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.
I just received the headset today and coming from a xm2 over ear i have to say the sound quality is stellar!! Only paid 27 euro's on sales and i am blown away. The cushioning is very nice, fits 99% perfect to my head ( sightseeing gap at the left bottom side of the skull). Really recommended for its price❤❤❤!
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)
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.
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. 😅
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 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
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.
Thanks Andy for the informative review. I was seeing it in my Lazada Flash sale on an official Ugreen shop on sale for only RM65. I was planning on buying an Edifier W820NB as my tablet doesn't have any sort of earphones jack & my old edifier earbuds loss in a bus 😢. However your review is really helpful in buying these headphones. I enjoy the wireless connection & it does support LDAC on my phone but sadly not on my tablet.
Thanks Andy, I am currently using a Awei A780BL and the mic is not good, I will switch to this once it is available in my country. You gave me a good heads-up with regards to the mic's output.
i suggest you to ask UGreen of your country whether they are going to have it stocked. UGreen in Australia for example will not sell any headphones/TWS in general as their response to my inquiry.
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.
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.❤
@@richardwartton3775I haven't tried it yet but it claims to work based on ugreen official shop that I ordered (it's advertised along with the specs). Also, I can't find a good cable that works with audio and mic for it.(If only it comes with it on the box)
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 enjoyed this review so much that it helped me decide to get one. Thanks so much. Im just havong trouble connecting my device to the app. It doesnt recognize it. Did it take long for you 4:16 to connect yours?
Assuming that you already have UGREEN Home app on your android phone, it should not be difficult for it to detect the Max5C. If there's issue, then what I would do is to reset the BT pairing and then let the UGREEN App reconnect. If it is persistent, try on another phone if you can just to isolate the issue (could be the phone not cooperating well)
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.
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.
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
Hi Andy, don't know if anyone have asked this but is the microphone quality is the same when using the headset wirelessly? and is the delay noticeable when connected to PC wirelessly? plan to use it for playing story games.
Close enough. If you are gaming on PC just use the USB mode, no latency at all. In BT there will be a few ms of delays which is a no go for FPS gaming especially
Hi! Great review. Do you know any adapter cable that could connect it to a phone with 3.5mm jack? I bought their usb C to 3.5mm cable but it doesnt work. Thanks!
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 have a question... What is the tuning of it when it's connected via wire (type c to c)? Because it sounds different. I have it in Jazz and I feel like it has a different tuning or does it switch back to it's stock tuning?
What I had with my own unit, the pre selected EQ while connected to my Android Phone via BT was still in place even when I connect it to my PC via USB mode
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.
I don't think any ANC headphone can block announcement sound. ANC are meant for suppression of ambient noises, voice announcements are not ambient sound
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
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
I was annoyed because the app does not detect the headphones, apparently the app from the play store is not the one that you should DL 😅 thanks to this video for the app guide 😁
Bang, may i know how's the soundstage for this one? Because i love to watch movie, and i want something that provide wide soundstage. And what caught my eyes, that u green also comes with spatial audio. How's great the spatial coming from u green? Thanks 🙏
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
May I ask, does Bluetooth already support Lossless/hi-res lossless? As far as I know, only wire supports Lossless/hi-res lossless, and Bluetooth does not support Lossless in general yet. Correct me if I'm wrong, and thanks for the answer.
The mic quality is too good, is it because it is connected with wire? I hope you have tested it out without the wire connected to your pc and tried it purely wireless.
The mic itself is good, so it performs similarly when used with BT to PC, bound only to the limitations of absolute resolution where BT has limitations
What you heard in this video is exactly the quality you hear doing Zoon, Discord etc. Max5C does not have active noise suppression for MIC input, those things you set in the app
Hey! Thanks for the review! Does someone know if these headphones will keep the configuration or do I have to set it up every time I want to use it? I’m asking this because I have an iPhone and there’s no Ugreen app for ios
@@donglemadness thank you for you reply Andy. I just bought these headphones. They are amazing for the price. Unfortunately, wired connection doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone. Not a big deal though.
@@donglemadness may i ask ? If my phone does not support aptx lossless, and buying headphone that could support it, can i play the audio using codec aptx lossless ?
Depends on how large the user head is. Like all other closed back headphones, the clamp on this one is firm. Otherwise it is quite comfy for long hours of usage

The mic alone is worth way more than the asking price. Fantastic review, Andy!
Totally agree! And thanks
@@donglemadness yup, i think the mic is very good, i think of getting one just for the mic haha
Does the microphone also reduce background noise?
the mic was like a plot twist to me, it blew my mind 😵
This mic quality is impressive specially for the price! 😮
No joke, as compared to my RODE Wireless Pro which cost USD $500, it surprised me as well considering how close that thing was to matching the quality

Its amazing how the market developed over the years. Five years ago, it'd be no less than $80, or even $100.

