Oppo Enco Air3 Pro True Wireless in Ear Earbuds with Industry First Composite Bamboo Fiber, 49dB ANC, 30H Playtime, 47ms Ultra Low Latency,Fast Charge,BT 5.3 (White)

I can only do justice if I compare this with my other TWS earphones (which I proudly owned but sadly also left behind at a hotel recently) and which I also consider the benchmark in the under Rs. 5k category at least till July 2023 : My dark blue coloured Realme Buds Air 3. It had great ANC, simultaneous 2 device connection, etc etc. These earphones also offer all this and more. I bought this because I needed good ANC and this was the only logical choice. It is only my second day with this and I think I have not made any mistake by buying this. Pros: a) Noise cancellation is a better than Realme buds air 3. b) However, what takes the cake is the call quality which is much much much better than the Realme TWS, on all 3 fronts - regular phone call and WhatsApp audio call as well as WhatsApp video call. This is the clincher. Maybe because of the bigger drivers? I don’t know, I am no audiophile otherwise I would be using Apple AirPods with my iPhone 13 and not these Rs. 5k earbuds. c) The surround sound type feature in the Hey Melody app is awesome. Real stereo effect. Loving it. d) The case looks like my Realme Buds Air 3 case, easy to slip in even inside a jeans pocket. Very nifty. Has a semi transparent cap and that looks pretty good. e) You can open and close the case with one hand. The Land R are visible prominently as well. Battery life is good, I haven’t charged it since receiving the product yesterday but have used it quite a bit and it is still going strong! Cons: a) A price of Rs. 5000 is still high and just plain greedy by Oppo. A price tag of Rs. 4000 would have been more apt, but well, they are skimming the market because the nearest competition is more than one year old Realme Buds air 3 (which is still the best product after this pair even today). b) Why no black or blue or red options? What is this fascination with pudine ki chatni green? I bought white because it would look a little awkward to use pudina flavoured earphone at my workplace. Not exactly corporate! c)The white coloured pair Looks like a copy of the Apple AirPods from a distance (Maybe some people will call this a Pro and not a Con). Sudhar jaao China waalon! d) My Realme TWS felt a little lighter (although this too is very light) and fit slightly better too. But this is something about your ear getting used too. Happens with every new TWS. I have had super heavy Lenovo and Boat TWS without complaining in the years before. It is just that Realme Buds air 3 has spoiled me over the last year. Immaterial features: a) Game mode? What nonsense, no serious gamer uses Bluetooth based earphones. b) latency, bamboo, and what not: How do I care? The sound should be good, Period. Bamboo products should be cheaper! There you go. Tried to write a very real review. Hope this helps you make a decision. All the best!

The ANC works well. The quality of sound is good. Once you download the heymelody app you get options to set touch controls according to your preference. The finishing of the case is good. But it is slippery so it is advisable to buy a good case or cover. The only drawback is there is no digital display of battery. So no way to know how much percentage of charging remains. You can see how much battery still available only through app.

