OPPO Enco Air3 Pro Design: Build Quality, Wearing Comfort
The OPPO Enco Air3 Pro ships with a pebble-shaped charging case and in-ear earbuds design. At first, the Enco Air3 Pro looks familiar to its successor, i.e., the Enco Air2 Pro. However, OPPO has surely improved the overall design language with the new-gen model. The glossy finish along with the smoothly curbed edges giving a feel of a glass layer on the case’s top makes it all premium.
OPPO hasn’t solely focused on the looks of the Enco Air3 Pro but also has kept the durability factor in mind. The case as well as the earbuds feels sturdy and can easily resist a few accidental drops. The compact design along with a lightweight form factor makes it easy to carry around in the pockets. While the case is all durable, the glossy finish is prone to scratches.

Therefore, it would be wise to keep coins, keys, and other sharp objects away from it while carrying it outdoors. Speaking of wearing comfort, the in-ear design of the earbuds fits well in your ears.

OPPO Enco Air3 Pro: Audio Performance
The Enco Air3 Pro is one of the most advanced TWS earbuds in its segment. The earbuds pack 12.4mm dynamic drivers. The bamboo-fiber diaphragm is first-of-its kind with any Enco series TWS. It is touted to refine the overall sound quality. The frequency response range is 20- 40KHz which is now becoming standard with mid-range TWS. The Enco Air3 Pro also feature ANC which definitely is the star highlight when considering a price bucket under Rs. 5,000.
And it’s a functional ANC that wouldn’t disappoint you with blocking surrounding noises when activated. You can long press and hold the left earbud to change the audio mode or use the Hey Melody app for the customization. The audio clarity is good and you will surely love grooving to your favorite track while on the go. The ANC is effective in noisy background situations and can block wind as well as traffic noise better than the rivals in this league.
The Enco Air3 Pro earbuds are also suitable for gaming. It offers low-latency mode which you can access from the HeyMelody app. Once enabled, this feature will automatically start functioning during gaming. But if you are someone who primarily is considering this pair for music and movies, you wouldn’t be disappointed here. The sound stage is wide and the lows, mids, and highs are tuned well to enhance the listening experience. The bass is punchy which should attract most of the users.
There are a bunch of additional modes with which you can optimize the audio as per requirements. Some of these options include High-quality audio, Golden audio, and OPPO Alive Video. The pair is further able to produce a rich and vibrant sound stage with the added audio codecs.
