If there is one gadget or accessory that I am most particular about my Work-From-Home (WFH) setup, it would be the earphones. I easily get annoyed (and irritated) with subpar earphones, which I need to use for both online calls and listening to music. These days, the in things are wireless headsets or earphones, connected to your Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Of the many brands and models I tried, I am truly impressed with the OPPO Enco W11 True Wireless Headphones.
Technologies Behind the OPPO Enco W11
Powered by a built-in Bluetooth 5.0 chip, The OPPO Enco W11 is resistant to signal interference for uninterrupted audio pleasure. This headphone is intelligent enough to automatically resume connection whenever you use it within ten (10) meters from the paired device. Whether your phone is in your pocket or across the room, your music (or call) goes with you.
Access the play or pause touch controls of the W11 headphones with a single tap, and skip tracks when you double-tap. This particular device can also control your voice assistant with touch controls for more convenience and a better intelligent experience.
For sound, the W11 headphones have 8mm dynamic drivers with titanium-plated composite diaphragms for enhanced bass and extended reach of high frequencies for ultra-clear audio. It also supports AAC audio format for a higher audio coding rate that lets you enjoy every detail of your music. One unique feature of the W11 is that instead of receiving signals on one side and sending them to the other, this headphones receive signals on both sides at the same time, resulting in lower latency and a more stable connection.
Noise cancellation is present in both sides of the W11 headphones during calls, thus reducing unwanted noise from your surroundings, even in crowded places or near loud traffic.
For protection, the W11 headphones are IP55 dust and water-resistant (for both rain and sweat, too). The in-ear design helps seal out external noise, bringing you a more immersive experience with a weight of only 4.4g for one earbud.
Battery Life
Packed with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, you may enjoy using the W11 headphones up to five (05) hours of playback time without the charging case on a single charge (up to 20 hours with the charging case). Charging the device will be a breeze, allowing the user to enjoy up to sixty (60) minutes of playback time with just a 15-minute charge.
