I have buy this already. Thank you for your great review. This is a Flagship killer Headphone. One of the most comfortable headphone, even I have used it for 5hrs straight no hurt at all. The noise cancelation is great too when turn on, it's like your ears is closing like on upper ground mountain, and give focus on your music. It really works. The build quality is great too a premium build. Kudos for Ugreen for making a full english voice-over. Great for the international market. Not a weird voice over. Ugreen brand is one of my trusted product. And it has a Ugreen App support to turn on the LDAC and more, concise options. For me the perfect music setting is (Rock) gives balance separation to all tune, high, mid, low, And lastly the sound quality is superb it is really a Hi-Fi wireless and wired. if you want to make your ears to get shock in quality crystal clear high, and mid, plus sufficient low bass sounds. And the again the App is not cumbersome or too complicated, user friendly. This is a smart deal. Thank again for your deep and honest review, Sir. More power to your channel.
Thank you for the recommendation, got a pair during at promo price 29usd and super impressed with the ANC! Getting a 2nd pair as my wife is also impressed with this.
I liked your review. Sincere, straight-to-the-point, very useful. Obviously the best way to decide would be to test these headphones in person, but your description makes me feel confident it is a good product overall.
ugreen is kinda like baseus, they make a lot of mobile and peripheral stuff. edit: for people using wireless ANC while walking around, make sure to double check your surroundings for safety (avoid pickpockers, accidents, etc). I generally do not recommend walking in a busy street with ANC on as you loose a lot of situational awareness i bought some adapters and 3.5mm cable extensions and they are good quality, in aliexpress they are generally 2x or 3x more expensive than generic stuff but the quality is guaranteed would be interesting to see more reviews like this: budget bluetooth sound devices (my suggestion is the baseus MA10)
i bought it, it’s amazing for the price i even have a sony XM - 3 and that one is way more expensive then this one and is very close to it but for the price is amazing, thanks for the review that you made i really like it
Thanks for this review. I ordered it about a week ago because the price is so good. Couldn't find a video review then so I just went with what I read. After watching your video, I'm glad I bought it. I bought from Lazada at less than RM75. 😅
I bought one of these right after the video ended. The USB audio feature is what sold me, after price. I think i paid 33$ for mine. Fully worth it. Confortable, looks nice, sounds good (to me at least). Only issue I have is how cheap it feels, which is to be expected and not helped when coming from 120$ headphones (Jabra Elite 85h). Oh, and i suppose not having play / pause / skip buttons is kinda annoying. I keep trying to press what would be the pause button on the Jabras, to no avail.
This got me curious about their other audio products as well! Got curious about starfield as well lol. I hope you review their other products as well, especially their anc earbuds.
Me i have the Hitune T1 for almost two years now. I can say it was worthy buy. No ANC but the sound quality is decent enough. Just need some tweaking for it EQ. For balance music. Because by default bass fucus.
I placed my order (black). Your review convinced me to buy it.😂 Was gonna get white (more fashionable imo) but I'm afraid it will get dirty easily. I was convinced to buy it cause of the good microphone, battery life, LDAC codec, type-c audio + microphone compatible which is convenient for me I have some questions though. For the price, how good is the materials used on the headphone?(does it feel cheap or premium feel or just right) Is the black color fingerprint and oil magnet? Are the headphone earcaps/earcuffs replaceable? Most Importantly, will type-c to 3.55m aux cable work (audio jack) if I put in on a 3.55 audio jack? Thank you so much for the review. I will be looking forward for your next videos.❤
the background music in your headphone while playing in 4:11 reaches outside haha (i guess it might be due to your high phone volume), but regardless i'm looking forward in this.
