobiles).

It was also reported that the next-gen TWS earphones will cost similar to the OPPO Enco X that currently retail for Rs. 9,990. Both the earbuds offerings are to be launched separately but within Q1 2022. A December launch seems a bit too difficult to be realized.

To recall, the OPPO Enco Free 2 TWS earbuds have already been launched back in May in China. Therefore, we already have its entire spec sheet. The earbuds offer a total playback time of 30 hours with the charging case and up to 4 hours with ANC turned on without the case. The 4 hours can be stretched to 6.5 hours if ANC is turned off. The charging case packs a 480mAh battery that’s used to fill up the 41mAh batteries in the earbuds. The case can be charged to 100% through a USB Type-C port.

Apart from this, the Oppo Enco Free 2 TWS earbuds support Bluetooth 5.2, automatic connection once paired, and wear detection. An IP54 rating is present for protection against the elements and the earbuds also double up as a remote shutter.

The OnePlus Buds has a companion app that allows you to configure the earbuds, find them, and also receive firmware updates that bring new features. However, the app is only compatible with select OnePlus phones (OnePlus 6 and up). This means that owners of older OnePlus phones or non-OnePlus phones who pick up OnePlus TWS earbuds will miss out on these features.

OnePlus has now released a new app called HeyMelody that allows owners of older OnePlus phones or non-OnePlus phones to enjoy some of the aforementioned features including firmware updates.

The HeyMeldoy app can be installed on any Android device running Android Marshmallow and up. While it is a OnePlus app, it works not only with the OnePlus Buds and OnePlus Buds Z but also with the newly-announced OPPO Enco X and OPPO Enco W51 earbuds.

Users will be able to pair their earbuds to their phones using the app, check the battery level of each earbud and charging case, and also receive firmware updates.

The app is still in development and may be unstable but if you are willing to give it a try, you can download it here.
