The mic alone is worth way more than the asking price. Fantastic review, Andy!

Thank you for review ,I think will buy this model of ugreen brand

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.

nice review, i heard the mic now aswell so i will buy it, thank you for the review keep it up!

my next buy.. Thanks Andy!

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

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.

Hi Andy, you should do more of these trips to show us the city 😁

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. 😅

That mic is crazy good

This mic quality is impressive specially for the price! 😮

Please do More gaming test on many iems in the future, The starfield gameplay was fun to watch 🎧

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 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.

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)

Woah Satyricon shirt cool bro

mic is crazy good

Hello, great review! How's the transparency when having a conversation? Is your own voice muffled, and are the voices clear?

Does it have the same mic quality in Bluetooth mode? Great review btw!

I wish they release a new version with transparency mode, even if a bit more expensive, then it will check all the boxes for me 💯

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 👍

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. Sound quality is at a good level, but the volume is not very loud, I need more two steps in volume button. It's ok for 25$ in my country.

Chulada de audifonos.....

Nice microphone and anc for the price tbh

Hello, does anyone knows if the ear pads are changeable? Great value for the price but need a huge equalization 😅way too bassy muddy

For outdoor, the headphones has water resistant to raining boss andy? (hujan renyai renyai)

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?

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.

Is there really a difference in terms of sound quality if you use 3.5 mm vs 4.4 mm balanced?

I saw some comments about the general sound being soft...but is there any sound leakage if I increase the volume very high

Is the audio for first 38 seconds of the video recorded using the headset? (without editing and enhancing)

No longer 80 plus since your review bro.. The seller already increase the price due to its gaining popularity.

How is the comfort after long hours of wearing? Does it feel like it is pressing on your glasses after long use?

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

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?

I wonder how they are for heat build up..?
