OPPO has been one of the biggest players in the smartphone industry in India and the global regions. But lately, the Chinese tech giant has also started strengthening its portfolio with the launch of other consumer durables including smart TVs, smart watches, audio products, and tablets. The Enco series is OPPO’s bet in the audio category. The company has recently revamped its TWS catalog with the Enco X2.
The OPPO Enco X2 brings the promise of delivering a pristine audio experience at a price tag of Rs. 10,999. OPPO has laced the latest TWS earbuds with advanced Dynaudio technology, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), and wireless charging support. But what about the audio performance and overall user experience?
Do the latest TWS earbuds from the Enco series live up to expectations in terms of audio performance and is it worth an investment? We at Giznext got to use the Enco X2 for a while and in this review article we are giving our feedback on the same:
OPPO Enco X2: Design
The OPPO Enco X2 is quite familiar in terms of design. It ships inside an oval-shaped case that has a flat surface. The hinge has a metallic strip with DYNAUDIO labeling at the back. The metallic hinge definitely adds to the case’s durability factor. The USB Type-C charging port along with an LED flash is at the bottom.
When you flip open the case there is another LED placed between the partition of the earbuds slot. The charging case also has a pairing key on the right side. As for the earbuds, they feature a small stem design with metal rims at the edge. The stems are equipped with built-in keys to control ANC and media playback. You can also control the volume levels with this.
The earbuds feature a snug fit design which we found to be comfortable for daily and prolonged usage. The left and right markings are in bold which makes it easy to wear them on the go. Overall, the Enco X2 is designed well for daily usage. The earbuds come with IP54 certification which further adds to the practicality by making them dust and water-resistant.
OPPO Enco X2 Review: How’s The Audio Experience?
The OPPO Enco X2 has some advanced hardware that delivers a rich audio experience. The Enco X2 is packed with 11nm dynamic drivers and 6nm planar diaphragm drivers. It also features multiple audio codecs and Bluetooth profiles for lossless audio transmission wirelessly. Speaking of the codecs, this pair is compatible with AAC, LHDC, and SBC.
The audio performance is at par with the competition and is improved compared to its precursor. The pair manages to deliver a balanced audio output without being affected by the loud levels. You can easily tune into your favorite music tracks and toggle on the ANC feature if you don’t want any disturbances during your music listening sessions.
The bass is also punchy. You get ample thump with each beat. So, be it music or movies, the output is good and consistent with this pair. The OPPO Enco X2’s ANC is also effective in blocking background noise. It reduces the surrounding noise to a high extent which is impressive for its price point.
Irrespective of the genre played, the OPPO Enco X2 TWS earbuds deliver a premium listening experience. The pair does a good job of maintaining the balance between the lows, mids, and highs. We tested the audio with multiple genres and have been impressed with the consistent rich output.
You won’t experience any of the audio aspects to overlap even if you turn up the volume levels to the max. Also, there is no muffling or distortion with the audio levels when at peak. The clarity levels are maintained throughout which adds some extra pointers for the Enco X2.
Pairing And Calling Experience
The OPPO Enco X2 can be easily paired wirelessly with compatible smartphones, tablets, and laptops, etc., using Bluetooth 5.1 technology. You can even pair this truly wireless earbud with modern smart TVs that are equipped with Bluetooth. The pairing process is quick and easy.
If in case the pair doesn’t show up automatically in the list of available devices in the Bluetooth settings, you can resort to the manual key placed on the right of the charging case. Just press and hold the pairing key until you see the white LED on the charging case and then complete the pairing process as you would with any other wireless product.
It is worth adding the Enco X2 comes with multiple connectivity support and you can connect it with more than one smartphone or compatible device simultaneously. Also, the Enco X2 is compatible with HeyMelody App. With this, you can additionally fine-tune the audio and make use of the extra features.
As far as the calling experience is concerned, the OPPO Enco X2 delivers a decent experience here as well. We were able to hear the caller properly and the conversation has been smooth throughout. No, complaints with the audio with calling.
Battery Backup
OPPO has used a 57 mAh battery to power the Enco X2 earbuds (each earbud). The charging case packs an additional 566mAh battery. The total juice offered by the earbuds is around 40 hours (with the case included). That’s what the company has claimed.
During our usage, the backup has been between 30 – 40 hours. With a single charge and refill via the charging case. The backup also depends on multiple factors including the volume levels and ANC. The backup reduces slightly with all these factors in place. These premium TWS earbuds also feature Qi wireless charging and fast charging technologies which come in handy for quick refuels.
Oppo Enco X2: Final Verdict
The OPPO Enco X2 is a feature-rich TWS earbud that ropes in some of the best technologies for a premium user experience. It has a powerful ANC system that will let you enjoy your music listening or binge-watching experience even when you are traveling in a crowded bus or metro. Besides, the TWS market is consistently evolving in India and you get a plethora of products at an affordable price range. But the Enco X2 raises standards with its premium sound stage and tech-advanced features.
