However - as you'll discover when you read our section on the sound - the sound staging and general feeling of space is already so good, we didn't feel the need to enable spatial audio at all. It's a hot new buzz-word in music, and - when mixed properly - can be really impactful. But for some ears which struggle with high, medium or low frequencies, it could turn out to be a huge blessing.Īnother feature we didn't particularly feel all that enamoured by was spatial audio.

Using this, it can build a 'Golden Sound' profile with boosts for the frequencies that you need.įor our own ears, there wasn't much change needed from the default balanced EQ, so it was hard to hear a massive difference. It starts off by measuring your ear canals by playing sounds and using an internal mic to measure feedback, then plays notes at different frequencies and asks you to adjust the volume until you can no longer hear it. Similarly, a feature called Golden Sound can build a unique EQ balance just for you. You can also run an individual ear fit test to see if you need to change to smaller or larger silicone tips. Other less unusual but beneficial features include a personalise noise cancellation test which can be run at any time, measuring the outside noise and using internal mics to scan your ear canals, and then adapting the ANC to match.

It uses sound mixes from Oppo's O Relax app, designed to help keep you focused and calm while working, or you could find it useful to distract yourself in noisy areas if you have sensory sensitivities. With a 3-second long squeeze of the stems it launches a calming white noise setting. One rather unusual - and welcome - feature is something called Zen Mode Air. Like AirPods, a long-squeeze will switch between noise cancellation and transparency modes.

You can also have this action set to launch your phone's assistant instead if you want. You can have it set so that a double-press on either side can skip to the next track, or go to the previous track.
