UGREEN HiTune Max 5C Wireless Headphones (White)
Product Overview
The UGREEN HiTune Max 5C (also referred to as UGREEN HiTune Max5c, HiTune Max-5C, or simply Max 5C) in white is a wireless, over-ear headphone model that combines hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC), long battery life, high-fidelity audio, and modern connectivity. The white colour version offers the same performance and technical features as other colour variants but with a clean, minimal aesthetic.
Features & Technical Details
Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation
The HiTune Max 5C features hybrid ANC capable of reducing ambient noise by up to approximately 43 dB. It offers multiple ANC modes (adaptive, gentle, normal, ultra) which can be adjusted to suit different listening environments. Additionally, the built-in ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) and dual-microphone setup improve voice clarity during calls, even in noisy settings.
Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 & Multi-Device Pairing
These headphones support Bluetooth version 5.4, providing a stable wireless connection and improved power efficiency. They allow multi-point pairing, enabling simultaneous connection to two devices (such as a smartphone and a laptop). A USB-C port supports wired listening when the battery is low or if preferred.
Audio Quality & Codec Support
Equipped with 40 mm dynamic drivers, the HiTune Max 5C delivers a balanced audio profile with strong bass and clear highs. It is Hi-Res Audio certified and supports the LDAC codec for high-bitrate wireless streaming, along with AAC and SBC for compatibility across devices. The optional “360° spatial sound” mode further enhances immersion for music, movies, or games.
Battery Life & Charging
The battery offers up to around 75 hours of playback with ANC off and about 45 hours with ANC on. The internal battery capacity is roughly 600 mAh. Charging is via USB-C, and a quick-charge feature allows approximately 5 minutes of charging to yield around 5 hours of listening time in some cases.
Controls & Companion App
The companion app allows customization of EQ (with eight presets), adjustment of ANC modes, and enabling of spatial sound effects. The headphones are foldable with a comfortable headband and soft, protein-leather ear pads for extended use. The weight is approximately 260 g, relatively light in the over-ear category.
Call Quality & Additional Features
With multiple microphones and noise-cancellation algorithms, call clarity is substantially improved in noisy environments. A transparency or ambient mode lets in outside sound when needed (for example, to hear announcements or conversations). The headphones support wired connection through USB-C for listening when the battery is drained. Wireless range is around 10 metres, and the design supports long sessions thanks to ergonomic build and foldable form.

Q&A Section
Q: Why should I choose the UGREEN HiTune Max 5C?
A: If you seek a well-rounded wireless over-ear headphone that delivers serious ANC performance, high-quality audio, long battery life, and modern connectivity—but without paying ultra-premium prices—then the HiTune Max 5C is an excellent choice.
Q: How effective is the ANC on the HiTune Max 5C?
A: The hybrid ANC is capable of reducing ambient noise by up to roughly 43 dB. While it may not match the absolute top flagship ANC models, it is more than capable for most travel or noisy environment scenarios.
Q: Is the sound quality good?
A: Yes. With 40 mm drivers and support for LDAC and Hi-Res Audio, you get a detailed, rich sound experience. The companion app’s EQ presets allow you to tailor the audio profile to your liking.
Q: Does the battery life meet the needs of heavy usage?
A: Yes. Up to about 75 hours of playback with ANC off and 45 hours with ANC on means these headphones are highly capable of handling long sessions without frequent recharging.
Q: Can I use these headphones while charging or when the battery is empty?
A: Yes. The USB-C wired mode lets you listen even when the wireless battery is drained or when you prefer a wired connection.
Q: Are they comfortable for long listening sessions?
A: Absolutely. The ~260 g weight and the soft, protein-leather ear cushions make them comfortable for extended use.
Q: Are there any downsides?
A: Some users may find the ANC less effective for high-frequency ambient noise compared to premium costlier models. The companion app’s EQ may be more limited than some competitors. Also, the ANC might disable when wired in some cases, so if wired + ANC combination is important, that could be a limitation.