Thanks for the review, these are good headphones for the price. But I can't agree with you about the functionality of the ANC. The 43dB is just marketing, it actually only works a little in Ultra mode, but unfortunately it almost completely suppresses all bass. As a result, I only use ANC on the Max5c as a bass reducer, which sometimes comes in handy :-) The price cannot be an argument in this case either, because for the same money you can sometimes buy a 1more SonoFlow SE, where the ANC works almost perfectly, the sound is out of the box more compact and additionally with the possibility of using custom EQ in the stock application. Some presets in Ugreen are not bad, but Rock is probably the only one where there is no gap in the 4-8kHz area, which gives them a little airiness. Unfortunately it's sometimes a little too aggressive in the treble for me, so I often go back to Jazz, which I then have to fine-tune using AutoEq in Wawelet :-( I have a similar problem with connecting via usb c, great idea but bad implementation, for games and movies the sound is probably fine, but almost useless for listening to music without Wavelet or APO EQ. Max5c definitely has a lot of potential, it doesn't sound boring, it charges at the same time when listening via cable, and the construction seems quite robust, but Ugreen should improve the equalizer capabilities in the application for wired and wireless modes. I definitely wouldn't buy them because of the ANC, but the passive isolation works well, the battery lasts a long time, they support LDAC and on top of that Ugreen have really decent microphones, that's enough reasons to buy them 👍
@@ruru4855 No, no Ugreen preset, neither APO nor Wavelet affect ANC efficiency. In Ugreen there is some peak around 60Hz and it is smoothed out when ANC is activated, but this creates an imbalance between bass and treble and the magic of Ugreen is gone😀
@@ruru4855 And if you wondering if it's possible to use an additional EQ after ANC is turned on to bring the bass back to the original level without reducing the quality of the ANC, well yes, Ugreen were just lazy to set a different EQ for ANC ON like other brands mostly do 😄
@@ytmartini I was scared of the thought that source EQ would throw the ANC off so that the headphones won't produce the exact inverse sound of the environment noise anymore. I hope I'm correct in my assumption from your comment that the ANC is applied on top of the EQ so that the ANC still works as expected, because I always EQ all my stuff.
Not sure if this was asked in the comsec but did you buy a headphone case for your Hitune 5c? I can't find a UGreen headphone casing for this model. 🤔 Btw, awesome review! This is the main reason I bought this amazing headphone! Literally, steal! 🤙
I might just pick this up later. If it's as good as you say it is, that price is a steal. Even the mic alone sounds better than any other anc headphones mics so far. What about in wired mode? Does the sound change compared to when you use Bluetooth? I assume it does. How much of a difference is it? Do you need to turn it on to use it in wired mode? What does the function buttons do? Like single, double, triple tap, hold. If possible, some people don't like getting to open the app every single time to enable the different types of ANC
If you run it in USB wired mode to a PC, it will not need to be turned on, it will automatically switch to wired mode. And it will remember the setup you set in the UGREEN app for the sound profile. So, it is hassle free as far as I can tell
@@donglemadness what about the latency? Have you tried gaming with Bluetooth mode? Can you feel the delay or lack thereof? It's on sale currently on shoppee and I'm hoping to pick this one up
i got it on a sale, and i love it, but does anyone know how to remove the foam? i wanna change it cuz leather, it gets hot quickly, and i dont wanna ruin the original foam, i cant find any guides
The whole video was recorded using RODE Wireless Pro except for the part where I tested the MIC and playing the game (Max5c was used) . No edit or digital noise suppression applied for the whole video
Thanks! I would not know the latency in ms, I don't have the means to measure it. But in LDAC for as long as within 4 meter, the connection is stable and does not appear to stutter
I had recently bought a bunch of ugreen stuff (chargers, power banks, cables) and I was suprised that they had a headphone that looked promising. Not a lot of reviews about it but I wonder if it's a worthy buy coming from someone primarily listening through earbud type TWS I also wanna ask if this is a new product? I don't seem to find anything about headphones on their website and there's only 3 other reviews on this
Hi everyone has anyone been able to update the firmware on these headphones? I have them connected to the app but everytime I press the option to firmware update it just says "Network error".
Guys, pls help, i want really good sounding headphones, great clarity and bass and hi res, fully immersive. Which one should i get? Baseus h1pro, edifier 820nb, this ugreens, or qcy h3.
I can't see to find the UGREEN app you mentioned in the google play store for my pixel . Do you know if the app is available in the US or can I use another app to tune the headphone?
The app is called Ugreen Home and downloaded outside of Play store. Each box of Max5C will have a card with QE code you can scan that will provide the link to download it
I'm no audiophile, I just trust my ADHD whenever if the sounds good or not but this is really good. Holy, such a good recommendation. Just Received it. I'm kind of a bassy person so this headset is perfectly good for me. Also I don't see any latency when on wireless, playing games. 😮😮😮 Really good at movies Also the Jazz mode didn't work out for me only the Classic and Bassy. This might be better than my Soundcore Q45.
