UGREEN Max5c Wireless Bluetooth Headphones ANC 43dB Active Noise Cancellation Hi-Res LDAC 75H Spatial Audio Earphones Headset
Audio/IEMs
“The UGREEN Max5c pairs hybrid ANC (claimed 43 dB, effective on low-frequency engine/AC rumble) with Bluetooth 5.3 and LDAC support plus 40mm drivers and long battery life (50h with ANC off, ~40h with ANC on). Strong battery, wired 3.5mm option, and LDAC/heavier-codec support make it a compelling midrange ANC headphone; expect very good low-frequency noise reduction, long runtimes, and improved sound when using the companion app and LDAC, but note comfort and accessory trade-offs.”
