OPPO Enco X2 vs Sony WF-1000XM3 - Where are the differences?

There are a few differences between the two True-Wireless Headphones. Let's take a closer look at the points in comparison between the Enco X2 from OPPO and the Sony WF-1000XM3.

Which headphones have the better battery life?

A crucial point for headphones without cables is always the battery life. Here many headphones differ and the capacity grows from year to year. The OPPO Enco X2 trumps with a better battery life of up to 9,5 hours. The battery life of the Sony WF-1000XM3 is up to 6,0 hours. Depending on the settings, the battery life turns out significantly lower. The specifications always refer to the ideal case.

For true-wireless headphones, an additional battery in the case has become popular. This way the headphones gain more battery life and can be conveniently charged on the go. In terms of overall performance, the OPPO Enco X2* offers more at this point. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 40,0 hours. The Sony WF-1000XM3 comes insgsamt to a battery performance of up to 24,0 hours.

Wie werden die Kopfhörer geladen?

Bei dem Ladenanschluss setzten beide Geräte auf die gleiche Technologie. Beide werden per USB-C geladen.

Ein höhrer Standard ist hier immer besser. Die Ladedauer wird verkürzt und du kannst, wenn alle Geräte aktuell sind, die gleichen Kabel nutzen.

Die Ladedauer der Geräte:

• OPPO Enco X2*: 5,0 minutes Ladezeit für 2,0 hours Akkulaufzeit
• Sony WF-1000XM3*: 10,0 minutes Ladezeit für 1,5 hours Akkulaufzeit

Unlike the Sony WF-1000XM3, the case from the OPPO Enco X2 can also be charged wirelessly. This is called Qi charging.

Noise Cancelling: ANC

A big issue and a practical thing is the active noise cancellation. The headphones differ here. Only with the OPPO Enco X2 do you get ANC (Active Noise Cancelling). With the Sony WF-1000XM3 you have to do without it.

How many microphones are there?

Let's move on to the topic of microphones, which also have an impact on voice quality and noise cancellation. Most headphones no longer relied on just one microphone, but several. Here, with 2 microphones per earbud, there is no difference.

Welche Bluetooth Version ist verbaut?

Beide TWS-Kopfhörer aus dem Vergleich funktionieren über Bluetooth. Je höher die Version, desto besser ist es für die Qualität in der Übertragung und auch dem Energieverbrauch. Die beiden Kopfhörer unterscheiden sich hier. Der 5.2 hat Bluetooth 5.2. Bei dem Sony WF-1000XM3 gibt es Bluetooth 5.0. Damit ist der OPPO Enco X2* mit dem bessern und neuern Bluetooth-Standard ausgerüstet.

Driver size of the headphones

The larger the driver of a headphone, the better it can reproduce low tones (bass). Here, the OPPO Enco X2 with a driver size of 11 mm performs better. With the Sony WF-1000XM3 the driver size is 6 mm.

Are there changeable attachments?

In contrast to the OPPO Enco X2, the Sony WF-1000XM3* offers you changeable attachments for the ear studs. This gives you more wearing comfort and the headphones can be individually adjusted to the ears.

Are the headphones waterproof?

Unlike the Sony WF-1000XM3, the OPPO Enco X2* is certified with IP54. However, an IP certification does not directly mean waterproof. Depending on the certification, the headphones are only water- or sweat-resistant. However, a higher number in the certification is generally better. With Bluetooth headphones there is also the problem that Bluetooth is disturbed by water. Thus, the use when swimming is only possible with special headphones.
