Oppo has launched the Oppo Enco Air3 in India

For charging, Oppo has provided a USB-C port on the case

Oppo has launched the Oppo Enco Air3 in India! With an MRP of ₹5,999, these TWS earbuds from Oppo will be competing in the mid-range segment of the market, battling it out against the offerings by Realme, OnePlus, JBL, and Nothing to name a few. We got a pair of these earbuds at the Digit Test Centre for review. So, while we wait for the earbuds to be put through our rigorous test process, here are our first impressions of the product.

Starting with the build and design of these earbuds, they feature a translucent front lid, with the Oppo branding right in the middle of the cover. We got our unit in the “Glaze White” colour, and it looks great at first sight. The earbuds carry over the white, dual-tone aesthetic of the case, and feature solid ear tips with the half-in-ear design, made popular by Apple with their AirPods and EarPods. These earbuds feature a USB-C charging port, which can be used to juice up these earbuds.

Oppo Enco Air3 make a solid first impression

As for the performance, our initial testing indicates that these earbuds hold a lot of promise, especially given that they have a half-in-ear design, which has been known to be notorious for messing with the overall performance of the device. Talking about the design, it is something that we would advise you to look into and try out the earbuds if you are looking to take the plunge and get yourself a pair right away. This is because if the earbuds do not fit in well, then you might see a performance drop.

As a package in isolation, the Oppo Enco Air3 seem to hold a lot of promise at launch. However, we will hold back our final verdict until our testing is over and the reviewers have compared them to their counterparts from other brands.
