Oppo Enco Free Review
Oppo Enco Free - Design
Following the same design as Apple Airpods does not mean Oppo Enco Free's look can be mixed with other "me-too" products'. Both earbuds and their charging case are made from high-quality polycarbonate material which brings very comfortable and matte feeling to touch. Moreover, the edges are also designed to be soft and smooth, so the product feels very luxurious and sturdy.
Each earbud is equipped with a special glowing light used for tap and slide gestures and interchangeable ear tips for the best fit of the users. Another thing that helps Enco Free receive many compliments is the weight of the two buds. Because they are quite light and they fit very well in the ears, one can wear them continuously in a long time without having any fatigue or pain.
In terms of the charging case, it is said to be very pocket-friendly thanks to the compact as well as squared out design. On the front of the case, the Oppo logo is engraved over an oval metallic surface together with indicator light. On the right side, there is a pairing button and a charging port at the bottom that allows USB Type-C.
Oppo Enco Free - Audio quality and connectivity
With the aim of running away from the stereotype that quality is driven by the price, Oppo is trying to offer its users the best technology integrated into a small pair of earbuds. They have installed 13.4mm dynamic drives with dual magnetic circuits and titanium composite diaphragm so as to provide the sound that can reach the studio’s standards. However, that standard requires more than just cutting-edge hardware.
Surprisingly, Enco Free is one of the few earbuds that are confirmed to produce studio-quality sound. Without even volumizing up to maximum, the crisp and punchy bass output, as well as the thump, can still be felt very clearly. It also offers a type of smooth treble, which is not too harsh or too soft, in order to avoid the sense of fatigue for users in long listening hours.
Oppo Enco Free is praised for its vocals and mids as well. After being tested with many songs from different genres, it is proven to not only produce crisp and clear vocals but also have moderate but still powerful bass. In general, it has truly produced top-quality sound output with an almost perfect amount of bass.
Regarding connectivity, these buds are undoubtedly easy to be paired with other devices with the help of Bluetooth 5.0 technology. It can maintain amazing connectivity inside an approximate range of 2BHK house. Moreover, each earbud’s tap and slide gestures are unbelievably responsive as well as convenient.
In particular, you can double-tap on either bud to pick up or drop a call, slide up and down on the right one to skip a soundtrack, and repeating the same on the left one to adjust the volume. However, you can not activate these functions using only one of the two earbuds, which can be a disadvantage in some cases.
Oppo Enco Free - Battery
As advertised by the company, Oppo Enco Free can be used continuously in 5 hours of playing music and 20 additional hours with its charging case. In fact, this duration is a little bit shorter, but it is still a praiseworthy battery life compared to many other products in the same category.
Conclusion
With the advantage of offering a reasonable and widely affordable price, Oppo Enco Free is totally a valuable product that having the best features of the most luxurious earbuds. If it is not Enco Free, where can you find a pair of earbuds that can provide you with lightweight, compact, premium, true-wireless, and studio-quality sound?
