With the earbuds inside, the charging case has a weight of 40 grams.

Inside, Oppo has fitted each earbud with a 13.4mm audio driver. The company even claims that it is twice as effective as an ordinary 12mm driver. Likewise, the Oppo Enco R has a dedicated bass chamber to boost the low frequencies for the mainstream audience. There is no ANC, but the earbuds use a noise-reducing AI algorithm for calls.Oppo Enco R also sports a Bluetooth 5.2 chip for wireless connection.
