UGREEN, a well-known digital accessory brand, has deployed the TWS true wireless earphones market and launched the HiTune series. Before 52audio had disassembled its first product UGREEN HiTune WS100 true wireless bluetooth earphones, which conforms to UGREEN’s consistent design principles of simplicity and ease of use.
Some time ago UGREEN launched its second true wireless bluetooth earphones——HiTune T1. This time the earphones adopts a new handle in-ear design. A single earphone has two microphones, and ENC environmental noise reduction technology has better calls. Noise reduction capability; IPX5’s waterproof rating can cope with sports and commuting usage scenarios. UGREEN HiTune T1 uses Airoha bluetooth 5.0 chip, which supports simultaneous transmission of both ears and stable connection; built-in 6mm composite diaphragm dynamic driver, with two sound effects of equalization mode and subwoofer mode, which can be switched by touch; a single battery life of the earphones is about 5 hours, With charging case music playing for about 24 hours. Let’s look at the detailed disassembly of this product.

LPS LP7801T ultra-low power charging and boosting single chip, designed for charging/discharging small-capacity lithium batteries, integrates linear charging management module, low-power synchronous boost discharge management module, built-in power MOS, and externally programmable charging current. The maximum charging current is 1A, and the standby current of the whole earphone compartment <10uA (including earphones and protection board) when 5V is normally open.
LPS LP7801T adopts ESOP-8 package, built-in OVP, built-in NTC accurately adjustable, input withstand voltage 36V, no input over-voltage protection components, standby current 1uA; boost module efficiency up to 95%, high switch foot withstand voltage, Fixed 5.1V output, less peripherals and small ripple.
According to 52audio, audio products from brands such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei, Lenovo, Motorola, Realme, Edifier, QCY, JLab, Skullcandy, Boltune and other brands have adopted LPS power management solutions.
A non-standard microcontroller is responsible for charging case functions such as indicator light control.
The charging case uses a soft pack battery, model M902030, with a rated voltage of 3.7V, a rated capacity of 500mAh, and an energy of 1.85Wh.
The battery protection board is composed of a lithium battery protection IC and 8205A N-MOS tube, which is responsible for the overcharge, overdischarge and overcurrent protection of the battery, and the thermistor detects the battery temperature.
The other side of the battery protection board is the positive and negative poles of the battery.

| 2. UGREEN HiTune T1 earphones teardown
Let’s continue to disassemble the earphone part of UGREEN HiTune T1. The earphones are designed with a handle-in-ear design, which is as gray and black as the charging case and has a good texture.
The earphone cavity has a large tilt angle and fits the auricle.
There is a microphone pickup hole on the top of the earphone handle, which is mainly used to collect ambient sound and assist in call noise reduction. There is a dust-proof net inside; below the opening is the Greenlink brand logo, and this area supports touch.
The indicator light opening at the bottom of the outside of the earphone handle.
The call microphone pickup hole at the bottom of the earphones handle.
The charging contacts and L/R logo on the inside of the earphone handle.
The earphone shell is processed by a variety of processes, from the outside to the inside, it is a gray cover plate, a black frosted shell, a shiny shell and a black frosted shell.
Remove the eartips, the pressure relief/tuning hole near the mouthpiece.
The metal dust-proof net at the mouthpiece prevents foreign objects from entering.
First disassemble the shell of the sound chamber, and place the battery and speaker unit in parallel.
Take out the battery and the speaker unit, there is a foam buffer under the battery.
Remove the gasket that protects the battery. Below is the magnet that attracts the charging cockpit.
The diaphragm of the speaker unit is protected by a metal cover.
The speaker unit size is 5.92mm, which is similar to the official 6mm.
The button battery used in the earphones comes from EVE, model ICB1154, with a diameter of 11mm, a thickness of 5.4mm, and a rated voltage of 3.7V. According to 52audio, there are already true wireless earphones of Samsung, Buttons, ZMI and other brands that use EVE button batteries.
