UGREEN Max5c Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 43dB Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation Hi-Res LDAC 75H Spatial Audio Earbuds Headset
Audio/IEMs
“UGREEN Max5c combines hybrid ANC (feedforward + feedback mics, advertised 43dB) with 40mm drivers and Bluetooth 5.3. Verdict: strong battery (up to 50h/40h ANC on), stable wireless connectivity, and punchy bass make these solid commuters; ANC excels on low-frequency noise but struggles with high-frequency sounds, and build materials are slightly plasticky compared to premium rivals.”
