H96 Max Android TV Box - RK3318 - 4GB+64GB - Under $40 - Any Good? 

Thanks for your review This is an Australian plug adaptor for sure. Cheers

I m using this from last 2 months and i am very satisfied with it, its really good and cheapest box.

Totally agree with you chigz .smh..this box should never have hit the market.. crappy cpu.. customers do have cheap boxes but not mad ones..huge disappointment..😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Do you know what? I bought one of these 2 months ago for £22 delivered in than 5 days from China on eBay and.... It's been flawless, I have had zero problems running Helix on it all day every day, boots up in 30 seconds runs fluidly for hours on end🤷‍♂️

Could you list the top 10 boxes, looking for 4k support. Thank you.

Thank you I installed AirPin so now I can stream from my iphone. Quality is fairly low but okay for my home gym set up.

Dam, just bought one of these after watching a video by Free Tech channel, where he said it was a great box and fantastic value!! will just have to live with it now and watch your videos for a future purchase in a year or two.

I got this box for a replacement for a friend of mine, now I'm a shield user so it would be unfair to do any comparison at all! I loaded a few apps and Kodi on it and it works fine for the price its good, don't like the R/C that lets it down for me.

Thanks. I was near buying it, but then I compared it to previous years model and it is almost identical specs with different painting. I’m not great fan of rockchip either.

I have to say: I have an Entertainment Box R99 for quite a while now. I upgraded the firmware just recently, *thanks to Chigz*. It has a RockChip 3399. Using the Antutu 6. (?) Benchmark test scored about 70k, not too shabby. And while Antutu benchmark test aren't the end all while shopping for a tv box, it's certainly a gauge. Point is: I've heard about the other Rockchip chipsets, and won't consider anything else aside from the 3399 based on test scores and my experience. Additionally, I will no longer consider buying a box without a 1000 mb Lan. In the opening of the video, Chigz mentioned it having a 100 mb LAN, but at the end he said it has "Fast Lan speed". With the ever increasing availability of faster speeds from Internet Service Providers such as cable and fiber optics, 100 mb LAN really can't be considered 'fast' any longer. So, 3399...yes....3318 or 3328, absolutely not. The terms "Max"; "Pro", "Ultra", "Plus", are empty terms when considering a TV Box. Often times, these terms are hardly indicative of the boxes performance. Better dig a little deeper. Even if you're not a gamer and use it only for tv/movies, you should *futureproof* as much as you can. (I'm no gamer). From what I've seen, my opinion is-- I'm not impressed by the Nvidia Shield, or the likes of the Formula Z8 . So far, of the 6 boxes I own, I'm very pleased with the higher end mid-range quality, and price point. If you're anything like me, you'll keep your ears to the ground for Chigz reviews. Thanks Chigz!!

Thanks man. 480p max res did it for me. The licenses haven't been paid for to allow for higher resolutions. Cheers

All I want to do is watch RU-vid on my old CRT TV. I don’t care about the resolution. I think this box would be just fine for me!

thanks Man . never tot anyone will put time and effort to make this and the table. thaaaaanks

The TV box channel that I love the most! Keep the good works bro!

Will this box support charter spectrum app?

I have the H96 Max box. Every time I turn on the box I have to turn up the volume on the box using the remote control. It's annoying. I keep messing with the settings but keeps doing it.

Hey @Chigz Tech Reviews , Is there a TV BOX that you reccomend that supports fluid 4k stream from USB?

Chigz but for price point its cool to have this for normal streaming and light gaming.. I'm myself using it for one month no issue at all this is my 6th tv box.. Along with fire tv stick.8gb.. Emish 8gb.older box.. .h96 max plus 64 gb colourful.. H96 max h2 rk2228.. A95x max 64 gb with expandable slot and this I recently purchased h96 rk3318.. I think even if cpu is not that powerful let's not forget in price point its even less than 50% of other TV boxes with 64 gb /4gb..and i think for people who want normal streaming and light gaming it's worth it and value for money we can't expect a95x or nivia shield type cpu with that cheap price .. Thats also a fact

Hi chigz great review as always any chance you could review the buzz tv xr 4000 👍

the only negative i have with this box is when i stream tv and the app i use has an option where i can switch back between 2 channels im watching, well this box lets me do that when it feel like it, instead it rewinds the shows im watching, ive never had that done with any box ive owned with the app i stream from... the great thing about this box is the speed im noticing and the great pic quality... i have an LG thinq TV and im finally getting a use out of the high quality def the tv comes with unlike my last box a mi box which dropped sound alot..

Nice and honest review! The main question for me is about those competitors in the same price range which are better/using better and more expensive components - how can this be possible? Having in mind that some cheapest 64GB SD card alone costs about $10...

Okay Chigz, you state there are much better boxes out there in the price range, what are they? Please advise.

Is this box of yours defective?because it actually plays 4k RU-vid videos without any lag!

Makes my A95x F1 look like a shield lol, amlogic slowly going forward, rockchip going backwards!, would be great to see some more 922 boxes on the market this year. Could do with a decent new box.

