ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
THE REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER:
This video was not sponsored. This video has no affiliate links. I purchased both the E55 and E25 to test these out. No bias, no conflicts of interest, just a good old genuine review with tests to prove my conclusions
No disrespect UA-camrs accepting this sponsorship. Not everyone has tested as many earbuds as I, nor as intensely. Raycon is a legitimate brand and is not a scam. I purchased two pairs and received them, and they are functioning wireless earbuds. The question is whether or not they are as good as their bold claims.
PHYSICAL:
Fit test
Comfort = includes 5 extra gel tips
Durability
Wireless charging = E55 only
Colors = 5 different colors each
Aesthetics - vote in comments
Water resistance = IPX4 on E55 only
FEATURES:
6/36h battery on E55, 24/6h on E25
Price = $120 and $80 but there is always a 15% off coupon
Single point connection = yes!l
Auto play/pause = no
MIC TEST
AUDIO QUALITY:
CODECS = unknown
Single point connection on both!
Lag test = about 1/10 sec lag
Passive noise blocking = just ok
ANC = No
Audio quality:
VERY muddy in E55, lots of bass. E25s are muddy too.
Bass is boomy and not tight at all (E55)
Somewhat dark (E55)
Shallow depth and weak instrument separation (E55)
E25 have terrible instrument detail and separation, sound like a $15 pair of earbuds.
Low bass is very prominent, borderline seismic (E55)
Bass is still very prominent in E25 but not as seismic. Seems a bit bloated with an emphasis around 200Hz
Overall balance is a mess, not natural, and sound is not analytical, but if you listen to Steve Aoki, they would be fun (E55)
Definitely not the best audio in the business.

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! To discuss these more, let's connect on Twitter! @mikeobrienn twitter.com/mikeobrienn
Also, I wanted to add a few things here:
1) I DO NOT want to bash any UA-camrs who promote these. They are legitimate TWS and if you never tried any other TWS, they would probably be impressive. The sheer lack of a cord is an exciting concept, and to the untrained ear, the audio quality might not appear noticeably bad.
2) From my research, Raycon is definitely a legitimate brand and not a scam. While the mics and audio quality are sub-par for the price, these earbuds still look great and are easy to use. Making high quality sound is not easy, and Raycon is certainly not the only brand to sell earbuds like these. I just wanted to review these in particular because they are very prominent in the UA-cam sponsorship space.
3) I have been made aware that some other UA-camr channels have made similar videos recently (and now watching them, they are quite impressive!!) I have been working on this one for about a month and was not aware of the other videos when I first started researching Raycon. With that said, having more videos on the subject is better than having fewer. I think it is important for anyone interested in buying new earbuds to have a few perspectives available to collect lots of information before buying, especially a product like these.
Im wondering if a more worthwhile comparison would be against one of those aliexpress blank versions - Bens Watch Club did a comparison of some Danielle Wellingtons and one was 100% the same product. Drop shipped watches run rampant; 8$ branded blank then sells for 120$. anyhow, good review
You should try the SOUNDPEATS truedot because thats what im using and they are pretty cheap
Raycon Global can I have some raycon wireless earbuds I need some and I can’t afford it
Raycon Global also I will review it on Instagram as well
I wish you looked deeper into the fact it's just rebranded garbage from China, this almost feels like an advert for them the way you talk about them. They're woeful quality through and through, typical stolen tech pumped out by Chinese factories who give zero fscks about quality.
Never trusting a brand that uses this much social media branding.
I would get skull candy they’re pretty good just be careful not as durable but has good sound quality and do pretty good job I have some and the mic quality is good
Manscaped seema pretty trustable

