Oppo Enco Q1: Redefining Wireless Headphone Experience

Unibody Design Meets High-Built Quality in Oppo's Award-Winning Innovation

Revolutionizing the wireless headphone industry, Oppo Industrial Design Division introduces the Oppo Enco Q1. This design, inspired by the need for comfort and hygiene, combines seamless design and advanced technology to deliver an unparalleled user experience.

The Oppo Enco Q1, a product of Oppo Industrial Design Division, is a wireless noise-cancelling headphone that stands out in the market. The team's inspiration came from the need to improve the wearing experience of neckband headphones. The result is a unibody design that reduces trapped dirt and allows easy maintenance. The seamless sleek surface of the ergonomically designed neckband ensures all-day comfort for users.

What sets the Oppo Enco Q1 apart is its unique properties. The powerful hybrid active noise cancelling function allows users to enjoy crystal clear music without any unwanted ambient noise. The headphones are designed for high wearing comfort and deliver great sound quality. The controls are conveniently placed on one side, enabling single-handed operation for users. The interaction is kept simple with only three buttons controlling power, Bluetooth pairing, volume, song switching, and noise cancelling function.

The Oppo Enco Q1 is a product of advanced technology. The contoured shape neckband is over-molded thermoplastic polyurethane with a built-in memory titanium alloy thread. This allows for a strongly built quality neckband that retains its shape despite bending and twisting. The earbuds are reinforced with Polycarbonate - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene composite, housing with a stainless steel outer plate. The in-ear silicone ear tips are double injection-molded to ensure dual firmness with comfort and form an additional physical barrier to seal out noise.

The design of the Oppo Enco Q1 was not without challenges. The team had to balance form and functionality, ensuring ergonomic comfort, ease of use, and portability. As the first model of the Oppo Enco family, it had to establish its own product identity and radiate the Oppo Enco design value through a unique form and design language. The result is a product that combines the latest technologies with a lightweight and solid compact design to deliver an authentic music listening experience on the go.

The Oppo Enco Q1 is not just a product of innovative design, but also of extensive research. The design team conducted rounds of user interviews, focus groups, and workshops to identify user needs and pain points. This led to a clearer brief of designing an active noise cancelling wireless headphone for daily use. The design was later validated through several rounds of mockups tested with the targeted customer audience.

The Oppo Enco Q1 is a testament to the power of innovative design. It was awarded the Golden A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2020, a prestigious accolade granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. The Oppo Enco Q1 is indeed a venerated product and a bright idea that advances art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with its desirable characteristics.
