Oppo today launched the Oppo Enco Air 5s in China, alongside the Reno 16 series and Oppo Pad 6. Much like a lot of audio launches lately, Oppo is betting on AI features and ecosystem tricks as the main draw of the earbuds. 

The Enco Air 5s come in Moonlight White, Midnight Black, and Starlight Purple finishes. The earbuds adopt a semi-in-ear design and weigh just 3.9 grams each. Oppo says the shape is designed to fit different ear types comfortably while still offering “good noise cancellation” despite not using a fully sealed in-ear fit.

The Enco Air 5s features a 12mm dynamic driver and supports dual-channel stereo sound. Oppo has also added adaptive sound optimization and spatial audio effects, which the company says can create a more immersive listening experience.

For noise management, the earbuds support intelligent switching between deep noise cancellation, light noise cancellation, and transparency modes. There’s also a three-microphone setup with AI-backed ENC call noise reduction. Oppo claims the earbuds use flagship-level voice noise cancellation algorithms to improve call clarity in noisy environments.

Battery and Connectivity

Like many recent Oppo launches, the Enco Air 5s pushes ecosystem connectivity almost as much as audio quality. The earbuds support dual-device connection, allowing users to stay connected to two devices at once, and Oppo says they work with both Android and Apple devices.

The earbuds also include sliding volume controls, remote camera functionality, AI translation, AI assistant support, and audio sharing features. Oppo is additionally promoting cross-device switching between supported products within its ecosystem.

The Enco Air 5s uses Bluetooth 6.0 and supports a wireless range of up to 10 meters. The earbuds are also rated IP55 for dust and water resistance.

Moreover, Oppo says the earbuds can deliver up to nine hours of playback on a single charge and up to 48 hours total with the charging case under default settings. With active noise cancellation enabled, battery life drops to 4.5 hours on the earbuds and 25 hours with the charging case.

The charging case packs a 530mAh battery and charges through USB Type-C. Oppo says a full recharge of both the case and earbuds takes around 90 minutes. The company has also included TÜV Rheinland-certified battery durability claims.

Pricing and availability

The Oppo Enco Air 5s is currently available in China through Oppo’s official channels and partner retailers. The Moonlight White and Midnight Black variants are priced at 269 yuan (~$37) during the introductory sale, while the Starlight Purple version costs 299 yuan (~$41). Regular pricing is 299 yuan (~$41) and 329 yuan (~$45), respectively.

Oppo is preparing to launch a new pair of wireless earbuds later this month, and the company seems to be focusing heavily on comfort.

The upcoming Oppo Enco Air5s will officially launch in China on May 25, and from the teasers released so far, the earbuds stick with a semi-in-ear design instead of the more isolating silicone-tip style seen on many recent TWS models.

One of the main highlights is the weight. Oppo says each earbud weighs just 3.9 grams, which should make them more comfortable for longer listening sessions, especially for users who dislike bulky in-ear designs. The earbuds will be available in three colors: Midnight Black, Starlight Purple, and Moonlight White.

Even though the design is semi-in-ear, Oppo is still promising fairly strong call noise reduction performance. The Enco Air5s use a three-microphone setup combined with AI-based voice processing that is designed to better isolate speech in noisy environments like cafés, dorms, or outdoor areas with wind noise.

For audio, the earbuds are equipped with a 12mm dynamic driver, and Oppo is also advertising features like spatial audio and adaptive sound tuning. As usual, the real-world audio quality will matter more than the feature list, but the hardware itself sounds fairly competitive for the segment.

The company is also adding a handful of convenience features that feel aimed at younger users and students. That includes dual-device connectivity, sliding touch controls for volume adjustment, audio sharing, and support for AI-related features like live translation and assistant integration.

Interestingly, Oppo is also emphasizing compatibility with both Android and Apple devices rather than focusing only on its own ecosystem.

Battery life and official pricing still have not been confirmed yet, so those details will likely be saved for the launch event itself.

At least from the early teasers, the Enco Air5s look less focused on being lightweight, comfortable earbuds that people can just wear all day without thinking too much about them.