They've been multiple reviews about this already. He is very late to the party but his insight is welcome. I bought the e25 and they are just ok at best. Plus mine came with one side not working properly. It's a shame really.
Quacy Sampson use skull candy they’re better and cheaper
Lol I haven't seen a Raid shadow legends in ages, I wonder what happened to them
@@thealldrk5747 oof
I almost bought these because I felt like I owed Raycon because they support so many of my favorite content creators. Guess it's once again an example of how big advertisement budget = small development budget.
Remember this video isn't the new version of the e25 buds. The new ones now have several sound stage option for eq'ing, a sound isolation mode , qi charging, and usb-c on everything. The mic got better.
@@LowercaseKevfixed? After I bought them. Oh thanks! Not doing that again.
@@LowercaseKevRay J on his burner account. 😂
Thank you so much for doing a GOOD honest review of both pairs of earbuds. I've had very sensitive hearing since I was young so I tend to pick up on when something is off with sound quality in earbuds and bass tends to be overwhelming to me (and is normally why I get headaches when listening to music). It was refreshing to hear someone actually bring up how the bass specifically was overwhelming, especially when other reviews said they sounded good.
And a note on the mic test: The audio quality sounded muffled and it was oddly quiet and staticy all at once, which just reminds me of the cheap flipphones from back when I was a kid for some reason.
These are 100% rebranded generic earbuds from China.
Also the mic test, they sounded equally shit but the E55 sounded like they slightly boosted the sound without improving it.
I noticed that with the mics as well
I'd like to see a comparison to the Aliexpress models, it's often mentioned they are the same and I suspect it is true.
I don't think I've ever believed a water resistance rating on any product I've bought from Aliexpress.
I think the mics are the same, it just sounded different because there was more traffic in the background while the e55 was testing
but speaking of earbuds from China, at the same time when it comes legit hidden-gold-status audiophile equipment the Chinese market is the way to go. there are tons of utterly obscure brands that are making earbuds that blow big names cleanly out of the water at only a fraction of the price. the whole thing is like treasure hunting in a wilderness. sometime you find real gems while other times you get duds.

For me, Raycons are fine. I've bought a few pairs for myself and my family and they seem to like them. They have upgraded the charging ports. But I do agree with you. Absolutely terrible for calls.
I've had them for over a year and they're still working but they don't charge well in the case sometimes. I have to adjust how I put them in their charging case for them to actually charge. So now I'm back on the market to look for earbuds because I feel like that there are better options out there and that's kind of how I ended up on this channel 😅
I use soundcore earbuds. From the best charging brand, Anker. The bass is nice, sound is good and the mic is decent. Alao they were 40 bucks with a 100 hr battery life on the case.
Same. I have gotten a few, the only down side is I really wish they were as noise canceling as they claim to be. I am in the market for really good noise canceling and great music. They do sound the best I have tried so far as far as sound.
Thank you very much for the honest review!! I've been thinking about wireless earbuds for a couple days (since my wired pair that I got 1 month ago just died out of nowhere and my birthday is coming up) and since a good majority of the youtubers I watch have been sponsored by them I was curious about Raycon.
I'll definitely check out some reviews for different wireless earbuds on your channel so I can make the best decision for me!! 😊❤
UA-camrs out here saying these are great wireless earbuds as they edit their video with airpods on
Why wouldn't they airpods are double the price 😆
@Daniyal Choudhry Zahid thing is the airpods are the best
@@unburntduck Hahaha now that's funny, for a sec there I thought you were serious about them being the best
@@unburntduck lol
@@vhylis6510 AirPods are the best true wireless earbuds... if you have an iPhone. I won’t lie the “best” really depends on what phone you’re rocking. Samsung = galaxy buds pixel = pixel buds iPhone = AirPods. It’s all about that integration.
In short, what you are paying extra money for is the "R" logo.
Rudofaux it’s a nice logo though. And at least there is a logo and some design features, looking at you apple
Put an apple on it and expect $200+
@@suhtangwong $200+ is low balling it. Remember Apple sold a monitor stand for $999.

