About Oppo Enco Q1 無線耳機

Oppo Enco Q1 係一款配備主動降噪功能嘅無線頸掛式耳機。頸帶採用一體成型設計，表面無縫，所以唔會有接縫接觸皮膚。長時間使用都較少積聚污垢，清潔亦保持簡便。頸帶以熱塑性聚氨酯包覆成型，內置記憶鈦合金線材，所以彎曲同扭轉之後都能夠保持原有形狀。耳塞配備雙色注塑成型嘅矽膠耳膠，能夠有效隔絕噪音。所有控制掣都集中喺同一邊，三個按鈕可以單手操作。

Production Technology: The contoured shape neckband is over-molded thermoplastic polyurethane with a built-in memory titanium alloy thread, allowing us to establish a strongly built quality neckband that can retain its shape despite bending and twisting. The earbuds are reinforced with Polycarbonate - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene composite, housing with 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.
Design Challenge: First of all, the design needs to balance the form and functionality, ensuring ergonomic comfort, ease of use and portability. Secondly, since Oppo Enco Q1 was 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.
Research: The design team conducted rounds of user interviews, focus groups and workshops to identify the main user scenario and user needs. The ambient noise while listening to music had been the top pain points for wireless headphones through research, which then led to a clearer brief of designing an active noise cancelling wireless headphones for daily use. Several rounds of mockups were later tested with our targeted customer audience to validate the design.
Inspiration: When it comes to wireless neckband headphones, the wearing experience of the neckband has been very crucial, as it is constantly in contact with the skin. Therefore, the design team wished to design a unibody and high-built quality neckband where there are no seams touching the skin, thus reducing trapped dirt after extended use and allowing easy maintenance.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2018 in Shenzhen, China and was released in September 2019.
Operation Flow: All controls are placed on the same side, allowing single-handed operation for users. The interaction is kept simple with only 3 buttons: the multi-function button to control power and Bluetooth pairing; volume buttons to control volume and switch songs; the mode button to activate noise cancelling function and switch between 3 immersive sound modes.
