[best Headphone for your money] ugreen studio pro 48dB anc ldac bluetooth & wired headphone

[li9ht5peed]

I can get it for under $50. Is it too good to be true? Will it prove to be better than my Sony XM5?

Spoiler

it's a good deal. there are many sellers in aliexpress. i don't always go for the cheapest one, but those suppliers with good reviews. so if the supplier sold alot and had 5 star reviews, i'm ok to pay them a few more dollars extra

in terms of wearing comfort, XM5 is more comfortable. there's less pressure on my ears but the sound driver is hot so you can't wear it for long unless you have strong aircon

on the other hand, ugreen studio pro has stronger clamping on my ears leading to slight discomfort on prolonged wearing. your experience may differ. but the sound driver is cool even in ambient conditions i.e. no aircon

[BlackWing1977]

hehe got many examples de like the 1 more triple driver headphones or the famous Bluedio ones me super happy with my multi driver Bluedio Victory and UFO plus/Pro wireless headphones will be sad once they uplorry.... but happy to see multi drivers ones like Kiwi ears Ardor and Ugreen Max 6 coming into play .....if can reach 1 more, Bluedio level will be great

Scarly end up like IEMs, got planar, got dynamic, got BA, got PZT etc....any type of multi drivers also can squeeze in

Still waiting for KZ crazy CCA Hydro but full oversized headphone version.

I think so... maybe is this model.

 

[li9ht5peed]

Got auto power off?

update. i left the ugreen studio pro connected to bluetooth on my laptop. once the laptop sleeps, the headphone knows and auto powers off. so there's auto power off but it's not documented

1. it's wired and heavier than my ugreen. those copper cables adds even more weight. no bluetooth and thus inconvenient

2. it doesn't have an integrated microphone. i don't fancy having a lollipop in front of me. looks obiang

3. the headband is flimsy. it's just a piece of plastic as you can see in my stripped down photo. the construction and technology is out of date

my search for good replacement headphones has ended. one of my kids has a sony wh-1000xm5 (foc). i tested it for over 30mins. the sound driver was hot and my ears felt uncomfortable wearing it for extended periods. sony sounded good but ugreen didn't have the hot driver issue, so it feels more pleasant. the ANC feature on ugreen has 3 options: 1. ambient sound 2. anc off 3. anc on. when ambient sound is on, you can hear your surrounding clearly. it further amplifies the sound giving you superpowers to eavesdrop on conversations. when anc is off, there is no amplification. and when anc is on, it shuts out noise as well as the sony

another advantage for those who broke their sony WH-1000xm5. the headband is made of metal (< 2 ohms resistance) and the ear cup connectors are made of thick plastic (1 MegaOhm) that allows the ear cup to fold inwards and turn sideways, so the risk of breakage is low

i ordered several of this headphones online for $54 each & all were given away after testing. equalizer and firmware updates are done via the ugreen home app

Got AliExpress link?
