    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 TH-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 TH-cam sponsorship space.
    3) I have been made aware that some other TH-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

      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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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'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 TH-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.

      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.

    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 can use working out. doing yard work, sleeping with no falling out or discomfort. I don't really use for phone calls so cannot comment on that. As far a noise cancellation all I can say is when I am mowing my lawn and have earbuds in listening to music or talk I do not need to crank up volume to hear over lawn mower. So it is "cancelling" out enough that the noise from loud lawn mower is not an issue. Maybe not for everyone but I would not consider them trash or rip off as some comments imply.

    I bought into the hype and purchased the E25s after several of my favorite podcasters raved about them . I was slightly disappointed. When I have my phone in my back pocket I turn my head to the left or right and one of them loses connection for a few seconds. The audio quality is good but not great probably on par for the price though

    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.

    I was considering getting raycons for a while, but my main concern was the audio quality. Since they have similar issues to the disposable headphones I've been using for a while, I think I'll pass on them. Those had often subdued audio, muffled audio or were just prone to break just by tugging at the wires the wrong way. Also, the disposables I got were in a 3-pack for $5, with one set of the headphones basically being wired raycons anyway that fell out easily and were magnets for earwax, especially for prolonged usage.