U said its holographic, meaning ia good for movies or Netflix right? But u r using wired, is that same goes to wireless? Or should i change the game mode for wireless? For gaming or movies instead.
I think not recommended for rain use. But I saw someone in UA-cam open the inside of this specific model. The manufacturer, water sealed it, maybe for water resistant only...
hi endy! seeing your recommendation-I ordered the hitune Max5c(naturally..). alas!- I couldnt find an app- neither for my ipad - nor for my pixel7 ! (without an app, the performances are seriously compromised 😢) any idea?.... thanks hal
Thanks. Can you please check the contents of the box? Try to find a print of QR code which you can scan and it will give you a link to download the Ugreen Home App
Mine is not charging. Tried several cables and adapters still not charging. Plugged it more than 24 hours still battery low. Care to share what's workaround on this?
You can set it first in the App while connected to the Android app but when connected to PC, the BT will turn off and you cannot change it in that mode, you need to reconnect to BT mode to change it again, but at least the saved settings will stay
If you don't need LDAC, you can turn on dual connect (multipoint) in the app and connect Max5c to PC and phone at the same time, and then you can switch the EQ in the app, even if you're listening on a PC.

Hello I am actually coming to kuala lumpur is there any place where I can buy this I am only there for 4 days so is it possible if you can buy offline or is it online only
No I don't. It is a personal preference that I will not use wireless for gaming when I am paranoid about latency. Connecting to PC will always use USB connection for max resolution because PC typically does not support higher resolution BT codec like LDAC (mostly they run on the older SBC codec)
@@donglemadnessDoes it show at the general BT setting on android that we using LDAC instead if AAC after we setup at the app? (We can change codec at bt setting)
You must first use the App to send the signal for the headphone to turn on the LDAC, then the headphone will restart to make adjustment for LDAC after that you will be able to change it via Android Bluetooth settings.
@@richardwartton3775 thanks for the reply. After testing the headphone, I noticed that the music that I stream(flac,24 bit) just got resampled to 16 bit and then resample back to 24 bit (using poweramp app to check) My guessing is the headphone reduce the bit depth before increase it back to stream

U said its holographic, meaning ia good for movies or Netflix right? But u r using wired, is that same goes to wireless? Or should i change the game mode for wireless? For gaming or movies instead.
@@rawjugv.u9519 Yes Movies and Netflix too. Holographic both wired and BT
i just recieved this headset but the left side anc doesn't feel working. even turning on the ambiants i can only hear it to the right.
Sounds like you need to report this to the seller, could be a bad unit
@@donglemadness omg am about to use it when travelling. anyway have you qlready tried it using to call someone, cuz they cant hear me when using it.
For outdoor, the headphones has water resistant to raining boss andy? (hujan renyai renyai)
Lol, I haven't tried that yet
I think not recommended for rain use.
But I saw someone in UA-cam open the inside of this specific model.
The manufacturer, water sealed it, maybe for water resistant only...
can i use this in the gym? is it sweat proof
I would not want to use this headphone for sweaty activities, the pads would not work for those sort of situations
hi endy!
seeing your recommendation-I ordered the hitune Max5c(naturally..).
alas!- I couldnt find an app- neither for my ipad - nor for my pixel7 !
(without an app, the performances are seriously compromised 😢)
any idea?....
thanks
hal
Thanks. Can you please check the contents of the box? Try to find a print of QR code which you can scan and it will give you a link to download the Ugreen Home App
Can other people around me hear my songs when I put it on high volume? Because this is my main issue when I buy headphones
No, the sound is contained and does not leak outside
It depends on the area or place etc...
Don't know where you can get it for $18 but even on the AliExpres, it is over $34(before tax)?
It's on Shopee up until yesterday
is the bass too much to watch action movie/animation?
Bass is okay if you set the EQ profile correctly, so no worries
Sir does the LDAC working when connected or wired to pc?
No, LDAC is only usable when in BT mode
Does the microphone work without having to use the cable ?
Yes. It works on Wireless too
$18😮😮😮. I can’t believe it.
