All you need to know about the OPPO Enco X3i

Leave a comment

Following the success of their previous TWS offerings, OPPO has unveiled the latest addition to their lineup – the OPPO Enco X3i. Designed for users seeking premium sound quality without breaking the bank, these earbuds boast an impressive array of features and technical specifications. Let’s delve deeper into what the Enco X3i has to offer.

Immersive Audio Experience: Dual Drivers and Hi-Res Audio Support

The heart of the Enco X3i lies in its integrated coaxial design featuring dual dynamic drivers. This industry-leading setup utilizes a 10.4mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter, working in tandem to minimize distortion and deliver a well-balanced, immersive soundscape. The frequency response range spans from 15Hz to 40kHz, ensuring impactful bass, clear highs, and crisp vocals for an elevated listening experience.

Further enhancing audio quality, the Enco X3i supports the LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec. This technology enables high-fidelity audio transmission with low latency over Bluetooth, earning the Enco X3i the Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification – a testament to its exceptional audio capabilities.

Tailored Listening and 3D Audio Immersion

OPPO takes audio personalization a step further with the introduction of Golden Sound 2.0 on the Enco X3i. Through a quick audio test, the earbuds generate a personalized profile and fine-tune the sound output to your unique hearing preferences. This ensures you get a tailored listening experience optimized for your ears.

But the Enco X3i doesn’t stop there. It also boasts OPPO Alive Audio, a proprietary technology that utilizes algorithms and head-related transfer function (HRTF) data to simulate 3D spatial audio. This creates a sense of depth and dimension, enveloping you in a truly immersive soundscape regardless of the device or audio source you’re using.

Active Noise Cancellation for Undisturbed Audio Bliss

Background noise can be a major enemy of a good listening experience. The Enco X3i addresses this with its TÜV Rheinland-certified intelligent noise cancellation technology. This system boasts an ultra-wide frequency range of 4,000Hz and can achieve a noise cancellation depth of up to 49 dB. This allows you to block out both low-frequency rumbles like traffic and high-pitched sounds from instruments, letting you fully focus on your music or calls.

Smart-Scene Noise Cancellation further enhances the Enco X3i’s functionality. Utilizing three built-in microphones and intelligent algorithms, it detects ambient noise and automatically selects the most suitable noise-cancellation mode. Transparency Mode, for example, allows you to stay aware of your surroundings while still enjoying your audio content, adding a layer of safety and convenience. Additionally, call noise cancellation and wind noise cancellation algorithms filter out unwanted sounds during calls, ensuring clear and stable communication.

Seamless Connectivity and Lag-Free Performance

The OPPO Enco X3i leverages Bluetooth 5.3 for lightning-fast transmission of high-fidelity audio. This translates to a low full-chain latency of just 94ms, ideal for a lag-free gaming experience where sound and visuals are perfectly synchronized.

Multitasking becomes effortless with the Enco X3i’s dual-device connection capabilities. Compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows devices, the earbuds seamlessly switch between smartphones, tablets, and laptops, boosting your productivity. Google Fast Pair further simplifies pairing for Android users, ensuring a truly versatile experience.

Intuitive Controls, Durable Design, and Extended Playback

Touch-sensitive areas on the stems offer intuitive control over the Enco X3i. With a simple swipe up or down, you can adjust the volume for a personalized listening experience.

Durability is another key feature. The earbuds boast an IP55 dust and water resistance rating, making them suitable for everyday use and even handling sweaty workouts or light rain.

The Enco X3i delivers impressive battery life. A single charge offers up to 10 hours of continuous playback with noise cancellation disabled. When combined with the charging case, the total listening time extends to a remarkable 44 hours. And if you’re short on time, a quick 10-minute Fast Charge provides up to seven hours of playback, ensuring you never miss a beat.

Stylish Design and Comfortable Fit

The Enco X3i comes in two elegant colour options: Electric Blue and Meteor Grey.15 Both flaunt a sleek and modern aesthetic with a metallic coating and matte finish. The charging case features a rounded rectangle body and an anti-smudge coating for a comfortable grip.

In Malaysia, the prices are increasing by about 10% across the board. The Mobile only plan will now set you back RM18.90 which is an RM1.90 increase from the previous pricing of RM17.00. The same RM1.90 increase also applies to the Basic plan which was priced at RM28.00 and is now RM29.90. The Standard plan is now priced at RM49.90 which is an RM4.90 increase of its previous price of RM45. The Premium plan sees an increase of RM7.90 from RM55.00 to RM62.90.

This will be the second price adjustment for Netflix in Malaysia since its launch in 2016. The service revised its Standard plan price to RM28.00 in 2023. When the service launched, it introduced three plans at RM33.00 (Basic), RM41.00 (Standard) and RM51.00 (Premium). In 2019, the Mobile plan was introduced for RM17.00.

What Happens to My Subscription?

With the revision of the prices, there have been many users second guessing their decisions to subscribe to Netflix. However, it’s worth noting that if you are subscribed to Netflix directly, the service has indicated that any changes in pricing will be communicated in black and white through email a month before it goes into effect. At the time of writing, none of the writers and editors at techENT or their peers have received the email.

However, it seems like those who are already subscribed to bundles from Astro and Unifi TV will be seeing an increase in their prices in due time. Astro has confirmed that existing subscribers will not see a change in their subscription pricing until March 2025. There is no official word from Unifi TV yet. However, it has been reported that prices will be changing as of 21 November 2024. New subscribers regardless of how they are subscribed will be paying the newly adjusted prices.

There’s good news for those subscribed to Netflix with an extra member slot, you will continue to enjoy your plans at RM13.

Why is Netflix Increasing Its Prices?

Netflix has not officially commented on the price increase. However, according to their FAQ, the service regularly revises its pricing to adjust to current market conditions and address taxes which may be levied by local governments. This means that the company is adjusting to address inflation among other market realities including exchange rates.

However, it is more likely that Netflix is increasing their prices to address the increasing cost of maintaining their servers and also production costs for their original slate of programming. In Malaysia and Asia at large, this slate has expanded significantly since Netflix started out.

It’s also worth noting that Netflix pays licensing fees for shows on its service. Increase in these fees over the past few years and the rise in the number of competitors both internationally and locally will drive up pricing as marketing and licensing fees increase.