I have used JBL, Creative headphones and a fan of simple oneplus bullets z given their comfortable neckband and easy to use with good quality sound. That being said , have tried OnePlus buds when they were initially launched and immediately regretted it. The TWS that time was evolving in market and getting in budget segment simply doesn't make sense if are audiophile and prefer the good quality sound. After being sceptical for so long to choose a tws or not, finally thought to give this a try after a lot research given the price range. I must say I immediately like the audio from this. The sound quality is great. The dual connection with my macbook and Android phone is seamless. No issues so far. This is very early review. If anything changes will update. I know a lot of people start going Gaga over the case itself the design and all. But TWS I think the most important is the comfort, audio, mic quality, ANC, battery and App features. Update --- These are very comfortable so no issues in that segment. You can wear it for long hours without any issues but HIGHLY recommend to not use the ANC mode for long hours or on high volume. In my experience, 60% is good enough volume level The app Hey Melody have features to scan and adjust Sound quality based on ear scan so recommend to immediately set it up based on your ear. Controls configuration could have been slightly better but it's alright. LDAC and hi res is supported which is best in segment. Equaliser can be choosen from given preset values. The balanced is default which is perfect in my preference. I immediately got the firmware update, so that's good part. Over-all the app features are good and useful. Spatial audio does make some changes so can say it is not gimmick but I think you need to find the videos which supports it, like in Netflix. Update -- The mic quality during calling is decent, the other party sometimes did complain that they couldn't hear me, but that happens if you use single piece on either of your ear. Didnot find issue while using airbuds on both ears. But I think no other tws gives great quality so this one is also decent. Coming to ANC, I think the best in the segment and immediately turned on as soon as you put it in your ears. With ANC you can block say 70% noise like fan or distant sounds. It's good in that, if you switch to Max Anc setting, you can block say about 50 percent of noise of someone is taking near you. Now all of this is when you have not start listening to music. The moment you start listening music it's become better. So ANC is good in the price segment. The transparency mode is good and worked the way it's supposed to do but it's not entirely natural obviously. You do feel the sound coming from outside is little muffeled in this mode but it's alright, you can't expect it to Apple Airpods level. The battery I would say last about 5ish hrs with AnC on Max. The case charges the buds quickly which is great. The battery is over all good if tweak the settings little bit and don't listen with full blast audio. Over-all this is really great so far. If you have the budget 5K and then go for it

I bought these mainly for calling, and they have exceeded my expectations. The microphones reduce background noise very well, making voice calls clear. Music quality is also excellent with punchy bass and detailed sound.

I used Oppo Enco X2 before I lost them and now shifted to these pair of earbuds. X2 was another level but I'll try not to be biased. I'll list out my points and you can judge on your own how air3 pro has performed. 1. Design and comfort - they're lightweight and very comfortable. Most of the times I don't realise I'm wearing them. 2. Battery backup - it's good when LHDC, ANC and Hi-res are turned off (easily 5 hrs). But ANC, LHDC turned on I don't think I've gotten more than 3-3.5 hrs. Hi-res mode bleeds the battery dry really fast so not recommended for long usage. I'm not completely satisfied with the battery life but provided it has such great sound quality, battery backup is going to suffer. Charging speed is okay. 10 mins quick charge didn't give me anywhere close to 2 hrs, more like 10-15mins (ANC off). 3. ANC - It's pretty average. Enough to drown out fan and other noises in the room but I can hear muffled sounds when someone is playing something on the phone or having low decibel conversations beside me. I'd say it's not upto the mark in outside environments but good enough to work indoors. 4. Sound quality - This is the best part. Sound quality is amazing, good bass that doesn't bleed into the mids too much. Bass boost EQ mode is amazing. Hi-res mode turned on makes the music come alive. I'm really happy with the sound quality. Great for playing pop, hip hop and R&B. Decent for rock and metal. 5. Transparency mode is great. That was one of the complaints I had from X2 but here they have done a good job here. 6. Multipoint connectivity works flawlessly. I've tried phones, linux laptop and windows laptop. It has in-ear detection FYI. 7. Call and mic quality - It performed okay in windy and noisy conditions. People have told me they hear a slight reverberation when I'm on a call. So not as great as they have advertised, just like the ANC. 8. Tap gestures - they work well and are customisable. I like tap gestures because they're faster than pinch ones in other earbuds. No accidental touches while I'm lying in the pillow with the earbuds on. But you'll have to train yourself to only touch the stem of the earbud for doing any physical adjustments. (PLEASE SEE EDIT #3) One very annoying feature is that every time I switch from ANC to transparency (or vice-versa) I get the voice prompt of the switch made rather than a simple tone. They should remove this in future updates. Overall, it's a feature packed pair of earbuds that tried to incorporate everything in a tight budget. It was a good attempt but besides the great sound quality, nothing stands out much. I really care about the sound quality so I got these. So if you're someone who is looking for a little bit of everything in a budget this is for you. If you really care a lot about ANC and call quality, these won't work for you. In fact, none of the earbuds would work in this price point. I'm still testing out the battery life because I see a lot of drainage (I'll change my rating if it doesn't perform well). EDIT 1: Changing my rating from 5 to 4 stars because of the battery life. I'm not sure these earbuds are that futureproof because battery drain problem only gets worse with time and usage. EDIT 2: Had to return this pair because quick charge was also not working for some reason and the case battery would never charge above 90% I will place another order for the same item. EDIT 3: Changed my review to 1 star. I placed an order for another pair. This pair was riddled with accidental touches (which was not the case with my previous order). Everytime I sleep on the pillow they detect a touch. Even just a slight contact with the pillow triggers the touch gesture so essentially they are useless. The battery life is bad and quick charge doesn't work on this one too (only charges to 10% in 10 mins and hardly gives 10-15 mins worth of battery life) and honestly no amount of good quality sound can save this product now. At this point if I have ordered a product twice and both of them turn out defective, I have no hopes for it. Avoid buying these earbuds for the lack of quality control. Plus quality of any TWS earbuds will only worsen over time. This is performing so bad at the beginning, imagine how it will perform 6 months down the line. Save your money and wait for something better to come out. What I'm really grateful for is Amazon offering a return on this.