I found it in WISH and i wanted to buy it. Fortunately i watched your video

480p in 4k set up box What the hell?

Nvidia shield tv is still the KING! Don't waste your cash on other garbage android boxes especial when it is has any Rockchip trash in it!

Bee link gt king or this h96 box or amazon fire cube . Which is better

Which box is better, which one do you recommend?

Thanks for saving money and day. Nice review. I still looking for answer which box really 4k hdr support.?

Great honest video keep up the excellent work you do. God bless you always

Box is great at everything. I will advise anyone who buys one to go to this site which is pasted below to download the factory firmware, follow the instructions in the video. Once that is done, you can install launchers and every other thing apart from Netflix that didn't work for me. It plays 4k content very well. Heat issues will also be taken care of. After installing the firmware, I kept it running from 10am in the morning until 11pm at night and temperature was normal. www.h96tvbox.com/content/6-Firmware-upgrade

Hi ,Not related to this video but between Amazon Fire stick and T95Q ,which one do you suggest for my old sony TV( mainly for IPTV , also netflix , amazon) ,with no internet on the TV (3d 2011 model) ,I already have a Tanix x6 for my main TV and it's working fine , but I like to try different device , cheers

After watching your box chart, I think A95X Max is value for money.Almost all features got on this box with reasonable price and spec 😎

This is cheap when you consider the ram and storage. Serves my purpose for RU-vid and other video playback.

I bought one of these from FastTech to replace an older MK809III ( yeah, that's old ). Mine's a 4GB+32GB.Wi-Fi performance is acceptable. RU-vid, catch-up TV ( BBC iPlayer et al ), Internet radio and live streams of things like the British Touring Car qualifying work perfectly. Nary a stutter or dropped frame to be had.DVD rips to a USB stick work just fine. USB stick music playback works fine. So far, so good. Not so good. The remote is laughably bad. You *need* an airmouse or similar. The icons?, small white text on vivid, light green?, what twisted mind though that was a good idea. What psychotic masochist was allowed to sign that off into production. An alternative launcher helps here, but yuck. No easy way to get to running programs. No drop downs. No smegging Home button! The front display is so dim as to be redundant. Small text in 'Settings' and other menus. Small pointer. I've searched and can't find a way to increase the size. On my elderly MK809III, it was easy. I am an old-farte, so that may be the issue. It runs hot. Very hot. Worryingly hot. So little performance for so much heat.The Bluetooth is awkward. While my 'phone connects without issue, my joystick/pads are a little hit and miss and my keyboard is right out. I'm not much of a gamer, but I do enjoy a blast of classic Sonic era games now and then. Thankfully, the emulators run OK for that and SNES/GBA games. The Playstation emulator(s) I've tried work up to a point. I'll stick with the actual machine for that for now. Kodi generally works. The installed version has issues, but it's no major task to uninstall it and install afresh. That way, at least the add-ons work reliably. VLC works without issue. It *is* an upgrade for me. My TV does 1080p tops, so higher resolution stuff doesn't interest me. I'm not a Netflix or Amazon Prime customer, so that doesn't concern me. For what I use it for, which I'd place as 'basic use', it'll do, but the bloody awful stock icons, lack of outright performance and heat ( I'm slightly concerned it'll kill it ) mean I'd give it a rating of 'avoid'

You are quite intelligent. I like your videos. 3318 is a dead giveaway for this box. If one wishes to go for Rockchip at all, it should be 3399. Even my old 3399 box beats this one. Can't wait for more better performing 922 boxes to come out later in the year😳

H96 brand used to be solid. The past few devices have been terrible....they seem to be going backwards

RU-vid constantly freezes and I cannot find how to update the youtube version any ide. Thanks Geoffrey

bought this last night and then watched this review today :( . When you say there are better boxes in this price range do you have any suggestions because this one ,might be going straight back

You are doing a great job with these videos. Saving us allot of headache.

can you present a plan of the different cable connections? thank you

Good review as I was about to purchase this box not so sure now. I just want a box that’s not laggy, fairly priced, smooth enough for Iptv. Not fussed about 4K as I don’t have a 4K tv and not interested in gaming. Netflix RU-vid, Iptv and movies on a usb is what I am looking for. Would the NVidia should be over kill? Any suggestions as my h96 probplus running Android 7 is really slow now

The power adapter is for Australia/New Zealand.

This H96 box is bad I have the older version with a different chipset it's much better than this junk thanks for the review.👍👍👍👍

please delist or create a separate chart as two categories as; fully test passed boxes , and partly test passed boxes. since u listed these types of failed boxes, we can come to a conclusion to the best product easily

This box is slower than my first Raspberry pi !

Thanks for the review, I was almost ready to buy this...but due to the 4K struggle from external USB as you mentioned, I won't be going for it as this is part of the main reason for my media player need.

Km9 pro was the best box, but one downside is Netflix is not supported.

how is the 4k work with the HDMI cable, and not with the usb as you say you tested it..i bet it shines like a charm..

Really it's very good tv box because I'm already using as same this tv box h96 max ÷ 4k 32gb. Thanks long live you.

