Though super boring to do, long tones helped me improve my sound A LOT! They benefit your playing in that you are not totally focused on getting through a song, breathing at the right times, etc., but rather, you just stare into thin air, focus on your sound itself, starting a note correctly, achieving the desired sound, and ending the note nicely. If you do this all along the range of the oboe for just a few minutes each practice, you will find that each note needs a certain tweaking to get it perfect. It becomes ingrained in your mind and it just sticks. It has another MAJOR benefit - it builds up your embouchure endurance and gets easier and easier. Try that.