Apple: triple the price for half the features.
I realize that this is an older video, and I'm very late to the comment section. However, I wanted to say that I think Raycon listened to your video, and made some changes. I recently purchased their new e25s in titanium, and it includes USB-c and Qi wireless charging. I really enjoy the sound and feel, and they don't seem too bassy, even though I bought them expecting more bass. Other than, I think they maybe they deserve a second review. Thanks!
another one lost to Influencer Ads...
Good improvements. Too bad they sound like crap.
This is just shit that competitors already had years before. Shows how cheap it is.
bot account with bot likes.
@@KnallenN Did you just call me a bot?
Wow. That sounded like the most honest and thorough yet concise review of all time.
The mic sounds like how someone would hear themselves while wearing ear buds.
Sounds like the audio is being passed thru a call and the mic is picking that audio from like a few feet away
So in short:
Pros: Good size and nice fit
Con: Overpriced, poor single mic, poor sound output
TheHellsingHQ more like
Pros:noone, there are cheaper options which are waaaaaay better
Cons:everything
that's why they are called rayCON
which means its a big lie
The case hurts when it’s in your pocket
Pedro Ferreira can you recommend some please mate?
I appreciate this honest review! I'd rather spend more for better quality. The quality of headphones that I have already are on par to these ear buds and I'm looking to upgrade.
I bought the e25's back in January, and I really have no complaints. I like the heavy bass, mostly since I listen to a lot of metal music.I had a special discount code so I got mine for cheaper. I bought some for my wife, and a pair for her friend as a going away present. Well before we got the third pair they had a falling out, so I let my son use them. There is a reason my son was never allowed to use mine. Either he is cursed with bad luck or he fiddles with them too much, because now one earbud is done for and the charger lights don't turn on. Not to mention the 15 pairs of headphones he's has gone through in the past year.
i give them a seven out of ten. They do over hype, but if it makes you happy, that's what matters most, and I am happy with my e25's.
I just upgraded to the E55’s and I’ve really got nothing to complain about, I used to have E25’s and after going for a mile run and working out with both pairs. I can say I personally love them, I may not sit there and say they are the greatest earbuds ever made, but they are really good for me at least.
You need to try some proper iems. High recommend the Moondrop Starfield.
Night and day difference, that mid bass hump is objectively awful and does not match the scientifically supported frequency response
7/10 Wow! That's pretty good.
Raycons are *Not* a 7 mind you.
A "Seven" hahaha 🤣
@@ahappycoder2925 how much?
@@rugbylover5784 about 100 usd. Also there’s the Moondrop aria which is tuned very similarly for 80 usd (or is it 60??)
These are absolutely 100% rebranded cheap Chinese earbuds sold at 5x the price! Tons of proof out there.
Seriously. I purchased some eerily similar on Amazon for $16 w/free shipping. The sound is okay, but I bought for my husband who is known for losing earbuds. He listens to Podcasts, so they are good enough for that.
There is a trend on that nowadays, seems like. Like mvmt and daniel wellington watches. Watch enthusiast yters found their counterpart cheap products on chinese websites.
It's a good bussiness model, I guess, from the company's perspective.

You are all complaining about small western startups having to use Chinese products to build their business.
I mean what exactly did you all expect with the outsourcing of western industry?
@@bighands69 mvmt made $60 million in 2016. I sincerely don't think it's considered as "small", but maybe I'm just naive.

I guess when it comes to "Raycons" it's the "CON" portion that people should pay attention to.
LoL
Is that why people buy air pod PROS
Big Country What did he say that was wrong?
lol you should even pay attention to the name itself. It sounds like 'recon', short for reconditioned. 😅
So there rayCONs
Your honesty and detailed review earned you yet another subscriber, great vid
Got my E25s in june of 2021 and as of now I really love mine. they've worked without flaw so far, and I wear them at work every day listening to music and audio books. I'm no audiophile. I don't know how they really compare, but I like them. they're solid and meet my needs.
only complaint is when the battery in the charger runs out the buds stay on and conected even when in the case.
Thanks for the honest review btw..finally someone that hasn't been bought off and is honest..keep it up and thumbs up!!
Sure thing, thanks for watching!
Dankpods did a similar thing
Dankpods actually demolished these ratcots 😌😂
@Pre-Buff Tachanka Don't forget RoyJoy 😂
Then you haven't seen Dankpods
Those earbuds are literally a Chinese rebrand, I’ve seen them on multiple channels and sites a while back.
Thank you for the video though cuz I’ve seen wayyyy bigger channels and even podcasts literally just swinging praise with no actual research or testing. 👍🏻
Yeah to be fair though, a lot of big comedy and asmr channels haven't tested nearly as many earbuds as I. In fact, it's likely that Raycons were their first pair. It's a legit company, just far from the best at their price point
Mike O'Brien Just like pre-Apple beats?
Well.
They're not really "swinging praise" so much as they're saying good things about the product because they're being paid too and if they say anything negative they'll probably lose their sponsorship.
PrincessNia that’s what swinging or even singing praise would mean given the context. Shilling crap they don’t understand or believe in for money. Dishonest and foolish imo.
I like how they said or people said it might be better than AirPods or galaxy buds while some people don’t even have it working on one side lol
Thanks for the review. I bought them over a year ago, 1st generation and returned them. Was thinking about buying the new version but now am NOT! Great video and loved you shared the sound quality!!
This dude has the 1st gen
@@sokkasinstincts7187 The new ones still sound like bass cannons bro
This is a good review that brings out what each one has. It isn't comparing them to something more pricy or bashing it heavily with childish insults. I still have my E55 and they still work even after three years which I would guess is a plus. I normally use these when mowing the yard, hiking, or running so the sound quality isn't as needed as it would be for someone else. I might replace these later on but for now they work just fine for what they are used for.
I literally couldn’t tell a difference between the 2 mics
Both sounded like a 2 dollar pair of earbuds maybe even worse
Both utter garbage.

