Aiming for the throne?
Oppo usually has great quality earphones, which come with great audio quality. It's Oppo Enco X2, Oppo Enco W51 and Oppo Enco Air 2 Pro all are industry standards. And we can expect a great quality product with this one too.
For the price of Rs. 1,799, it undercuts Realme Buds Air 3 Neo and we will have to compare it head to head to find which is the absolute best. But as it stands, for the price, Oppo Enco Buds 2 is a stellar deal for the price coming from an audio giant like Oppo.
