    What earbuds do you use and why?

    • @HyperScorpio8688
      @HyperScorpio8688 Před 3 lety +2

      None, because they all give me a headache, sound terrible and always run out of battery. Wireleass headphones are the thing for me :3

    • @jamesw2831
      @jamesw2831 Před 3 lety +2

      E I happen to use the Beats Flex. This is literally the best Bluetooth headphone in the $50 price. I was impressed with the sound stage and battery life. In terms of TWS, I hate them lol. They hurt my ears. Maybe the Beats buds? But I'm satisfied with the Beats Flex for the money. For real listening, I have Audio Technica M40x's and I am super satisfied.

    • @BBWolfy247
      @BBWolfy247 Před 10 měsíci

      I find it difficult to understand how you can view the Pixel Buds as a feasible substitute for the Raycons, considering the significant price difference. The Pixel Buds are priced at $200, whereas the Raycons are priced at $80. Raycons cater to individuals who may have budget constraints but still desire decent earbuds. Clearly, there are numerous superior alternatives available, but not for $80.

    • @ELJefeReviews
      @ELJefeReviews Před 10 měsíci +2

      Two years later the margin is wider for earbuds that can easily beat Raycon at the $80 price point:
      - JBL Live Free 2
      - Google Pixel Buds A-Series
      - Soundcore Space A40
      - Earfun Free Pro 3
      - Soundpeats Air Pro 4
      - Edifier W240TN
      Not to mention all the other options under $150 I’m leaving out.

  • @ChrisProfrock
    @ChrisProfrock Před rokem +11

    I've had my Raycons for a year now and I use them daily. They fit better than any other pair of earbuds I've had and my only complaint is the case is starting to lose charge now, which is understandable after a year. The sound quality is fine as well, I had galaxy buds before these and there was no major difference.

    • @masonprisco3782
      @masonprisco3782 Před rokem +1

    • @Kris-wo4pj
      @Kris-wo4pj Před 8 měsíci

      im on my 3rd pair. had no issues but they fell apart why to easily after dropping. i dropped my one pair only 3 times killed it. the second pair dropped once and went through the washer once died. new pair is the new style and battery is bad, cant use only one pair at a time without it freaking out, and cant just stop my podcast by hitting the touch button like i could with the older model. so i wish i could go back about a yr ago and get the older model.

  • @tonyvieson9194
    @tonyvieson9194 Před 2 lety +7

    I'd like to see a follow up review giving Raycon's another go. The complaints on the Raycons have been pretty consistent with regards to there older series, but it appears they took notice and really stepped up there game based on the reviews I'm seeing. Which from my prospective says a lot about the company. There taking the criticisms and making improvements.

    • @Kris-wo4pj
      @Kris-wo4pj Před 8 měsíci

    This is not why they are bad for me it’s the case I think the audio quality is fine. When I put the earbuds in the case they won’t turn off so they stay connected to my phone wasting the battery on the earbuds they also only will charge In the case half of time.

  • @ToothBrush531
    @ToothBrush531 Před 3 měsíci

    I’m glad that I had already ordered my raycons before watching this video otherwise I would have been stuck with my beats.
    After I ordered my raycons I saw that beats went on a 50% sale so I bought a pair and planned on returning my raycons.
    Pros about the beats:
    - sound quality is nice
    - the bass is especially nice
    - it has a good awareness and noise canceling mode
    - it’s got nice color options
    - and beats is owned by Apple so this product connects to my iPhone the same way a pair of AirPods would, I can also track them on my find my iPhone app if I ever lose them
    Cons
    - they’re just not comfortable for my ears even with trying the different insert options
    - THEY FRICKING WON’T CONNECT RELIABLY. Like 25% of the time when I open my beats and put the earbuds in it doesn’t connect so then I have to close them back up and retry and sometimes I have to retry multiple times in a row and turn my Bluetooth on and off to get them to connect. Idk if I got a defective item or if there’s something that I’m not aware of that I need to fix in my settings but it’s really annoying
    On the other hand: raycons are only $64 if you use their first time buyer coupon along with another coupon (just search Raycon coupon on google) at checkout, that includes shipping.
    They ACTUALLY CONNECT every single time without fail, which is how I’d expect a pair of nice earbuds to perform. And they are extremely comfortable and fit in my ears much nicer than the beats. I think this is due to the fact that raycons are more compact and they come with more insert options than the beats
    I can tell that beats have a SLIGHT edge in terms of sound quality, but this is no where near enough to account for the lack of reliable connectivity and uncomfortableness.
    Overall, raycons easily win in my eyes.

I like the clear bass sound. It’s so comfy for my ears I can’t explain it . I’m still willing to give any a try cause we all have different preferences to fit , sound and what is important for you .

    The sponsorships are fine and the content creators need to eat too.

    I just wanna put my opinion here cause i don't realize when this happened but i got raycons quite a few years ago an i swear they were only like 40$ for the everyday pair an they lasted me over like 3 years while working in a fishery (so yes they were pretty waterproof) its really sad to see the price hike in price (unless im just somehow remembering wrong) an to see that the quality apparently went down i actually really liked them when i had my pair.

    I had my raycons for a couple of months before one of them stopped working for no reason.
    The support team is awesome though so I got another pair within 2 weeks no problem.
    Here's the problem.
    This time my case died for no reason.
    I can still charge the case but the earbuds can't be charged using it and before anyone asks I'm not exactly rich so I made damn well sure I didn't drop them a single time in any way that could damage them, especially considering the first ones broke with the highest height I dropped them being about 10 cm right onto my soft ass bed.

      @@BooredAtWork all jokes aside, it kind of felt like having a hearing loss for certain frequencies. Everything was muddy, then there was no mids, and then there was a very annoying peak in the treble that made cymbals and (high screams all mashed together) sound like uncomfortable screaming of a child. There were zero layers and everything was one with either the kickdrums or the cymbals and there was nothing in between.

Now you could say "That's just a you problem and the Galaxy beans suck." But this is a problem with every single one of them, not to mention since they have non replaceable batteries in them, they'll eventually not work at all. Reject Modernity. Return to iPod.