The poor sound quality of these earphones make it a bad deal...
An unfortunate drawback to these earbuds for sure

I've had my lavabean earbuds for past year and have been perfect! Good sound, long battery life and comfortable
I was shocked to see raycons cost 3-4x times more than these! Honestly dont see why I'd pay so much for similar to lesser quality 😅
I'm definitely watching you again. Great job mate 👍
YES! So many youtubers are being sponsored by them(no hate). i really wanted to know how they are.

Thanks for the review I’ve been looking into some earbuds for my Birthday and this video really helped me out
I bought a pair of the E25 fully expecting to return them but I honestly love mine! I love everything about them from the rose gold color to the sound. I use them more for audiobooks, movies, and podcasts as opposed to music!
But have you ever used them to listen to music?
Yeah I don't get it. Some reviewers say they don't have enough bass and then you hear this guy say they have too much. I own airpods, soundcore, and Skullcandy earbuds. They've all been sitting in a drawer since I bought my e25s. Absolutely love them.
Just wait until you try actually good earbuds, many are way cheaper than raycons 😂
mines is blue
As someone who owns e25’s, the audio quality was perfect for me and i enjoyed the features it provided, but my big complaint is durability
They kind of just came apart one day and then stopped connecting for more than 5 minutes
In simple term. Raycons are crap.
I got sum 💀
I mean, it does have the word CON in the name. 🤣🤦🏽♂️
Basically.. i mean personally i don’t care for super high quality just give me a normal quality that is clear enough to hear the vocals over my metal and still enjoy every other aspect with enough depth that it doesn’t dound like you are listening trough a tea kettle.. i’m currently using the earbuds that come with my phone wich are just your regular samsung earbuds and those work fine for me.. the only wireless earbuds i might get are those samsung branded ones.. but even then i probably won’t because i know myself and i know i’ll just lose them
I own some and it sounds perfect to me
Idread ? Maybe because you’ve never had high quality earbuds but idk
Who remembers having to loop your earbuds through your hoodie to hide them in school? Damn I feel old now.
I had a hoodie that had the earbuds built into the hood

I still do this because I refuse to pay $180 for Airpods or something. My $10 earbuds have a great mic and they sound better than airpods.

