Global OPPO Enco Air 5s launched: Semi-in-ear design, 12mm drivers, and up to 25-hour battery

OPPO unveiled its Enco Air 5s earbuds globally today, launching them alongside the Reno 16 series and the Pad 6. 

OPPO Enco Air 5s

OPPO's 1st semi-in-ear buds

As with many recent earbud releases, OPPO is leaning on AI features and ecosystem integration to set the new model apart.

The earbuds come in three finishes: Moonlight White, Midnight Black, and Starlight Purple, and weigh just 3.9 grams each. They use a semi-in-ear design that OPPO says is built to fit a range of ear shapes comfortably, while still delivering decent noise cancellation despite skipping a fully sealed fit.

The earbud's design

Inside, the Enco Air 5s pack a 12mm dynamic driver with dual-channel stereo sound, adaptive sound optimization, and spatial audio effects to make listening feel more immersive.

On the noise-control side, the earbuds can intelligently switch among deep noise cancellation, light noise cancellation, and transparency modes. Meanwhile, there's a three-microphone array paired with an AI-driven ENC that is also on board for calls, with OPPO claiming the system uses flagship-grade algorithms to keep voices clear even in noisy settings.

The features

The charging case houses a 530mAh battery, charges via USB-C, and can fully recharge both the case and earbuds in about 90 minutes. OPPO also notes that the battery's durability has been certified by TÜV Rheinland.

According to OPPO, battery life is rated at up to 9 hours on the earbuds alone, or 48 hours total with the case, under default settings. Turning on active noise cancellation cuts that down to 4.5 hours and 25 hours, respectively.

Connectivity gets just as much attention as sound quality here. The earbuds can link to two devices simultaneously and work across both Android and Apple devices. 

Other features include sliding volume controls, remote camera triggering, AI translation, AI assistant support, audio sharing, and cross-device switching within OPPO's ecosystem.

The Enco Air 5s run on Bluetooth 6.0 with a wireless range of up to 10 meters and carry an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance.
