OPPO Enco X review: Competitively priced near-perfect premium ANC earbuds
As OPPO continues
to expand its audio category, fresh in its line-up is a premium pair of
wireless earbuds. Named the Enco X, these true wireless earbuds boast a premium
design complemented by flagship features like active noise cancellation, touch
controls, and wireless charging. Priced at Rs 9,990, the OPPO Enco
X seems to be a competitively priced pair of true wireless earbuds for those
who seek a premium experience. But are they really good? Let’s find out:
Design
It is good to see OPPO continuing
its efforts to add finesse to its true wireless earbuds’ design language.
Though the OPPO Enco X sports a familiar in-ear design with a stem protruding
from the earbuds, it has a smaller form factor than OPPO’s previous wireless
earbuds. Made of plastic, these earbuds have a glossy finish with a silver mesh
on the speaker grille and microphone and silver-coloured charging connectors at
the bottom end of the stems. The glossy profile makes it a bit difficult to
pick the earbuds out from their charging-cum-storage case. Moreover, they are
prone to accidental drops because of small and unstable footprints. As for
quality, the earbuds seem to have a durable and sturdy build. They might
withstand everyday abuse, but they do easily become dirty and require regular
cleaning to stay in good condition. The Enco X is IP54-rated for water and dust
resistance.
As for the charging-cum-storage case, it is a pebble-shaped unit
with a glossy plastic finish on the front and back, and a silver metallic strip
sandwiched in between. There is a pairing button on the right, and USB-C
charging port at the bottom. On the front, there is a tiny LED battery
indicator that doubles up as the pairing light indicator. The back,
surprisingly, is not boring and features a ‘Co-created with Dynaudio’ engraving
on the case’s lid hinge. Important to note that the Enco X charging case
supports wireless charging – something some in the segment lack. Speaking of
the hinge, it is made of metallic with a strong feedback. It is easy to open
and close, and does not require much effort to operate.
