They tried to sponsor my channel. They sent them out and I was shocked by how poor they were. You could tell they were just rebranded trash from Alibaba. I am actually shocked that so many TH-camrs were promoting them. I would feel awful if one of my subs bought them on my recommendation
That's the thing. I have absolutely no problem when TH-cam channels accept sponsorships. But I feel they have to be careful about what sponsorships they accept, and how wholeheartedly they endorse them. If a TH-camr honestly believes some product is the best thing out there since sliced bread and wants to spread the word, then great. But if they're just shilling some rubbish they don't really understand and don't use (except when they're paid for it), then that really hurts that TH-camr's brand, IMO. If they really need the money from the sponsorship, just including the advert without any personal endorsement is a fair compromise, IMO, but many sponsorships insist that their ad sound like a personal endorsement (which is a clue to me that the product is probably garbage).

I talked to a successful lawyer at my work once, and I asked if he has one of those “side of the bus” ads. He told me “the lawyers who do their job good DONT NEED a bus advertisement or a ‘call 444-4444’ ad.” I think the same applies to rAyBons
@russianbear0027 if you want to find a good lawyer you have to look at reviews on various sites and talk to a couple of them before committing to paying so you know they are legit. Most good lawyers rely on word of mouth instead of ads so if you hear a lot of good things about one out of people's mouths in person then maybe it's okay. But most of this big Advertisement having simple number lawyers rely on people who are too desperate to find a better lawyer. THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU! Get someone reputable and local!
A good rule of thumb is that whenever you see a company promote a product so hard to the point of annoyance, it's likely said product is full of shit the company behind the product spent more time on marketing instead of making something good
I'd say an exception to this is VPNs. They sponsor soooo many TH-camrs but they're generally quite good, just gotta go for one that doesn't retain data.
@@Haririsoon VPN vendors can be misleading in the way they market to customers. Most mid-level and high traffic websites already encrypt data in transit using TLS because Google penalizes them for not doing so. However every VPN vendor markets their product by making it seem like your activity is completely visible without one.
@@alextherussian7366 I know what you mean but this also is not completely true. You can have a great product but if the market is over saturated people will stick with a brand that works rather than try something new. Good marketing is needed for any capitalist organization to thrive regardless of the product, but generally you as a consumer should never take any advertisement at face value. If something sounds too good to be true it almost definitely is. The quality of the product is only important for customer retention and satisfaction from a business perspective.
Not to mention every video praising the “sturdiness” of the earbuds never do anything to the earbuds without the case... It’s almost like the earbuds themselves are cheap crap and it’s the case that’s sturdy 🤔
@deez nuts actually, these headphones are crap. I bought them for a friend and I tried them. They are like regular earbuds with wires you can buy at Walmart. The only reason these get good reviews is because they hype bass and no one knows what a well mixed song anymore.
I’m gonna learn how to use my raycons that I bought with honey. Skillshare should be able to help, and after that with square space I’ll make a website on how to do so using either NORD VPN or Express VPN. After that I’ll go to my bathroom and shave with my $5 starter set from dollar shave club. Before a nice day ends I’ll get on my phone and play some Raid Shadow Legends. After my daily raid session is over, I’ll count how much money I have in my ridge wallet. I’ll fall asleep to the nice soothing sounds of whales banging one another on my Raycons.
Should have got the Kove Speaker for listening to whales banging instead of the Raycons. You can actually hear the moisture leaving their blow holes. 😭😭
that's very much true they are bad at the same time they have a lot of probloms so it's so bad should be never exsist like the dance monkey song witch it's the most cringest song ever heard and it makes me want to kill myself
I have a friend who got them before I knew them. I’ve warded many a poor bloke away from raycons, but alas this man rayconned before I could educate him. Needless to say, I’m now researching alternatives at his request/my offer
Jlab airpop from best buy for 30 bucks. Load up the charging/holding pack with power once and it lasts forever, like 3-5 days worth of hours not just on their own but putting back inside the thing. Not sure how the sound is in comparison to anything pricier, but i compare to oldschool skull candy, and for such a good price for wireless worth any trade ofd. Fall out easy though
Jlabs are decent. I try to look for sales just so I can get a higher quality product for a cheaper price because brain but if I do have to go with an actually budget product those would be one of the brands I'd recommend.
@@casualcrisis6349I was about to comment this. Got the go air pop for $50 Aussie bucks. Sound is what you can expect for Bluetooth but it’s definitely out of its price range. They prioritise sound quality over everything which is what I like. Especially since they don’t even have a cable it’s attached to the case
The fact that NO ONE was talking about this, except for sponsored ads was a huge redflag, if a product is good you will see reviews, comments, discussion and everything about it, and yes, maybe ads, but never ONLY ads
@@plixplop why the hell would that be fake ? It seems obvious to me that Raycons is trying their hardest to seem like the "nice guys" and issuing a few refunds for their garbage goes with it
To be honest, all these ads for the Raycons almost convinced me to buy them. And you, good sir, saved me a lot of money. You literally convinced me to buy the other wireless ones without even TRYING to. Gotta respect the hustle
All of the ads convinced me to not even think about buying them. Whenever something has ton of sponsorships and all of them are basically the same copyapsted template it sounds sketchy as fuck.
For years I was buying Vmoda Faze earbuds off amazon because you could nab em for 20 bucks and they were leagues better than Skullcandy (back when those were all the rage) so i'm sad those stopped existing.

