Review of OPPO Enco M31

Review of OPPO Enco M31 Bluetooth Earphones

Hi friend’s,

      Welcome to Tech Beyond. Today we are going to take the review of OPPO Enco M31 review. So let’s get started. If all you care about is audio quality then the Oppo Enco m31 is the best Bluetooth headset under 5k that I've personally tested yeah it's that good but what about the battery the build and the rest well you gotta stick around to find out.

• In the Box:       

        Let's now get started now before we get into the review here's a quick look at the box content we have the headphones themselves a pair of replacement ear tips in different sizes. The type C to type A charging cable and finally some paperwork.

• Weight and comfortable:      

          Now one thing I immediately noticed about the M31 is how light these are at 22 grams there's 6 grams lighter than the oneplace bullets Z. Now light doesn't equate to flimsy at least not in this case in fact I quite like the design here it's all black with subtle silver trims and accent lines the best feature though has to be the buttons each button has an individual bump so even after just an hour of using it I could control the headset by feel alone. Also like the W31 the Enco M31 is really comfortable they fit nicely inside the ears with the flat part of the bud fitting snugly inside. Unlike the protruding ear buds on the oneplus bullets z what that means is you can fall asleep wearing these and it wouldn't hurt your ears.

• Uses:

         The Enco M31 also comes with IPX5 rating that means it's protected from splashes and sweat making it perfect for workouts. Now I did dream about the sound quality in the intro and the reason I love it so much is how balanced the sound signature here is yes this means that in an EDM or be savvy track we can make out each beat but if you switch to something that has a lot more emphasis on the mids and highs even than the M31 performs admirably. The instrument separation here is something I would expect from Bluetooth headsets that cost at least 5 to 6 times that of the M31.

• Drivers:

          The highest audio certified 9.2 mm dynamic drivers in here provide an excellent experience the vocals ring out crystal clear in solo pieces we can hear their intricacies and even in choruses I could make out the details of individual instruments. We also have support for LDAC audio. One of the few budget Bluetooth earphones that does support the codec and to my ears the difference in quality between standard and LDAC is quite clear now. If you're looking for and create audio experience in a budget then the Oppo Enco M31 has earned my recommendation.

• Function:

         Like the W31 the M31 also comes with a dedicated bass mode double tapping the multifunction key gets us into that. Now the sound profile becomes a lot more pleased heavy kind of like the oneplus wireless bullets Z of course the inner design provides great sound isolation and combine when the included bass mode I could really feel the beats so no matter what sort of sound signature appeals to you the M31 has you covered.

• Mic:

          The mic is located right to the back of the remote control and oppo claims that they have AI powered background noise reduction on board. In our experience it performed all right the person on the other end didn't complain and as for us well the Bluetooth 5.0 meant that the range was pretty good so we could put our phones down and wander around while talking on the headset.

• Battery:

          Let's now get into what I think is one of its most major cons the battery life Oppo claims up to 12 hours of playback for standard audio and 8 hours for LDAC playback but honestly in our review we found that at around 60% volume with a LDAC on these earphones lasted us a bit more than five and a half hours that's a far cry from the over 18 hour battery life that we managed from the oneplus bullets wireless Z. 

       A full charge requires an hour but we also have support for fast charging in here Oppo claims that 10 minutes of charge is enough for 3 hours of LDAC audio playback. It's obvious that Oppo has cut a few corners here.

• Gaming:

           Now that we are talking about compromises well there's no dedicated low latency mode here either we tried playing PUBG with the M31 and there was just too much of a delay to be able to enjoy the experience and oneplus bullets were perform much better when it comes to latency.

• Pairing:

           Next up we have peering like bullets wireless Z and oneplus phones the quick pairing feature on the M31 is limited to some oppo phones running color OS 7.0 and above. We tried it out with the Oppo Reno 10x zoom and I'd worked flawlessly. Connecting to other phones is quite simple to pressing and holding the multifunction button makes the earphones discoverable and from there it's as simple as connecting any other Bluetooth headset.

• Sensor and other:

           Like the bullets wireless Z, we have magnets to the back of both of ear buds. So nowhere Direction sensor here either in fact sticking the two words together switches them off, but again I don't really think that's a problem since they reconnect automatically and the process hardly even takes a second. As far as controls go we can change the volume using these buttons long pressing allows us to skip tracks, one tap on the multifunction button plays and pauses music two switches between balanced and Base mode and then triple tapping invokes the assistant. We can also take and end calls using the multifunction button. So unlike the bullets  Z there is a quick switch functionality present in here now there's a reason I compared the Enco M31 to the bullet Z throughout that's because they both cost the same 1999.

• My opinion:

         So which one of these two neck band style earphones should you go for well here's the breakdown if music fit and comfort is your priority then go for the Enco M31 as i said at the start this is the best audio quality that I have heard from any Bluetooth headset under 5k.

If you want something with amazing battery life that you can play games and listen to music on then the bullet Z is a great all-rounder.

          That’s it todays review, I hope you enjoyed it. Tell me in the comment; follow us on social media for latest updates. See you in the next review.