thank you for your review, it was informative and on point.... for when you reviewed them. todya is December 18 2021 and I just received a pair and have to say i believe Raycon has listened to its reviewers and has made changes!!!! i have a pair of the everyday earbuds and first point is the charging... they have updated to use USB-C on the case! the sound quality is better than i expected given what you have said.. I am listening to them as i write this and i have to say the high and lows are well separated, i can hear high snaps and high hats mixed in well with mids and bass with out distortion, tere is now 3 sound profiles you can choose from, each providing a different listening experience. the case feels very high quality and has some weight to it, i do not know if they have changed the battery specs on this iteration. i just called my wife using the earbuds and she tells me it sounds like i am talking to her through a cheap Bluetooth device, so i have to believe they have not updated the microphone.
I picked up the E55 version for about 35 bucks on a sale from a podcast I listen to about 15 months ago. I like that they last about 6 hours but the sound quality is not great but just OK. I usually use them when I am outside doing yard work and want to listen to talk radio. When I want to listen to some music I generally change out to my wireless headphones which have great sound. Good review.
You doing the background research was very wise and has earned you my sub! Thanks!
Hi Mike, I ended up picking up one of the aliexpress ones (Blitzwolf BW FY5) to compare to the e25. Hope to see if they are actually similar or not. Can't wait to see your own conclusions on it and how it compares to mine :)
Good idea! I can't wait to see your comparison! It would be interesting to see a tear-down as well. If the internal components are the same, then we will know for sure!
Edit: You might also want to see if they charge in each other's cases
Soo did they get to you or what? You privated the video where you found those aliexpress ones and deleted your comment off of your review that talked about it. Seems fishy man.
Oh imagine if you two collab! My two favourite epic tech UA-camr
Thanks for the review. Was considering them but will definitely look around as it doesn’t fit what I’m looking for.
wow, just came across your channel, guessing as else where checking ear buds out, i have now subscribed, thank you for such a detailed review,
I mean, it’s not like in their ads they are going to say:
“Hey guys buy raycons! They are average at best and a little bit overpriced! :D”
The problem is they sound like $20 ear buds except they're $120. There's enthusiastic marketing and then there's just straight up lying about your shit product. I have $25 Anker blue tooth earbuds I bought for working out that sound way better than Raycon shit for 5x the price.
ConnorHD3 I think the main problem is that people are being over exposed to these ads but at least there are honest reviews on YT
They're not a little bit overpriced, they're massively overpriced. Dankpods reviewed them and found much better alternatives that do not suck and actually cost less. Raycons are just rebranded crap and belong in a bin
@@connorhd3201 well, from a bussinessman/corporation's point of view, what they're doing is a great model. Buying/sourcing cheap, and sell at a few times of the price, big profit.
Also they're not dumb. They play with the "grey area". they are not scamming. We can agree the shady part is the statement "sounds better than other earbuds in the market". Now, which market? Cheap, below $30 earbuds market? Also, "better" according to who? They'd argue, "according to us, it's better, I don't know about you....". So it's subjective, and they purposedly kept it that way. As long as it's subjective, it's not scamming.
Scamming is giving false information based on wrong facts. Like saying, "it's 100% made in germany", while in truth, it's made in china. Or, "it's true wireless earbuds", while in reality it got a wire connecting the left and right buds, making it not a true wireless earbuds.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not with them. I know for a fact there are a lot of other good sounding wireless buds for maybe half the price.
@Trails & Travel make a new brand, rinse and repeat.
Those mics sound like they’re from ten years ago. 😕
AWriterWandering they do.. just having a skype voicecall with my nan in 2009 be like 😂
Nah not even. They sound worse than any mic I've ever heard. Pretty sure the one that came with my 1998 OEM computer sounded better. Jeez.
@@Wokiis true.. i have this old ass logitech mic wich sound wise is fine.. (thought the camera died a while back)
Wokis Well To clarify, I meant the mics on Bluetooth headphones from ten years ago. BT has come a looong way since then.
yeah lmao my laptop thats really old (it was a pretty decent price, 250 bucks on black friday. its old and has no bluetooth support) has a way better microphone lmao the raycon mic sounds like the microphone a kid in a call of duty game would use to swear at people.
I honestly was in market for new earbuds, and my birthday was coming up so I planned on bringing these up with my wife. Appreciate the honesty of this review. They definitely don't seem to be able to handle what I am looking for.
Thank you for a thorough review! And for saving me money.
Hilariously, a Raycon commercial interrupted this review. LOL
Thank you for your honest reviews. I have learned to trust you and appreciate being able to know about a product before I buy it. Have never been disappointed.
Happy to help!
Thank you for your review , I feel the same way about the micro USB it's just not in no more old technology
I've had E25s for less than a year, and have owned two pairs so far. The first went through the wash on the first week.... the left earbud didn't survive. The second pair I've been using since, and because I only use them when I'm on the school bus or taking a walk, they survive a *very* long time without another charge. You do miss mentioning that the E25s DO have a wireless charging feature, and it's all I use the charging pad I have for.
I have a *massive* gripe with these nowadays. It started when my earbuds wouldn't turn off when I put them in the case and closed them, and had to turn them off manually with the buttons. The case survived six months. Six. I switched the case with my first case that survived the tumble in the wash, and it worked! So I forgot about it. Months later, I put my earbuds away to watch some UA-cam shorts with breakfast, and realised... the earbuds were still connected. Two damn cases, stopped detecting that the case was closed after barely any time.
I also cannot have them in my ears for more than an hour at a time. The incredibly heavy bass vibrates my ear and gives me intense migraines.
Honestly, they're real earbuds, but they suck ass after a half year. Don't get these, guys. Do your research first.
Oh boy. That Mic needs some work
Seriously...Needs the trash can...
Thanks dude I was looking into buying these for my boyfriend and this gave me great input. A good honest review man 👌🏻
I've used my raycon E55s daily for about six months and I love them. The mic isn't amazing but I have another headset with noise-cancelling microphone when a good mic is important. They hurt my ears much less than my airpods and don't get gummed up by my ear wax. I never use the air pods any more
Thank you for the honest review. As an impulse buyer I almost Jumped to buy and right before committing I came to my sense to actually check a review and after this, I think I would wait to find other buds . L
Thank you for this honesty. I'd heard about them from a brand deal and got excited when I saw how affordable they are, but I need my audio quality to not sounds like I spent ten bucks on them at Walgreen's
Dude, the sound quality on my e25s blows anything in its price range away. Don't knock them til you try them. It has an equalizer setting you don't have to put it in bass mode.
Good job researching the shopify site. Probably a straight copy. Buttons = yuk.
just my 2cents.. I have the E25 , had them for over a year now and I absolutely love them.. no complaints
I'm a victim of conrays, but I'll definitely be getting some samsung bud + soon, thanks for the honest review!
I’ve had two pairs of raycon e25s and they both stop working properly after about 5 months. The left earbuds eventually gets quieter and quieter. And also after a while their case falls apart easily.
Thanks
Cleaning your earbuds should help with that problem. I just cleaned mine today, and they're a lot louder than they were.
Ain’t even been a month & one of my earbuds stopped charging, when I fixed that it stopped pairing…I got scammed 🤦🏽♂️
I’ve had mine for a year. My case is beat tf up and earbuds but they still work fine. I washed them on accident by leaving in my jeans and they still work fine after I just put them in a sock and thrown in the dryer. They are actually pretty nice I love them