I don't know if Vmoda still counts as the cheaper brand these days but they sure as shit were when I first discovered them

@@kannonfps Yes agreed, you worded it better than I would be able to. I also think it's especially disappointing when the people doing it are already extremely well off, it's much easier to excuse when the person is not rich or famous and is therefore just trying to stay afloat.
@@leolion3323 TL:DR: there is not a single person that should be excused for selling shity product to their audience no matter what their circumstance is, there is always other ways to make money, and this one should never be one of them. even people that are "struggling" to stay afloat should not be excused of selling a shity product to their audience, they are not called influencer for nothing ... whether they are famous or not it's still our responsibility to not spread good words on shity products let me give you a better example, let's say you find a product online, you start recommending it to your entire family and they buy it. but you don't even use the product or even bought it yourself, you just thought it looked cool and didnt do any researches. turns out to be a cheap and garbage product that should not be advertised at all that could even be dangerous in some cases. even if you don't make money out of it you are still responsible for the money your friends and family lost no? they trusted you and thought that you tested the product and were happy with it etc. Yeah they should have done their researches but victims are victims. if you fall for a scam it's not your fault. BTW advertising products like theses means that you are a part of the scam, yeah in the scenario i mentioned you are just a stupid ahole that recommended a shity product to your friends and family so you are not part of the scam but in the end you still hold the responsibility of the recommendation. we often shame people for their mistakes like buying something that was advertised as high quality when with 2 click you can see that it's a cheap ali express or wish product that is being sold 20/30x the original price. when the reality is that some people are just not educated and we should never blame victims when the blame should be placed upon the scammers. well that was a fucking long comment to say a few things :D

