On May 6, OPPO Enco Air true wireless headset was released together with OPPO K9 series, featuring Rhine low delay certification, translucent headphone cover and the co branded version of Assassin May 67, priced at 299 yuan (249 yuan for the first launch). How are you doing? Let's see now.

Bluetooth 5.2, the first TWS headset with Rhine low latency authentication

The price is 299 yuan (249 yuan for the first launch), and the customized version of May 67 is also 299 yuan
If you don't dislike its coquettish, I would recommend the customized version of May 67. After all, the same price is very large. In addition to the belief in Assassin May 67, this headset charging box, when taken out, has a reason to chat with the girl next to it.
Appearance accessories
Because it is a semi in ear type, OPPO Enco Air packaging is very environmentally friendly and does not need (do not have) silicone earmuffs.

The charging box of OPPO Enco Air is all finely sanded, comfortable to handle and easy to take care of, but the parting line on the side can be vaguely seen.
The translucent top cover, whose weight is concentrated in the middle and lower parts, feels like a tumbler (especially after the earphone is taken out), and also makes people feel that it is very light. It feels amazing. Although not Hikari, but love, I tell you.
On the black version, the characteristic translucent top cover (officially called the fruit freezer) is not obvious. If you like this feature, it is recommended to use the white or green version.
The damping of the cover is slightly large, and there is no virtual position. The reason may be that the lid is a lightweight single-layer design, and the closing force and loudness are large.
The earphones of OPPO Enco Air are made of bright materials, which are easy to scratch. It is bright in black, and it is not easy to find flowers. The outer part of the earphone handle has a touch function, and the seam control is very good. It is difficult to detect two parts of the earphone handle in the picture. Except for the parting line that seems to be deliberately exposed on the side sound hole and used as decoration, the workmanship is unexpectedly good, and the level is far higher than 299 yuan.
user's experience
Function: OPPO Enco Air most There are two features that need high EQ to be clear: no wear detection (no impact on music/video playing when you take it off or put it on), and no physical buttons in the charging box (no common pairing keys).
The former thinks that EQ is not enough to comment on. Without physical buttons, some components can be removed to make the charging box lighter and easier to make it highly waterproof, but the most important thing may be to save costs... Without connection, you can manually enter pairing mode by pressing two headphones for 4 seconds at the same time, and Samsung calls the insiders directly.
Wear: The OPPO Enco Air earphone body is a familiar shape with a slightly larger volume. After all, it is packed with 12mm units. The wearing feeling is not special. It is not easy to fall off. It supports the ears slightly.
Interaction: The volume can be adjusted, and everyone stands up! The three operation modes of "double click, triple click and long press" correspond to switching the previous/next song, playing/pausing, calling up the voice assistant and switching the game mode (low delay mode). Long press on the left and right ears can even adjust the volume. This setting is worth learning from all entry-level headset manufacturers.
The sensitivity and fault tolerance of double click and triple click operations are normal, but the operation of long press to adjust the volume has not been properly adjusted. After running in and learning, the success rate is still "Schrodinger". Unfortunately, it is rare to have an entry earphone that can adjust the volume. Just wait for OTA.
tone quality: The performance is normal. The three frequencies called by the "OPPO Blue Light Technology R&D Expert" are indeed balanced, even a little boiled water. Slightly electric sound and dental sound, the high frequency is relatively clear, the vocal position is slightly low, the low frequency is slightly scattered, and the strength is weak. Roughly, the sound quality is slightly better than that of the in ear real Buds at the same price Air 2 (but it has noise reduction).
Endurance: 4 hours for monomer and 24 hours for charging box. It takes 10 minutes to charge, 8 hours to drive, and 1.5 hours to fully charge. The battery life of the single unit is short, and the battery life of the earphone box is long.
Delay test
Effect of connecting OPPO Reno 5 Pro (the audio delay of the unit is up to 108ms, and the game mode delay is 278ms)
Xiaomi 11 Ultra is connected to OPPO Enco Air. The delay control in the default mode is generally 400ms.
The Latency Test reading is too large. For example, the official logo delay can be reduced to 103ms for OnePlus Buds, which can only be 160ms in this test software. In the case of 53ms mobile phone playback delay, the delay of OPPO Enco Air game mode+AAC code is lower than the SBC code in the default mode. In the SBC coded game mode, the delay can be reduced to 193ms, which is better than some "game Bluetooth headsets". It is not impossible to make do with chicken eating. Rhine low latency certification, awesome!
Summary
OPPO Enco Air is ordinary in terms of sound quality and interactive experience, except for its workmanship and overall endurance, which exceed expectations. When we thought it was plain and ready to give up the experience article, its delayed performance saved the scene.
The low latency mode of OPPO Enco Air can also be used normally without OPPO series mobile phones. It can also achieve very low Bluetooth latency with other manufacturers' mobile phones. OPPO's mission of "making the best Bluetooth headset for other manufacturers' mobile phones" has once again become a reality.
In terms of cost performance, OPPO Enco Air can't shake its own Enco W51. After all, the latter often costs around 300 yuan, and the sound quality and noise reduction are very balanced. OPPO Enco Air is more suitable for the positioning of "game earphones", especially for those mobile phone manufacturers who "do not have or cannot do well with official TWS earphones".
