“At Oppo, we have been striving to meet the needs of our evolved consumers. The Enco M32 wireless neckband is a result of these constant endeavours. Crafted for those on the move, the Enco M32’s balanced and nuanced sound allows you to enjoy every single beat with clear vocals.

Oppo Enco M32 specifications and features


The Enco M32 packs 10mm dynamic drivers that promise to deliver balanced sound with discernible bass, clear mids and crisp highs. It supports AAC audio format for enhanced sound quality over streaming. Its design includes an independent sound cavity that allows for a larger sound field while avoiding the noise caused by airflow thereby making the audio output purer, according to the company.


The Enco M32 arrives with an IP55 rating that makes it dust- and water-resistant and it is also designed with unique ear fins to fit the ears snugly, whether the users are listening to music while commuting or working out at the gym. The neckband comes with a hall magnetic switch in the earbuds -- which would pause the music when the two earbuds are attached around the user's neck and would start playing again as soon as the magnets are disengaged.


The neckband also features a dual-device, fast-switching function that allows a free flow between the two devices and enables Bluetooth signal switching accordingly.


In terms of connectivity, the Enco M32 wireless neckband features Bluetooth 5.0, which offers a faster and more stable connection with lower loss of sound at long distances. The Enco M32 wireless neckband also features an AI call-noise-reduction algorithm that transmits voice over calls without ambient-sound disturbances.