Really wish I'd seen this vid before buying my RayCons (granted, I bought their "gaming buds" not the original ones, but still) but it's a lesson for the future, if nothing else, so thanks for this!
My friend/coworker has a pair of RayCons and they’re missing the RayCon logo from the centre. Like, the plastic piece fell out and you can see the little board on the inside. She hasn’t even had them for that long, and from what she told me when I asked, it just kinda happened.
Same with ads on TV, radio, etc. If you see/hear an ad all the time, especially if they're obnoxious on purpose/make a point of using bs buzzwords and shit, A V O I D. It's probably crap, and even if it is legit, don't support that dogshit marketing
I've actually got a shitlist of companies that I've seen advertisements for on products which I might have bought if they hadn't done advertising. Everytime I see an ad the item goes down.
Happy 3 year anniversary to this video! There’s a reason why I’m here celebrating. This video was the first ever DankPods video I watched. Since then I’ve been led on a 3 year journey of funny nuggets, car repairs, drum history, and a smelly girl called Frank. Thank you Wade, James, Franklin and the 1 Grit.
yoo same! I first watched it somewhere in February/March 2021, caught up with the older videos to the point i actually watched all dankpods vids and wait for every friday to watch a new one. Truely a great channel.
Thanks man, I've been meaning to buy Raycons but you stopped me at just about the right time. I might check out those Taltronics or however they are called
If you want to hear some pretty amazing buds, check out the JBL Live 300 true wireless. They're my favorite so far and they aren't stupidly expensive. I got mine for $119 Edit: I put they are expensive but meant they aren't.
Yeah. Def those f’rs at the fed level bought them for me with the stimulus check. Still a justified purchase for the product to me. Pun intended. I’ll go check out the jbl, for work (construction), and places where I don’t have to protect a $300 purchase. Only negative I have about the senns is they bother my ear after about 2-3 hours being left in.
I was looking for cheaper buds so I don't take my Bose everywhere and I remembered TH-camrs mentioning how affordable and good Raycons were. So I went to check them out and then saw how expensive they are! It would be a similar price to just buying another pair of Bose refurbished. I'm glad I passed over them!
The Raycons have the best active noise cancelling ever! Just play a super bassy track at max volume and there you go! It even works when you take them out!
I bought some Raycons a few months ago and had similar feelings. They *literally* sounded like I was playing music in another room, with my ear pressed up against the wall. Absolute garbage.
In my experience every TH-camr I've seen sponsored by them never actually use them outside of the sponsored segment of the video. The worst part is they all say they are affordable compared to competitors yet Anker makes a whole line of different, true-wireless headphones that are cheaper AND better quality.
as a raycon user, my biggest fucking complaint is actually how small it is. its listed as one of the positives but its actually hell in disguise. i lose them around my room all the damn time and its so irritating. in fact, its 1:40am for me right now and i’ve spent all this time digging around my room trying to find them to no avail. i just know they’re gonna be in some stupid ass place i have no recollection of putting them.
I mean I don't have anything against advertisement itself, you need advertisement even if your product is good, that's just the way it is. But man, the RanCans literally sponsoring every youtuber under the sun? You just KNOW something is up. And what gets me the most is almost all of them are like "look I ain't no audiophile or anything but these sound REALLY GOOD TRUST ME". No .. no mr. gaming youtuber, I DON'T trust your opinion on how good they sound. Like at all.
@@Midaspl here ya go it has that extra bass but not overdone x100 with the rayscon www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/taotronics/soundliberty-79-truly-wireless
I'm so happy to hear this. My parents bought me Raycons at one point (because like god bless 'em how are they gonna know any better) and they were legit worse than the first pair of wireless earbuds I bought off amazon for like $30. 1/3 the battery life, worse sound, broke within a month of regular use, and more expensive. It just goes to show: never trust a big marketing budget. The more a company spends on marketing, the less they spend on making an actually decent product.
Buy a Xiaomi Redmi AirBuds 2, it has a great amount of bass, cheap as fuck and it sounds really good, my 10 year old aunt has one, i tested it, and i recommend it. It's available for 80 Brazilian Reals (Something about 30 bucks on the USA?)
This video popped up in my recommended today. After watching the entire video, I can now conclude that this dude is absolutely insane.

@@00maniacmanny00 I was being sarcastic about an ipad review bc he said it was continuously smashed since he started making videos, implying the ipad's quality speaks for itself
I genuinely thought they were a good product even though I never tried them. I just believed that since so many TH-camrs advertised them they had to be somewhat decent. Guess not lmao.
@@gabemerritt3139 Advertising is usually worth it unfortunately. I believed they were good too without trying them, and I usually roll my eyes at almost all ads/sponsorships I see.
You know the problem is that at the start you say "I thought they were a _good_ product" Then you go "I just believed that ... They had to be somewhat decent" And at the end you go "guess not" Like, if you believed they were good, yeah they are good If you believed they were decent Yeah, they're really decent But you can't just say "guess not", Yes, price wise, there's better prices, but still, they are more than decent It's like apple vs every other company: Apple: 9/10 material, $$$$ prices Every other company: 8/10 material, $$$ prices The reason you shouldn't buy apple isn't because they're trash, it's just that the *good* they provide is way too overpriced Other companies give you normally priced *good enough*
I was suspicious of raycons the second every single youtuber I knew started advertising them. It's the raid shadow legends effect where I feel like the over advertising is compensating for a lackluster product
@@imveryepic2577 if a product is overly advertised, it is overpriced as well. They have to get all that marketing money back somehow, and that will be visible in the price.
@@wildman510 I think comparing cars (which cost a massive amount, where the marketing budget probably isn't as much of a consideration as on consumer electronics) is not wise. There are reasons to not like people who drive BMWs or the company itself, and I am not sure 'over-advertising' is one of them.
I almost bought RayCons today and then saw the price and thought “ok, I’ll pay it, but gonna make sure it’s worth it first.” Thanks so much for this video. 1000 times over, thank you. Saved me $100.

