Oppo unveils its first semi-in-ear buds, the Enco Air5s, and the more traditional Enco Air5

Oppo Unveils the Enco Air5s and Enco Air5: A Choice Between Comfort and Isolation

Oppo is expanding its audio lineup with two new pairs of earbuds, offering something for everyone regardless of how you prefer your fit. The star of the show is the new Oppo Enco Air5s, which marks the brand’s first foray into “semi-in-ear” design. By ditching the traditional rubber ear tips for a sleek plastic construction, these buds prioritize comfort and a lightweight feel—weighing in at just 3.9g each.

Because they don’t create a perfect seal inside your ear canal, Oppo has integrated their advanced Real-time Adaptive Noise Cancellation. This tech samples at a high 800kHz rate, adjusting in real time to your specific environment and ear shape. They’ve even included a “Tailored Voice-Cancelling System” to help keep background chatter from cutting into your music or calls.

Key Highlights of the Enco Air5s:

• Up to 9 hours of battery life (without ANC), extending to 48 hours with the case.
• 12mm dynamic drivers with a 10-band custom EQ via the HeyMelody app.
• Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity with Dual Connection support.
• IP55 rating, making them a solid choice for gym sessions or rainy commutes.
• Available in Lunar White, Midnight Black, and a stylish Starlight Purple.

If you prefer a more traditional experience, the Oppo Enco Air5 keeps the classic in-ear design with silicone tips. While they trade some of the “open” feel of the 5s for a more secure seal, the payoff is superior passive noise isolation and slightly more impressive battery specs—offering up to 13 hours on a single charge (without ANC) or a whopping 54 hours total with the case.

Both models feature 12mm drivers and IP55 protection, but the standard Air5 leans into slightly more robust performance with Bluetooth 6.1 and specialized features like Oppo Alive Audio for a spatial, immersive sound experience.

Pricing is quite competitive. The Enco Air5s is currently appearing in markets like Singapore and Mexico, while the standard Enco Air5 comes in at a slightly lower price point. If you’ve been looking for an upgrade that balances price and performance, these two new additions from Oppo are definitely worth keeping an eye on as they roll out globally.
