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 got this TWS earbuds for 3.2k after seeing a bunch of YouTubers call them the best option under 5k. Honestly, they're not wrong, but here’s my take.Sound Quality:The sound is pretty detailed, and the soundstage is good, with a balanced tone – nothing feels too boosted. That said, a lot of YouTubers hyped it up as perfect for audiophiles, but that was based on the original firmware. After the updates, the treble got balanced (it used to be a bit too high), so the sound quality isn’t as mind-blowing as those early reviews made it seem. But don’t get me wrong, it’s still solid. I got mine with the latest update, so this was my experience from the start.Best for Movies & Series:These earbuds really shine when watching movies and series. They capture every little detail, which makes the soundstage feel amazing. And remember, this is without even using LDAC! I can only imagine how much better they'd sound with it.Features & Compatibility:Here’s the catch: if you’re not using an Oppo or OnePlus phone, you’ll miss out on a few features like in-ear detection customization, camera control, and Dolby Atmos. These features are locked to those devices.Spatial Audio:Spatial audio is there, but it’s not super impressive. It gives a slight boost to the sound and improves staging a bit, especially for movies, but don’t expect anything mind-blowing.ANC (Active Noise Cancellation):The ANC is just okay. It works for low-level noises like fans or air conditioners, but it’s not great for louder environments.Transparency Mode:Transparency mode? It’s there, but honestly, you might be better off not using it. It works in some situations, but in most cases, it's not really necessary.LDAC & High-Resolution Audio:I’m using a Samsung phone that supports LDAC, and this TWS is supposed to support it too. But for some reason, I couldn’t get it to work on my phone. I even tried enabling it in the developer options, but no luck so far. So, no hi-res audio for me until I figure this out.Comfort & Build:These are super comfortable to wear for long periods, and the touch controls are responsive. The case is small and easy to carry around, but it has a glossy finish, which means it’ll probably get scratched up pretty easily. Something to keep in mind if you care about that.Conclusion:Overall, a great option if you’re looking for balanced sound with good quality. The features and ANC could be better, but for the price, they’re still a solid buy. If you’re into watching movies or series, these are fantastic because of the detailed soundstage – even without LDAC. Just watch out for that glossy case, as it can pick up scratches easily.