@@JimmyPizzaDelivery my mom bought a headphone for around 30$ to 50$ the quality was already bad it also looked sketchy and bad like a ripoff and you couldn’t even put the charger without all your might it stopped working in 6 days
@Cheecho I mean I know people who bought them by putting aside money over multiple paychecks and didn't realize they weren't that great. I mean if your favorite creator who seems to be reliable and trustworthy it makes sense that they trust them
i know we're just here for shitting on raycons but that frequency spectrum bit was one of the best and most concise explanations I've ever seen of that concept. incredible work
I noticed that the sponsored TH-camrs always mention that they "seamlessly pair to your Bluetooth devices." I mean, which half-decent earphones don't? If that's worth a mention, you can see the Raycons aren't competing with the top, but instead are trying to distance themselves from the bargain bin.
yeah! my relatively cheap earphones (about 7-10 usd, i don't remember how much my dad got it for) connect with bluetooth just fine! fancy words can get you far in marketing, i suppose

Hello Dank Pods + other channels + Frank. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours a long time ago. I bought some SoundLiberties a few months later, and now have some KZ’s a few years later. Different models but still. I also recently got a pair of open backs. You have started me on an audiophile path. I’m still hitting the budget stuff, and I probably won’t delve into the 1000’s of dollars, but I’m having a lot of fun. Thanks!
@@jimbob7463 they are actually great, i have an samsung a5 2017 and the connection is super stable, better than with any bluetooth speaker. I can go through our whole apartment with my phone in the kitchen. Sound is good, aint the best but surely isnt the worst. Refurbished they are like 30 Euro. Its a great deal if you think about all of those "big" brands wanting hundreds for their buds. The only con is that the touch buttons dont really work for me, but the volume control always works since it only needs one tap and seem to have trouble recognizing more than one tap. I am really happy with them. I never ever had them empty even tho i sleep with headphones on so battery life is also great.
Finally, someone who talks about them the way I can understand and puts evidence behind it...not like I have any hopes that ear buds would even fit in more than just my left ear (albeit my experience stems from headphones that were included in late 2000s feature phones and early iPod Touches) Point being, I'm thankful that you made a video on these as I'd rather trust the word of a musician and audiophile than some rando I never heard about
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
Raycons are hilarious. So many ways to improve them and actually make them good, instead of cost cutting everywhere in places the user can see/hear/feel. If the damn things were $20-$40, and were stocked in dollar stores and Walmarts everywhere, they'd fit in better lmao.
i was just about to buy them off of nilered's sponsor link and then i thought; "lets actually look at review first" first off review aside, this was a very entertaining video to watch. Commentary was hilarious. then not only did you give actual data to support your review you gave TWO subs you recommended that werent even sponsored. BRAVO you earned a like, comment, and sub. hope your channel grows.
This just pop up to me, I was interested but I don't buy stuff in the internet anyway, when he said nice cardboard or something like that I knew that the answer was going to be that it's overpriced.
My sister gave me her old raycons and I was thinking about upgrading since they've been decent and the battery life was better than my Skullcandy ones, but the price just makes me bulk.

@Lassi Kinnunen you can ship stuff from china, but if you're a company, even overseas, you are expected to handle returns and refunds under Australian Consumer Law. So if they say "PrEmIuM SoUnD" and if they don't deliver on that, that is a legitimate reason for a return or exchange. If they don't, there are government bodies you can complain to. (Edit: fixed pronouns)
Can't remember where I heard it but something that always stuck with me is that if something has an enormous advertising budget it means they're probably skimping on R&D and the product will suck.
Raycons play with my emotions because, on one hand, hearing yet another Raycon ad read off by my TH-camrs pisses me off, but on the other, I’m glad they’re getting sponsored like “Yeah you get that bread”
@@supernintendo182 most are exactly one minute long so its easy to skip, and youtubers (at least some of the ones i watch) put a little bar so you can see when its ending
The best sponsorships is when the TH-camr actually does something interesting or creative with the product, rather than the overdone, same scripted non-sense companies want you to hear. Take Internet Historian for example
Thank you for reviewing these. I was genuinely curious about the quality.

