Design and Fit
This is the main reason I bought the Oppo Enco Air3, they have a unique design that stands out from other true wireless earphones. The earpieces have a translucent finish that shows off the inner workings of the earphones. The earpieces are also very lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
The Enco Air3 has an outer-ear fit, which means that they don’t go inside your ear canal. This type of fit is more comfortable for people like me who just can’t deal with the rubber tips that come standard on most wireless earbuds now, and it also allows you to hear some ambient noise, which can be helpful in some situations.

This makes the Air3 super comfortable to wear and I often forget I have them in my ears most of the time until I receive a phone call, play some music or scroll on Tiktok and they come alive.
Sound Quality
Speaking of music, the Enco Air3 delivers a well-balanced and detailed audio experience. The bass is not as punchy but the treble is crisp, the mids are also well-represented, with clear vocals and instruments. and the overall soundstage is wide and spacious.
This is due in part to the large 13.4mm dynamic drivers and the outer-ear fit, which helps to create a more open soundstage.
I was consistently impressed with the sound quality on these cheap earbuds, one song that I particularly enjoyed listening to with the Enco Air3 was “Paper Cranes” by Andrew Bayer. This song has a lot of different elements, including deep bass, and intricate melodies. The Enco Air3 handled all of these elements with ease, and the overall listening experience was very enjoyable.
Features
Another reason I enjoy the Enco Air 3 is the pretty neat features, such as multi-point connectivity and customizable controls. Multi-point connectivity allows you to connect the earphones to two devices at the same time. This is great if you want to be able to switch between your phone and your laptop without having to disconnect and reconnect the earphones.
HeyMelody App
The Enco Air3 also has a lot more to offer when paired with the HeyMelody app. The companion app for the Oppo Enco Air3 allows users to monitor battery life, customize the equalizer, and choose more sound profiles like the Oppo Alive Audio feature. The app also has a game mode that reduces latency for gaming and a dual connection that allows users to connect the earphones to two devices at the same time.
Oppo Alive Audio: The Oppo Alive Audio feature creates an immersive sound environment when you use supported music video and game apps. The feature uses spatial audio technology to create a sense of depth and width, making the audio seem more lifelike.
Game mode: The game mode on the Oppo Enco Air 3 reduces latency for gaming. This means that there is less delay and can be a great advantage for gamers who want to be able to react quickly in fast-paced games.
Dual connection: As I said earlier, the dual connection feature on the Oppo Enco Air 3 allows users to connect the earphones to two devices at the same time. This means that you can use earphones to listen to music on your phone and answer calls on your computer, for example.
Earbuds control: The Oppo Enco Air3 has touch controls on the earphones. These controls can be customized to do different things, such as play/pause music, skip tracks, answer calls, and activate voice assistants.
Battery Life
The Enco Air 3 has a long battery life. The earpieces can last for up to 7 hours on a single charge, and the charging case provides an additional 3 charges, for a total of about 21 hours of playback.
Verdict
The Oppo Enco Air 3 is a great true wireless earphone for the price. It has a comfortable fit, good sound quality, and an impressive long battery life. The earphones also have some useful features that should make your purchase worthwhile.
