Oppo Enco Buds3 Pro+ review: One for bass lovers
Oppo has launched its new budget TWS earbuds – Enco Buds3 Pro+ – in India at Rs 3,999 with features like ANC, long battery life and latest Bluetooth technology. In addition to this, the Buds3 Pro+ also supports the Hey Melody app for added features and controls. I have used the TWS earbuds for a while now and here’s what I think about it.
1/7
Design and comfort
The first thing you’ll notice about the design is that it is familiar with the previous generation models. The buds have the stem-style and are lightweight as well. The Blue colour looks premium and also more costly than it actually is. In terms of fit, the buds sit securely in the ear, making them comfortable for long listening sessions and daily use. I also used it in the gym and it stays even while doing high intensity workouts. The added IP55 rating helps keep it safe from sweat and water.

Active noise cancellation
Let’s talk about ANC, the 32dB ANC isn’t much, but at this price, it is one of the best you can get. Effectiveness is somewhat a mix bag and depends on what you are expecting. But in a nutshell, it is effective for reducing traffic noise, fans, and office chatter. It works best with low-frequency sounds, while transparency mode is useful for quick conversations without removing the earbuds.

Sound quality
Buds3 Pro+ comes with a 12.4mm titanized diaphragm driver that delivers a bass-forward sound that suits casual music listening. Vocals remain clear, and the sound does not feel distorted at higher volumes. If you are someone who loves bass heavy output from the TWS earbuds, then you’ll love it even more. The bass is thumpy and well pronounced.

Battery life
Battery performance is a major strength, offering up to 43 hours of total playback with the case when ANC is off. With ANC, I got somewhere around 35 hours of playback in a single charge including the case. Fast charging adds several hours of use with a short top-up and it comes in handy in case you are in a rush

Connectivity and controls
Bluetooth 5.4 ensures stable connections, and dual-device pairing works reliably between phone and laptop. Touch controls are responsive and can be customised via the HeyMelody app.

Dual-mic AI noise reduction keeps voice clarity intact during calls, even in moderately noisy environments, making the earbuds suitable for work calls and daily communication.