Mine is not charging. Tried several cables and adapters still not charging. Plugged it more than 24 hours still battery low. Care to share what's workaround on this?
Sounds like you need to file this to the seller. It's clearly faulty and you should file for warranty claim
😮Good thing shopee has 30 days free shipping warranty
And UGREEN has 2 years.
could i use its app on pc for changing its sound EQ ?
You can set it first in the App while connected to the Android app but when connected to PC, the BT will turn off and you cannot change it in that mode, you need to reconnect to BT mode to change it again, but at least the saved settings will stay
If you don't need LDAC, you can turn on dual connect (multipoint) in the app and connect Max5c to PC and phone at the same time, and then you can switch the EQ in the app, even if you're listening on a PC.
Could you provide a link to the sale and vendor please? Thank you.

Hello I am actually coming to kuala lumpur is there any place where I can buy this I am only there for 4 days so is it possible if you can buy offline or is it online only
If you are visiting KL then go to Low Yat Plaza 4th floor where you will find several PC shops which carry UGREEN stuffs, you may find it there
Wich one are the best, ugreens or qcy h3?
I have both. QCY H3 isn't as good as Max 5C
What about the dual connection? Does it work?
Yes it does, but you will not get LDAC doing that
have you tried it for gaming in wireless mode?
No I don't. It is a personal preference that I will not use wireless for gaming when I am paranoid about latency. Connecting to PC will always use USB connection for max resolution because PC typically does not support higher resolution BT codec like LDAC (mostly they run on the older SBC codec)
Does it really show *LDAC* or just *AAC* ?
Coz I can't seem to be able to enable it... stuck at *AAC* ?
LDAC should show LDAC, use the UGREEN App to set this properly like shown in this video
@@donglemadnessDoes it show at the general BT setting on android that we using LDAC instead if AAC after we setup at the app? (We can change codec at bt setting)
@@zenosyx49you can find it in the developer options
You must first use the App to send the signal for the headphone to turn on the LDAC, then the headphone will restart to make adjustment for LDAC after that you will be able to change it via Android Bluetooth settings.
@@richardwartton3775 thanks for the reply.
After testing the headphone, I noticed that the music that I stream(flac,24 bit) just got resampled to 16 bit and then resample back to 24 bit (using poweramp app to check)
My guessing is the headphone reduce the bit depth before increase it back to stream
Aux cable?
No Aux, Just USB
Hi res for wireless and wired?
Wired USB and Wireless LDAC mode offers Hi Res
@@donglemadness how to download the ugreen app?
The price on AliExpress is about 48 Euro 🙁 not 18 dollars.... 🙁
The price was for Shopee users in the early week of July 2024
@@donglemadness
Yes I know, but I thought on AliExpress it will be about 20 Euro, but unfortunately not.
What is the companion app? is it available in playstore?
Do you have the link for this app?
The companion app is called UGREEN Home, you can download it from the QR code included in the box
@@donglemadness Thanks Andy!! God Speed!
Is it over ear headphones?
Yes
Is the earpads replacable?
Yes you can replace it
What's the app name to be downloaded? It seems hard to search
It is called UGREEN Home, inside the box there's a QR code you can scan that will give you the link to download the APK directly to your Android phone

Hi! I am from the Philippines, I can't signup to the app.
Perhaps you can email UGREEN to ask on this?
@@donglemadness thank you! I just did.
How is the comfort after long hours of wearing? Does it feel like it is pressing on your glasses after long use?
Admittedly the clamp is on the strong side but I was able to use it without issues even up to 2 hours, doe not press my glasses too much
Wow only $18?!😮
That was the offer price in the first week of July for Shopee users. It may be different on AliExpress or any other places
actually even in 2023 standard...43db is not impressed at all
Can you do a review about SENNHEISER Momentum 4, please :) ?
It is in my radar, but not sure when. Thanks!
@@donglemadness Thank you cery much, you are great. I subscribed to your channel, i like your reviews, you are one of my favourites. Greetings from Bucharest, Romania, from a 55 years old firefighter, here :) .
Bought a pair thanks to you, Andy. The value for money is insane, especially considering the sound performance that the Max5c delivers.🫨
Enjoy!