Day 1 Review: Sound: A source of joy at higher volumes. Bass - Nicely done. Delivers deep and punchy bass. The sub-bass and low-end rumble are incomplete but sound clear. Mids - Clear vocals above 50% volume. It needs more amping to sound energetic. Sounds exquisite at 70% but the battery backup and long-term hearing then take a hit. Highs - Comfortable and well-wrapped. Hint of sibilance which can easily be worked out with the various software modes through the companion Hey Melody app. Not fatiguing. Tuning - Well balanced. They sound good right out of the box and sound better if tuned for a custom profile using the Golden-Sound feature. Similar to custom sound profile in few high-end smartphones which boost frequencies which the ears cannot perceive easily. You know these are tuned well when enabling Dolby Atmos does not add a lot to the experience, and readjusting EQ only takes away from its balanced sound quality while colouring the sound in a less-than-ideal manner. Comfort: Like a well-fitting glove. Easily wore these for 2 hours at a stretch with the smallest sized silicone ear tips. They are comfortable. While I don't recommend these as sleep-earphones, can side-sleep while having them on without much discomfort. Glossy finish all the way. Battery: Mileage of a sportscar. Reducing a star for the unimpressive battery backup. When you make something sound good, the customer wants to listen to them for longer. It does not help when the battery drops from 70% to 20% in just 3 hours. ANC and LDAC accelerate the drop much more. Even with ANC on and AAC as the codec, the battery backup is unacceptably low. Not returning only because of the sound and comfortable fit. Frequent charging will be required. Software features: Jack of all trades. ANC works well and offers various levels including an adaptive mode. While not perfect or even the best, the personalized ANC does reduce ambient noise such that the listening experience is elevated. Touch controls are spot on and also customizable. Support for LDAC makes a noticeable difference when listening to HiRes audio source while massively sacrificing listening time. The joy is taken away when the earphones die while enjoying good quality music and you're still only halfway through the day. Dual device pairing is an nifty feature. Value for money: Not at all. Another star taken away because these should not cost more than four thousand, given the competition has some great products. TWS from BBK's other brands, Sony, Blaupunkt, LG and also a host of audiophile Chi-Fi brands with bluetooth DACs offer a better value proposition. In summary, these sound good, and they should at five grand. Recommended for music lovers who do not mind frequently charging their earphones.

The sound quality is excellent with deep bass and clear vocals. The battery easily lasts for days with normal use, and the fast charging is really helpful. The earbuds are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Definitely one of the best TWS options in this price range.

Perfect ifnyou want natural audio and a perfect mix of real time anc don't listen to people's opinions on sound anc etc just get it and you will love it tho make sure use it safely 😜. However you won't get audio alive support in app as it's locked in india till now only available in china so no spatial audio until next updates