@@BluePieNinjaTV yeah for sure. It makes sense for those headphones to be configured in a certain way to maximise clarity in loud places. However, I also feel we're giving too much credit to probably the cheapest earphones to manufacture lol.
A guy in my class last year tried to flex these things all over me and my classmates saying they where "800 (american) dollars" and "Better than the AirPods Pros". I think we where being lied to.
Raycons were my first wireless earbuds ever (I have been using wired headphones my whole life, but finally got sick of the chord around the jack breaking from being bent which cuts off the audio), because i had just graduated, got a job, and turned 18 and was gullible enough to buy them just because of the aggressive advertising. A couple months after I got them, the right earbud got annoyingly quieter than left one and it is the most obnoxious thing in the world. I hear no difference between the different sound modes, and they often refuse to change to them. They also keep disconnecting and cutting out of the bluetooth connection. They keep falling out of my ears and almost landed in the toilet at one point, and I am scared to get another pair of wireless earbuds because this was a terrible introduction to them.
I’ve had raycons for 3 months with no problems. I couldn’t ask for anything better, amazing sound, amazing fit, I don’t mind the box, (I’m literally a kid so not sponsored) I’m using them right now.
A friend of mine got a raycon boombox, it lasted for 1 year before it shat itself and died. That was with only moderate use. Meanwhile, ive had a pair of Skullcandy Dimes ($23) that are as old as the boombox and still work. Not to mention they sound better.
I had two pairs of them over the past few years and after less than a year they would already start to break. They would stay connected after I put them back in the case and they would die fast. JBL superior
They tried to sponsor my channel. They sent them out and I was shocked by how poor they were. You could tell they were just rebranded trash from Alibaba. I am actually shocked that so many TH-camrs were promoting them. I would feel awful if one of my subs bought them on my recommendation
That's the thing. I have absolutely no problem when TH-cam channels accept sponsorships. But I feel they have to be careful about what sponsorships they accept, and how wholeheartedly they endorse them. If a TH-camr honestly believes some product is the best thing out there since sliced bread and wants to spread the word, then great. But if they're just shilling some rubbish they don't really understand and don't use (except when they're paid for it), then that really hurts that TH-camr's brand, IMO. If they really need the money from the sponsorship, just including the advert without any personal endorsement is a fair compromise, IMO, but many sponsorships insist that their ad sound like a personal endorsement (which is a clue to me that the product is probably garbage).
It would have been really sad if u accepted that offer.
didn't expect to see you here
I really like your videos, started my engineering degree this year :D
Sadly there are so many TH-camrs that make them seem like the best headphones ever.

A good product promotes itself, bad have to be promoted heavily.
@@alextherussian7366 I know what you mean but this also is not completely true. You can have a great product but if the market is over saturated people will stick with a brand that works rather than try something new.

If something sounds too good to be true it almost definitely is. The quality of the product is only important for customer retention and satisfaction from a business perspective.
The biggest red flag for me was just how expansive their marketing attack was. Sure sign of poor product when 99% of the budget is marketing.

Jlab airpop from best buy for 30 bucks. Load up the charging/holding pack with power once and it lasts forever, like 3-5 days worth of hours not just on their own but putting back inside the thing.

Jlabs are decent. I try to look for sales just so I can get a higher quality product for a cheaper price because brain but if I do have to go with an actually budget product those would be one of the brands I'd recommend.

Meh, people gotta make money, it's an ad not a political campaign. Shouldn't let an ad be your final decision on buying something that's 100$+ anyways
The reality is that the company made more money than they spend on sponsors. Otherwise they wouldnt have the money to sponsors.
@@aff77141 problem is they trust said creators, therefore if the creator advertise said product a lot of them will go and buy them and then get scammed... yeah technically it's their fault for not doing any research and such but in the end the blame goes for the ones that advertise shity product in the first place for some easy cash... if it were me i would never advertise for a product i don't use or think it's garbage and most of the people that advertise shit like raycon don't use them on a daily basis but pretend to ... and that's not right.

TL:DR: there is not a single person that should be excused for selling shity product to their audience no matter what their circumstance is, there is always other ways to make money, and this one should never be one of them.
even people that are "struggling" to stay afloat should not be excused of selling a shity product to their audience, they are not called influencer for nothing ... whether they are famous or not it's still our responsibility to not spread good words on shity products
let me give you a better example, let's say you find a product online, you start recommending it to your entire family and they buy it.
but you don't even use the product or even bought it yourself, you just thought it looked cool and didnt do any researches.
turns out to be a cheap and garbage product that should not be advertised at all that could even be dangerous in some cases.
even if you don't make money out of it you are still responsible for the money your friends and family lost no? they trusted you and thought that you tested the product and were happy with it etc.
Yeah they should have done their researches but victims are victims.
if you fall for a scam it's not your fault.
BTW advertising products like theses means that you are a part of the scam, yeah in the scenario i mentioned you are just a stupid ahole that recommended a shity product to your friends and family so you are not part of the scam but in the end you still hold the responsibility of the recommendation.
we often shame people for their mistakes like buying something that was advertised as high quality when with 2 click you can see that it's a cheap ali express or wish product that is being sold 20/30x the original price.
when the reality is that some people are just not educated and we should never blame victims when the blame should be placed upon the scammers.

