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)

The media could not be loaded. 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!

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 levelThe 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