New word I learned today: Antiquated
Def: Too old to be fashionable, suitable, or useful.
Very cool. Thanks Mike!
How old are you that you've never heard that word? You must lead a sheltered life....
Not exactly a secret word.

After quite a few of my favorite youtubers have had the ads in their videos, I was looking to upgrade from my JLabs GO, but honestly, I think I will stick with them, I've had the JLabs for about 4 months now and they are great for the price. They aren't by any means the best out there, but for $25 I couldn't ask for more. It honestly sounds like these have LESS impressive specs than the Raycons. Thanks for saving me $80! (Now I can piss away my income tax on something else!)
Edit: I've actually done a test for JLabs call quality, and its great for what it is. I called my girlfriend from work, from my earbuds, and she was using hers at the time and answered them using her pair. It was pretty clear, no where near as muffled as the Raycons (in comparison, honestly they sound terrible)
i have a jlabs go pair of earbuds and the only issue is that sometimes it is hard to keep it inside but if u get it at a good enough angle it stays
Thank you! Great detailed review!
I have the E25's and constantly have issues with charging. I use them when I get home from work at night, connected to my computer. Many times, I've heard the "Low battery, please charge" voice, took them out immediately and charged them, only to find roughly 18 hours or so later, only one of the buds charged.
I've also has issues that, when I go to charge them, the indicator says the battery is still good in the capsule. When I go to use them again, the capsule flashes that it needs to be charged, and the ear buds didn't charge at all