Basically they are cheap Chinese earbuds from Wish that are repackaged with a new logo/look.

In my experience every TH-camr I've seen sponsored by them never actually use them outside of the sponsored segment of the video. The worst part is they all say they are affordable compared to competitors yet Anker makes a whole line of different, true-wireless headphones that are cheaper AND better quality.

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
Raycons are hilarious. So many ways to improve them and actually make them good, instead of cost cutting everywhere in places the user can see/hear/feel. If the damn things were $20-$40, and were stocked in dollar stores and Walmarts everywhere, they'd fit in better lmao.

They probably spend more money on celebrity sponsors than money on making them good. 🤣
Jlab pop air absolutely destroy these in the same package size and style.
i was just about to buy them off of nilered's sponsor link and then i thought;
"lets actually look at review first"
first off review aside, this was a very entertaining video to watch. Commentary was hilarious.
then not only did you give actual data to support your review you gave TWO subs you recommended that werent even sponsored.
BRAVO you earned a like, comment, and sub.
hope your channel grows.
This just pop up to me, I was interested but I don't buy stuff in the internet anyway, when he said nice cardboard or something like that I knew that the answer was going to be that it's overpriced.
Me too! Nilered gang rise up
I'm not even that much into sound but you bet im binging these because the dude is hillarious
Never buy a product sponsored by someone who is getting payed to tell you how great it is
@@Errupt that's friggin godawful advice
Raycon: We only have bass!
Everyone: But we also need the treble
Raycon: *It is the next wave* !
Should say mids rather than treble
Oh it was the next base wave... I get it now
More like the only wave
Don't you know that it's all about the bass, bout that bass, no treble
it does have treble, piercing, painful, treble
My sister gave me her old raycons and I was thinking about upgrading since they've been decent and the battery life was better than my Skullcandy ones, but the price just makes me bulk.
It makes this homie bulk! 💪
get airpods i have them and they are still very good, even when i had hearing issues
Bulk Bogan
Poooomp
"Balk," I think is the word you want.
Unless you actually gain weight by looking at the price of raycons, in which case carry on.
Looking at the graph be like: “Raycon’s: where everything is a trap remix”
Who the fuck needs mids anyway when my favourite wrapper xX_LIL-big-69420_GucciPumpGangCashMoney_xX be spittin fire bars so mumbled that you might as well dunk your $1 mic under water to achieve the same effect?! BUMP THAT BASS, HI HAT GO SSSSSSSSSSSSS, 808 GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Rule of thumb: The more youtube ad's you see for a product, the worse it is.
Wise words indeed...
And some weird browser extension to get money back from shopping named “Wikibuy” comes into stage to humiliate itself.
I want to see a master list of overpromoted products and services on TH-cam to pair real reviews against sponsorship praises.
Just off the top of my head.... Raid Shadow Legends, Raycons, Ridge Wallet, Nord VPN, Manscaped, Ting.....

@@AlbySilly Curiosity Stream is pretty cool. Not a big selection, but many interesting documentaries
I’m sorry, I read the title as “I bought Raccoons”

"Not shipping to Australia" because Oz has some pretty consumer-friendly product laws.
I didn't think about that....
ACCC! ACCC! Goooooooo Consumer Law!
@Lassi Kinnunen you can ship stuff from china, but if you're a company, even overseas, you are expected to handle returns and refunds under Australian Consumer Law. So if they say "PrEmIuM SoUnD" and if they don't deliver on that, that is a legitimate reason for a return or exchange. If they don't, there are government bodies you can complain to. (Edit: fixed pronouns)
See this video about the Australian consumer law on exchanges. This also applies to online orders. th-cam.com/video/uE8BB-ioNRw/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, that was exactly my thought 🤣
@Lassi Kinnunen China just doesn't care about other countries laws lol

Can't remember where I heard it but something that always stuck with me is that if something has an enormous advertising budget it means they're probably skimping on R&D and the product will suck.

