Oppo seems to have another pair of budget earbuds in the works. The Enco R5 has now appeared in China Telecom’s product database, revealing an updated design.

The listing shows the earbuds under the model number ETEG1, and one of the noticeable changes this time is the move to a semi-in-ear design. That usually means a looser fit compared to in-ear tips, which some people prefer for longer use. It also tends to let in a bit more ambient sound, which can be either good or bad depending on how you use them.

There’s only one color mentioned so far, Frost Moon White, which is a standard clean finish. Nothing too unusual there.

As for the case, it looks fairly compact, coming in at around 49 × 49 × 24 mm and weighing roughly 39 grams. That should make it easy enough to carry around without thinking about it too much.

Each earbud is said to use a 12.4mm dynamic driver. That’s not uncommon in this segment, and it should be fine for everyday listening, though tuning will matter more than the size itself.

The feature list is pretty straightforward. There’s AI call noise reduction, dual-device connectivity, and an IP55 rating, so it should handle things like light rain or workouts without issues. Nothing particularly new here, but it covers the basics.

For comparison, the previous Enco R4 had a similar setup but used an in-ear design instead. It was positioned as a budget option, bundled with phones rather than sold on its own.

With the R5, Oppo seems to be tweaking the formula slightly, mainly focusing on design and ambient awareness.

There’s still no mention of battery life or pricing in the listing. That will probably come later when Oppo makes it official.
