What it does well.
Key features
At a glance
Choose the listening mode for the environment.
Standard Bluetooth. Wireless listening without active noise cancellation for the longest listed battery life.
Hybrid ANC. Reduces selected environmental noise; effectiveness depends on frequency, fit and surroundings.
Transparency. Feeds more ambient sound through for brief awareness without removing the headphones.
3D spatial audio. Applies an optional spatial presentation. Preference and effect vary by content and listener.
Reduce steady travel and office noise without promising silence
Hybrid active noise cancellation
Hybrid ANC combines microphones inside and outside the ear cups to analyse and reduce selected ambient sound. It is generally most useful for continuous low-frequency noise such as aircraft cabin, train or air-conditioning rumble.
- Use ANC for comfort, not certified hearing protection.
- Stay alert where warning sounds matter.
Hear more of the room and use the five-microphone system for voice pickup
Transparency and calls
Transparency mode is intended for short conversations and awareness by allowing more external sound into the ear cups. The five-microphone system supports ANC operation and voice calls in compatible Bluetooth use.
- Use Bluetooth input/output selections for calls.
- Move to a quieter place when voice clarity matters.
Over-ear sound with optional spatial processing
40mm drivers and 3D mode
UGREEN specifies 40mm composite drivers for this exact model. The physical drivers reproduce the audio signal, while the optional 3D mode changes spatial presentation for selected music, films or games.
- Start at a low volume and adjust gradually.
- Source quality and Bluetooth connection affect the result.
Up to 60 hours with a 1.5-hour listed recharge
Long battery and comfort
Official figures list up to 60 hours without ANC and up to 40 hours with ANC, a full recharge in about 1.5 hours and up to five hours of playback from a 10-minute quick charge.
- Runtime varies with mode, volume and calls.
- Charge from a suitable USB source with the included cable.
Use scenarios
Real-world applications

Setup and usability guidance
Connection workflow
Charge, fit and select the right listening mode.
- Charge the headset with the included USB-C cable before first extended use.
- Enter pairing mode according to the controls and select HiTune Max 3 in the source Bluetooth menu.
- Adjust the headband and rotate the ear cups until the cushions seal comfortably around both ears.
- Choose standard, ANC or transparency mode for the current environment.

- For AUX use, lower volume first and insert the supplied cable fully at both ends.
Battery, ANC and wireless sound vary with real conditions

Standard mode. Longest listed runtime—up to 60 hours under UGREEN test conditions.
ANC mode. Up to 40 hours listed, with real results affected by noise processing and listening level.
Quick charge. UGREEN lists up to five hours from 10 minutes; source power and battery state affect the result.
Wireless calls. Room noise, microphone position and the conferencing app affect what other participants hear.

- ANC reduces noise but does not block every voice, alarm or sudden sound.
- Battery figures are maximum listed results, not guaranteed personal runtime.
- No Bluetooth version or codec claim is included because it is not verified.
- The 3.5mm cable provides a wired listening path; feature behaviour may differ from Bluetooth.
Good practice
Good practice

- Use transparency only as a convenience, not a safety guarantee.
- Keep ear pads clean and dry.
- Store in the included case for travel.
- Do not rely on ANC or transparency around traffic or machinery.
- Do not expose the headset to rain or liquid.
- Do not sleep, drive or operate equipment while isolated from important warning sounds.
- Do not bend the headband beyond its adjustment range.
Warnings and limitations
Safe operation
Warning 1. Prolonged high-volume listening can damage hearing. Reduce level and duration, especially in noisy environments.
Warning 2. ANC and transparency are electronic aids, not protective equipment; remove the headphones when full awareness is required.
Warning 3. Keep the battery and USB-C port dry. Stop charging if heat, odour, swelling or damage is observed.

Questions buyers ask.
How long does the battery last?
UGREEN lists up to 60 hours in standard use or 40 hours with ANC. Volume, calls, temperature and wireless conditions change real runtime.
How fast does it charge?
The listed full charge is about 1.5 hours, and 10 minutes can provide up to five hours under test conditions.
Does ANC block all sound?
No. It reduces selected environmental noise and is usually strongest on steady low-frequency sounds; voices and sudden alarms can remain audible.
What is transparency mode?
It electronically passes more ambient sound so you can hear surroundings more easily, but it is not a safety guarantee.
What does 3D audio do?
It applies a spatial presentation to compatible playback. The effect is subjective and can be switched based on content preference.
Can I use the headphones with a cable?
Yes. A 3.5mm AUX cable is included for compatible analogue sources.
Will the microphone work over the AUX cable?
That behaviour is not verified, so microphone support is promised only for compatible Bluetooth call use.
Are they water resistant?
No IP rating is specified for model 90422. Keep the headphones dry.
Can ANC protect my hearing at a worksite?
No. These headphones are not certified hearing protection and should not replace required safety equipment.
Is an airplane adapter included?
Yes, for compatible aircraft dual-jack audio systems; airline sockets can differ.
What is in the box?
Headphones, carrying case, USB-C charging cable, 3.5mm AUX cable, airplane adapter and user documentation.