Thanks. I don't see any option to run this on analog output via 3.5mm. Seems like only USB or BT
Very very nice review. How was the latency using Bluetooth? That is the ms?
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
Thanks for the info. One last thing, are the ear caps replaceable? @@donglemadness
I have a question... What is the tuning of it when it's connected via wire (type c to c)? Because it sounds different. I have it in Jazz and I feel like it has a different tuning or does it switch back to it's stock tuning?
What I had with my own unit, the pre selected EQ while connected to my Android Phone via BT was still in place even when I connect it to my PC via USB mode
Can you compare Ugreen Max5c VS Max 5 Hybrid?
If I have them both yes I can do that
Is there really a difference in terms of sound quality if you use 3.5 mm vs 4.4 mm balanced?
Have a look at this video where I explain this in the simplest way possible:
ua-cam.com/video/PKW0zI7egcQ/v-deo.htmlsi=SiIHehvLbLsBMwhp
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.
Good feedback.
Does the ANC do well in mrt? I can’t stand the announcement sound
I don't think any ANC headphone can block announcement sound. ANC are meant for suppression of ambient noises, voice announcements are not ambient sound
@ ahhh okay that makes sense. Thanks!
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
I think this is quite new. Also it seals better than any earbuds
@@donglemadness very interesting and at a low price point too. Maybe I should try it tho they did have other headphones too
Is it very loud? Crispy and Clear audio in music?
Crispy and clear depends on which EQ profile you select
LDAC VS AAC which is better?
LDAC is near lossless while AAC is not. So LDAC is superior
Thanks a lot
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
Hi Andy, does the mic have decent noise reduction via bluetooth? Planning to use it for work from home setup.
Active NR no, but it is clean via BT too as how you heard it in this video
I was annoyed because the app does not detect the headphones, apparently the app from the play store is not the one that you should DL 😅 thanks to this video for the app guide 😁
Bang, may i know how's the soundstage for this one? Because i love to watch movie, and i want something that provide wide soundstage. And what caught my eyes, that u green also comes with spatial audio. How's great the spatial coming from u green? Thanks 🙏
Soundstage is fairly good because you have to remember this is a closed back headphone still. Otherwise this Max5C is also excellent for movies
@donglemadness thanks alot bang. Really2 appreciate your quick reply. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Does the microphone also cancel out background noise?
No it doesn't work on MIC for ANC
got this on sale for 400k vnd/rm 69, totally a good deal
Is this good for the gym? Is the grip on the skull tight enough? Also, are the pads replaceable?
I don't think it's a good idea as the pads might soak badly due to sweat
Is the audio for first 38 seconds of the video recorded using the headset? (without editing and enhancing)
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
No longer 80 plus since your review bro.. The seller already increase the price due to its gaining popularity.
it is again now as of 14 Sept 2024. Check LAZ.
Between this Headphone and Edifier WH950NB? Which one better?
Haven't tried the WH950N yet
I trust you Andy 😂
😁
@@donglemadness Not kidding, just bought it yesterday for RM95 including shipping
How was it?
@@Clo_893 At this price point RM95/20USD and below, and with the features it offers, none compares currently.
Which one do you recommend between Max5 & Max5c?
Max5C
What about the dual connection? Does it work?
Yes it does, but you will not get LDAC doing that
I just got mine. I can't set up the microphone to work on my PC. It does not show up or work automatically. Help!
I saw some comments about the general sound being soft...but is there any sound leakage if I increase the volume very high
Soft? this thing sounds pretty energetic to me. There's no sound leakage that I am aware of even when cranked at high volume
@@donglemadness Good to know. Thanks for the very thorough review, Appreciate the response!
May I ask, does Bluetooth already support Lossless/hi-res lossless? As far as I know, only wire supports Lossless/hi-res lossless, and Bluetooth does not support Lossless in general yet. Correct me if I'm wrong, and thanks for the answer.
The closest you get to Lossless is when you use LDAC in Max mode at 990kbps, lossless is just over 1000 Kbps
The mic quality is too good, is it because it is connected with wire? I hope you have tested it out without the wire connected to your pc and tried it purely wireless.
The mic itself is good, so it performs similarly when used with BT to PC, bound only to the limitations of absolute resolution where BT has limitations
How about call quality (mobile, Zoom, MS Teams, Discord)? Does the mic also suppress background noise?
What you heard in this video is exactly the quality you hear doing Zoon, Discord etc. Max5C does not have active noise suppression for MIC input, those things you set in the app
@@donglemadness Unbelievable 😍 Thanks Andy! 🙏
Hi, can it use male 3.5mm to type c cable with DAC or non DAC chips in the usb or can use both?
No. The wired connection is only with USB type C
@@donglemadness what a pitty....thanks for the enlightenment.
Hey! Thanks for the review! Does someone know if these headphones will keep the configuration or do I have to set it up every time I want to use it? I’m asking this because I have an iPhone and there’s no Ugreen app for ios
ugreen home on appstore
Yes it seems to use the last saved settings once you configured it on the app. My EQ settings are retained even when connected to the PC
@@donglemadness thank you for you reply Andy. I just bought these headphones. They are amazing for the price. Unfortunately, wired connection doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone. Not a big deal though.
if i use the bluetooth mode with my pc, will my pc still able to recognize it as microphone and a headphone ??
Yes it will
Is this headphone quality could beat / get close to other high end quality headphone ?
No
@@donglemadness may i ask ? If my phone does not support aptx lossless, and buying headphone that could support it, can i play the audio using codec aptx lossless ?
have you tried the HiTune Max5 Hybrid? i’m curious about whether it stacks up to the Max5c or not
Not yet. I'll see if I can get one soon
Hello sir! Does the connector to pc included in the box or need to be purchase separately?
The USB cable is included
@@donglemadness Thank you so much Sir! Thank you for the wonderful review. :))
How do they compare to Soundcore Life Q35 wireless headphones?
I haven't tried Q35 yet
Guys who win betten this ugreen, qcy h3 Lite and haylou s30 pro????
nothing matters if you are not audiophile. but price alone I could buy 2 ugreen for the price of qcy h3 in my online store.
Is it worth using long time? If it is used for a long time, is there a possibility of headache or earache?
Depends on how large the user head is. Like all other closed back headphones, the clamp on this one is firm. Otherwise it is quite comfy for long hours of usage
ugreen hitune max 5c vs haylou s30?
Haven't tried S30
does ugreen have a replacement ear pads for their headphones?
Not sure about that