haris Skillz feels bad man, you bought a Chinese rebrand. These were originally made in China and were rebranded by racon.
Thank you for an honest review! Hard to find one about these earbuds!
No offense, but I’ve never seen or heard of your channel before. From 0:00-1:36 the unbiased opening opinion, I respect that. Will definitely be checking out more videos and subscribing.
Thx for the honest opinion!
Enlightening and informative!👌🏽
Thank you for the honest opinion! I almost bought it!
Glad I helped!
Why would people love to buy these kind of electronic rubbish....company or product without company history or record...
Bruhh, is this the new “soulja console” for tws?
yup
🤣
The only difference is people are treating it like the best thing ever
the only difference, is that this isnt illegal. lol
Thank you for the very clear and honest review.
thank you for your honest review!
They are the first wireless ear buds I’ve ever owned (the e55s), so I like the convenience, but can see why people are not a fan. Next time I’ll do a better job researching, but overall, they got the job done
Same, I bought them a year ago and they've done great imo. Little gripes about features I'd like, but they work
Try some Tozo T6s
@@justinsnook1932 are talking about the “LOW BATTERY” message ? Lol
I bought mine on sale for about 40 bucks and they sound pretty good definitely not perfect. But I like how you did a genuine review. Myself think they are a pretty good everyday earbud if you don’t worry too much about sound. They definitely don’t sound terrible but not great. With little company effort these have potential.
I wish I could have heard your review before I ordered some for me and my wife.
Thank you.
While the E25's have great sound and reasonable comfort, I have been VERY disappointed with their longevity. Slightly before my warranty first ran out, one side became considerabley lower in volume. Raycon did replace them, but now - 3 months after the warranty ran out on those - one has almost no volume. I don't use them all that much, and I did expect to get more than a year out of them with such minimal usage.
Actually, I had this same problem. But than I discovered that the little tiny filter in your earbuds can be taken out. In which you can clean them off in the water. Keep it on your finger and put a tiny bit of water on it. And than rub a towel against it. I normally use a towel in order to get out the filter because of how small it is. However it's also fairly easy to loose and I had to replace my filters but the new filters work great! I would give that a go if you're having audio trouble in your earbuds.
Rubbing alcohol, take apart and clean them. My old everyday buds sounded new after cleaning
So basically: they suck but look ok.
Yeah the E25’s are way too bassey (too much bass)
Imo they don’t even look okay
I think they look decent, not the best look, not the crappiest. Designwise the Beans might be the top notch for a long time

I have heard them and they are not terrible as people are claiming. What I find funny is that people listening to wireless, MP3 via phones think they are talking about high quality audio.
This is a video I never thought I needed to see. Thanks, Mike! Keep up the great content! 😎
Hahaha I think that's a compliment. Thanks for watching!
Accurate assessments on these overblown products. Like they say there’s a sucker born everyday so it’s easy to rip them off with all these slick marketing ploys. Good job on this review👍👍😊
I love your reviews!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this review. These seem very similar to a brand I ordered off Amazon. Definitely seem like low cost, typical off brand made earbuds.
Love your honest and good review! Not horrible earbuds but also not the best, and most won't be disappointed, but consider other better alternatives that are out there!
you will be disappointed if u care abt sound
Thank you for the review, this was a great help with make my decision
Thank you for an honest review saved my curiosity
When ever I shop I like to buy some raycon shadow legends from wikibuy, it's a browser extension...
Dont forget to put on ur Nord VPN
I have the Raycon E55. I purchased these about nine months ago, mostly because all the hype. I have gone through a ton of wired wireless and true wireless over the last few years. I got tired of replacing earbuds every 3-4 months, due to battery issues and what I believe is moisture/water damage from sweating and environment (water/rain). The ONLY good feature of the Raycon E55 earbuds is the small case. Otherwise, they don't pair well with Android (I have a Samsung Galaxy Note9). Of note, they would pair instantaneously with my son and daughter's iPhone. They continually lose connectivity (in both buds or unilaterally); what's more, sometimes when taking them out f the case, only one of them will re-pair with my phone. I have to place both of them back into the case (to reset the connection) and then try to get them to synchronize. As far as fit, they are bulky. . ., irrespective of the multiple earbud tips and rubber fins. I have a huge Cro-Magnon head with big Cro-Magnon ears, and I can only tolerate the pressure for about an hour before my ear canals start to ache. I will definitely never purchase a Raycon product again. My humble assessment is… Don't believe the [Raycon] hype!
I've bought multiple earbuds from them, and the ones I never lost have me the same issues. Thank you for condemning this, I couldn't have said it better myself
Got the e55 2 years ago with a promo for $60 and honestly happy enough with the purchase. They're not groundbreaking by any means, but look good and good enough for podcasts and some casual music listening. Microphone isn't amazing, but not terrible either. I wouldn't pay today's full price for them, but if you can get a crazy deal, why not. If I had to spend what they cost today, I would look elsewhere.
I love your reviews. Fantastic job.
