Editor's analysis
A hand-written take on how these two compare in the real world.
The Sony WF-C500 at Rs 4,030 and Oppo Enco Buds 2 at Rs 1,599 both skip ANC but approach sound quality very differently. Sony brings 5.8mm precision drivers with DSEE upscaling and decades of audio heritage. Oppo offers 10mm Titanium drivers with AI call noise cancellation and 28hr battery. Neither has music ANC. The Rs 2,431 price gap buys you Sony's sound processing technology and brand legacy. The Oppo gives you functional wireless audio with decent Titanium drivers at an honest price.

Buying tip
Test both with the same song before buying. If you stream at 128kbps on JioSaavn free tier, the Sony's DSEE upscaling helps more than you would expect - it reconstructs detail lost in compression. At 320kbps Spotify Premium, the gap between Sony and Oppo narrows because there is more detail to work with already.

Quick answers
Sony's 5.8mm drivers with DSEE processing produce more detailed, nuanced sound despite being smaller. Oppo's 10mm Titanium drivers play louder with more bass. Driver size does not determine quality - Sony's precision engineering and software processing make smaller drivers punch above their weight.
The Oppo Enco Buds 2 with AI call noise cancellation are slightly better for video calls in quiet home settings. The Sony WF-C500 handle calls adequately but lack dedicated call noise cancellation. For indoor work calls, both perform acceptably. The Oppo's AI call feature gives it a marginal edge.
Yes, especially on JioSaavn's free tier which streams at lower bitrates. DSEE upscales compressed audio to sound fuller and more detailed. If you pay for Spotify Premium or Apple Music, the benefit is smaller since you already receive higher quality streams. Budget streamers benefit most from DSEE.