Raycons play with my emotions because, on one hand, hearing yet another Raycon ad read off by my TH-camrs pisses me off, but on the other, I’m glad they’re getting sponsored like “Yeah you get that bread”
I think there are browser plugins that auto-skip those segments
@@supernintendo182 most are exactly one minute long so its easy to skip, and youtubers (at least some of the ones i watch) put a little bar so you can see when its ending
I don't know why people get mad about youtubers getting sponsors, it's not that hard to skip and it's giving the channel support.
i have 0 money to give out so the most i can do is wwtch content creators' ads! gotta support them tbh
The best sponsorships is when the TH-camr actually does something interesting or creative with the product, rather than the overdone, same scripted non-sense companies want you to hear.
Take Internet Historian for example
Alternate title: “I never want to be sponsored by Raycon”
Or : "hey raycon wanna sponsor me ?
-no
- oh really ? You'll see , I'll do it for free ...
Well, their parts are good for being recyclable into something else that is useful.
With this video he guaranteed it. Raycon is not looking to sponsor him after this.
Or maybe they are dumb enough to try to sponsor him like RAID: Shadow Legend does
@@TheEsdaniel xd
Thank you for reviewing these. I was genuinely curious about the quality. I knew they weren't going to beat out any kind of high priced earphones, but I was just curious enough to actually possibly purchase them in the future. Those plans are now canceled. Thank you for showing me what they really sound like.
Thank you, Raycon. Because of your shitty wireless earbuds I was blessed to find this extremely funny Australian man in my TH-cam recommendation.

They blocked these from being sent to the entire Australian continent for fear that they'd end up getting absolutely torn apart on this channel.
When a company tries to advertise as hard as raycon does, it immediately makes me skeptical.
Kinda like beats during their prime

Ooh
Is it as good as a decent earphones? Im quite curious
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 nah every free or super cheap pair of earphones I've gotten from flights/ tours/ etc. are super bass heavy and throw some ting-a-lings at the highs just like that RayCon graph in this video. Basically anything that's unbelievably cheap is going to be cheap and nasty, but hey, YMMV (your mileage may vary) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
@@JackieAych fair enough. I also have low hopes on things like offers and savings stuff
@@JackieAych I'm guessing that's because on a flight the engine noise is insane
@@BluePieNinjaTV yeah for sure. It makes sense for those headphones to be configured in a certain way to maximise clarity in loud places. However, I also feel we're giving too much credit to probably the cheapest earphones to manufacture lol.
Raycon spent their budget on sponsoring youtubers and making the box look nice
just like beats but sponsoring famous people
Thats all you need to turn a profit.
@@e4Bc4Qf3Qf7unfortunately thats true..
True
@@MetalGearExcelsusMGRR honestly yeah but atleast beats do sound good for the most part. Raycons are actual shit.
I like how you talk about just wanting to sit down and listen to music. I never really got it but I have been seeing myself doing that as well
A guy in my class last year tried to flex these things all over me and my classmates saying they where "800 (american) dollars" and "Better than the AirPods Pros". I think we where being lied to.
That amazes me especially since they’re so heavily advertised as cheap. Like has no one in your class been on TH-cam?
@@ladigoos8835 Oh, we all knew it was complete BS, it was just so funny how dumb he thought we where.
@@alphadawg040 it makes me think he wanted the pros, his mom got him raycon, and he was so pissed about it but still wanted to brag
@@ladigoos8835 I think that's exactly what happened. Compared to the Pros, or even the standard AirPods, the raycons sucked.

This guy cranking out **TWO** videos while I'm stuggling to sleep on the other side of the planet, so I ain't complaining!
Raycons were my first wireless earbuds ever (I have been using wired headphones my whole life, but finally got sick of the chord around the jack breaking from being bent which cuts off the audio), because i had just graduated, got a job, and turned 18 and was gullible enough to buy them just because of the aggressive advertising. A couple months after I got them, the right earbud got annoyingly quieter than left one and it is the most obnoxious thing in the world. I hear no difference between the different sound modes, and they often refuse to change to them. They also keep disconnecting and cutting out of the bluetooth connection. They keep falling out of my ears and almost landed in the toilet at one point, and I am scared to get another pair of wireless earbuds because this was a terrible introduction to them.
