You can benefit from the Bluetooth 5.0 connection which lets you hear voice calls on both the earbuds. You can always use its monopod feature in case you just want to use only one earbud, if you are on voice calls, you can make use of the single earbud to talk.
The earbuds also offer low latency, while gaming, we didn’t found any lags in the connection. On the other hand, the realme Buds Q offers its Super Low Latency gaming mode with 119.2 milliseconds whereas Xiaomi’s Redmi Earbuds S comes with 122 milliseconds low latency.
Audio Quality & Battery Life
It uses HD Audio quality which means it supports AAC audio format to get your music even better, only a few TWS earbuds offer the high-quality ~900 kbps LDAC or LHDC codecs support. When we talk about the sound quality, you won’t be disappointed at all, in fact, the quality of music is very good given its price (Rs 2,499), it didn’t give us a chance to hurt the ears on full volumes.
On the battery side, the OPPO Enco W11 comes with a 400 mAh battery (case) and 40 mAh for each earbud providing an impressive 20 hours of playback time with charging case included, each earbud lasts 5 hours on continuous music playback.

This is where the OPPO Enco W11 shines out when it comes to battery life given the price where the realme Buds Q is a close competitor.
For the charging, the OPPO Enco W11 takes about 120 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%.
