Oppo wants to establish itself as a premium device manufacturer that places high quality above an affordable possible range. However, this has not stopped the company from positioning itself with products that are available for reasonable prices. This is one particular case, for example: the Enco W31 true wireless headphones that have been strategically positioned in the mid-price range of Oppo’s earphones. On paper, this sounds as though it is “balanced and fairly priced”, with plenty of can-do attitude. How does the Oppo Enco W31 perform in real life? You can find out in this review.

Oppo is not only conquering the German market with its range of value-for-money smartphones, but also wants to establish an entire ecosystem of hardware, including accessories. Of course, this also includes true-wireless headphones. The flagship model is known as the Enco Free and is based – like many others – on Apple’s AirPods. Oppo nevertheless deviates from the standard with a hybrid approach. Question is, does this idea work?

With the FreeBuds 3i, Huawei will be embarking upon the true wireless earbuds path for the first time without having to settle for an ugly-looking device that hangs out of your ear. It achieves this by using silicone plugs in order to better seal the ear canal against any outside, environmental noise. The ANC technology used is, theoretically, capable of delivering additional peace and quiet. Does this sound like a well-known concept to you? Yes, under the name Magic Earbuds, the Honor brand carries an almost identical model in its lineup, which are available at an even cheaper price point. Why then is this Huawei variant the better option? You will find out more in our review.

It’s annoying when during a really good endurance run your in-ear headphones suddenly slip out of your ear canal and fall to the ground. With many true wireless headphones, this can hardly be avoided, because they are not fixed solidly enough to your ears. The Powerbeats Pro are completely different, with a sturdy bridge and a rubber claw that clings to your ears. But if the price that Apple charges is too high for you, then you should consider the Soundcore Spirit X2 from Anker, which realizes this concept for less than half the cost.

Sennheiser returns to the true wireless market with its true wireless Momentum True Wireless 2 headphones. This pair is more or less the same recipe as the previous model but claims to provide longer battery life and active noise cancelation (ANC). The price of $300 thus seems slightly more justified than on the Momentum True Wireless. But at this price point, even the slightest defects will feel painful.
