Is péire cluasán banda muiníl gan sreang é an Oppo Enco M31 atá deartha le húsáid ar feadh an lae ar fad. Tá meáchan 22 gram sa bhanda muiníl agus tá sé déanta de shileacón leachtach atá formhúnlaithe timpeall ar shnáithe cóimhiotail tíotáiniam cuimhne, ionas go gcoinnítear an cruth tar éis a lúbtha agus is féidir na cluasáin a fhilleadh agus a stóráil i bpóca. Tá cásálacha na gcnapán cluaise déanta de chomhábhar polacarbónáite ar mhaithe le neart agus meáchan íseal. Tarraingíonn maighnéid fholaithe an dá chnapán cluaise le chéile, rud a dhícheanglaíonn an gléas péireáilte go huathoibríoch agus a shábhálann cumhacht. Tacaíonn códú fuaime Ldac le suas le 12 uair an chloig d'am seinnte.

Production Technology: The neckband is liquid silicone overmolded with a built-in memory titanium alloy thread, which can retain its shape despite bending and twisting. The main material of the neckband housings, buttons and earbuds are made of Polycarbonate - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene composite that ensures strength and lightness. A textured Polycarbonate - polymethyl methacrylate plate is placed on top of either earbud with magnets hidden beneath, which allows them to be drawn together when not using. The silicone ear tips ensure secure and snug fit for human ears.
Design Challenge: The main challenge of the design was to seek a balance between form and functionality, such as balancing the light volume and battery capacity. Meanwhile, the product also needed to reflect the Oppo Enco design value and follow the family's unique product identity.
Research: Extensive research(user interviews, focus groups, workshops) were taken by the design team to identify users’ most essential needs for wireless neckband headphones. Comfort wearing and flexibility were the most frequently used phrase by interviewees, which led to detailed design tasks, such as defining the right volume and weight of the product, developing the shape of the neckband, etc. Numerous rounds of mockups later were built to testify the ergonomic design.
Inspiration: Through extensive user interviews, we discovered that comfort wearing, ease of use, and high-quality audio experience are the three key elements users expect from a wireless neckband headphone. Having that in mind, the design team strived to build a lightweight and flexible neckband headphone that is comfortable for all-day wearing.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2019 in Shenzhen, China and will be released on March 30, 2020.
Operation Flow: The Oppo Enco M31 comes with smart magnetic power control. The headphones automatically disconnect from the paired device when both earbuds are taken off and drawn together by the magnets. When users put them on again, the connection will instantly be restored. This simplifies users' operation and saves power on the go.
All other controls can be reached with ease on one side of the neckband.