Watched this video after ordering H96 Max. Feeling bad to see it's last in the Ranking..

FROM WHERE DID YOU GOT THE ''top android tv box chart of 2019 '' PLLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK , THANK YOU

So which one is best right now, with a good all around system for under $100 Canadian ($75U.S.). If possible, with either a voice remote or at least w/a keyboard typ remote, so we don't have to take forever to type in searches.... and who makes he t95q or the A95x max, etc.. I don't want to buy a knock off, unless the knock offs are just as good..

Hi could you make a video review about 2019 nano max android box i would like to buy it I'm not sure about it this box how is performing good or not thank you.

I have one of those. I realize it start cutting off, the box screen lighting but the tv screen gone blank. I park it aside and using a older one I have mxq.

Mate should I get the km9 pro because it‘s really cheap now it cost only 40€ ?

Thanks for the video. I bought this box already. The physical remote is not the best. Any tip on how to use my phone as a remote? Android remote apps do not seem to work with discovering the box.

i hope they've sorted out the many bugs in the alfawise h96+Pro the most frustrating box I've owned & it cost £69 when it first come out, looking for a better ROM

Not enough budget, rk3318 or rk3328 are good choices, S905X price is a bit more expensive. If you have enough budget, buy Apple, or Nvidia.

i cant believe it was placed last on the chart. It explains why the price was well low and it's a total bust

Must be something wrong with that box....."free tech" did a 4k RU-vid test and it played

How does thelis compare to the older h96 pro plus

how to get 5.1 surround sound with home theater speaker ?

Is this box ok for iptv and youtube usage? Just light usage i quess

Hey man, can you suggest an android box that will work with an external touch screen like Acer T232HL ? I am having touch compatibility issues with external touch monitors and android boxes. Typically they have a mouse cursor button that you cannot seem to remove when you connect to a touch monitor. Thanks!

so won’t it be possible to get 1080p netflix and amazon by the google chrome app?

Sir for you, whats the best among those tv box?

Hey brother can you do a review on mx10 pro tv box? Or just reply to me with your advice for 40-60 price range? Great vid btw!

Is it possible plug a mouse and use it? I've got a old rikomagic with android 4.4 and was very confortable. Thx

That’s a plug used in Australia my friend

That's an Australia/New Zealand plug

Cannot install new launcher or add widgets unlike older version H96. Zero feedback from manufacturer. Many apps not compatible. Time consuming to validate compatibility

I'm planning to buy this one. I wonder how to control the game. I mean will it work if I'll use my ps4 controller? Thanks.

I have 4k hdr10 tv, today I bought amazon fire stick 4k which has dolby vision so DV will work on my tv or not ? will it work only on content that has dolby vision or DV will work on youtube too ?

Please help.i just have bought this but wifi works so little.with 2 bars and the diference betwen my modem and the android box.its not so long and other devices works without problems

Thanks, so which box in same price range instead ?

Hi Chiggs, I was wondering if you can find a way to change the launcher for the T95Q please post a video

So which one of the Android tv boxes works the best for watching online tv? And how to configure that? Because that is the main attraction for these boxes right?

Nothing much Ultra about it lol..at least you could keep a door open with it. Great review as usual.

can you instal a third party launcher like Nova Launcher on this and change the home screen to look like you want?

Thanks Chigz. Pity the android box fails to deliver 4K on sample and having Netflix on 480p is disappointing. 1080p is the benchmark. They should rename it H96Min 😳..

would you recommend the H96 pro over the H96 Max?

480p? Little underwhelming, no?

Hi, I did bought an h96 max, my issue with is thst I can't i stall atv launcher. Plz can you help? Shall I do factory reset? How to do it yes? Thanks.

Awesome Review There is no other review like this thanks for video i am huge fan of your videos:)

Well for a budget tv box its ok and l got the topsion android 9.0 tv box over the x96max there no bluetooth & still waiting for it so don't know if it will perform well.Anyways if ever you get to review the topsion tv box in future would be nice...👍👍👍

Does this support 5GHz wifi? I bought MXQ saying it has 5G WIFI support but doesn't detect my WIFI's 5G Connection

Nice thank man . But why only 480 p for netflix ? I didn't get that 😕

Any chance on reviewing the Q+ Android Box in the future?

Hi Sir, My H96 MAX RK3318 is not emitting the 5.1 surround sound output. is there any settings to receive 5.1 output?

Do you nees wifi to use h96max?

Hi there, any chance i can reduce the buffering, it is really happening every 5 sec. thanks

Dude have you tried the X88 pro? I haven't look/bought a TV box in a minute what's the latest best budget box I'm still rocking my h96 pro+ 😳😂

Why does de Beelink GT Mini says Netflix 4k (in the chart)? in your review it only supported 480p

Wifi connecting issue in my h96 max, how can I solve this problem

A small question. My youtube app keeps turning on the voice-speech. Any idea how to turn it off? I have tried disabling it under text to speech but my "Settings" keeps crushing. Do guide on this . Thank you

How to screen mirror on this box? Can we use Chromecast also?

Need help, please. My box can not go past boot process, no video signal. Is there any way for reset?
