Dude, these earbuds are advertised in every YouTube channel out there it seems. It actually pushed me to buy a pair a few months back. And honestly I'm not sure these are that great. Don't get me wrong, they have some decent base, and sound okay, but for $80+ I don't see it being worth that much money to be honest.

Does anyone here own a pair of Raycons? I feel they're a bit overrated because of how many people advertise them. I got a pair of wired earbuds that were not even name brand and they sound better than the raycons. But, I will admit the earbuds feel great in the ear and the case is cool. But that's all it's got going for me.

Have you guys purchased these earbuds? While I'm here, what other wireless earbuds are superior to the Raycons? I'm thinking of getting the ones from Samsung, but idk if I want to pay that much.

I haven't tried them but I have wondered how they are. I've been looking for some good wireless earbuds but I feel like so many never live up to the hype. I used to have a pair from Sony that were really good but they stopped charging after a few months. They weren't cheap so I was pretty mad about that. I've been tempted to buy the airpods but I'm hesitant to spend that much lol

I considered getting them because they were much cheaper than other options out there and have pretty solid reviews but I am still too attached to my earbuds with the wire. I know a lot of people hate them these days but I am old school. I like to hang them around my neck when I take them out. Wireless earbuds are more of a hassle imo.

I've always been enticed by these especially since it is a venture started by Ray J but I've had Air Pods for the past couple of years and have had no need to make any changes. I will probably look into raycons if I find myself needing to invest in a pair of sports ear buds.

The problem with wireless, is that you're probably not going to get the best quality sound. Considering that bluetooth connections can kinda suck, at least in my experience. If you want the best sound, I imagine a wired connection would be ideal.

Yeah, having to mess with bluetooth and syncing them can be annoying. With wired buds, you at least know what you're getting. With the Raycons, I found that sometimes one earbud would go out. And I don't get why, because they would start to work again later. Battery was fine, so that wasn't the issue. So I automatically assume it's something with bluetooth.

I think something like Raycon, is good for on the go. I do like that I can just use one earbud if I want. I like to leave one ear open when I'm on the go anyway.

Are the air pods the wireless buds from Apple? If so, I'd stick with those. I hear they have great sound and base. But they should be for the price they charge.

    That's why I stick with AirPods...no bluetooth pairing, the sound quality is amazing, and they sync across all my Apple devices.

    My neighbor has a pair and you are right the $80 price tag is a little steep, these are far from being a serious threat to the Beat by Dre line up. Don't get me wrong they ARE good but just not worth the $80, I just save a little more and get the Beats by Dra.

    I'm very much comfortable with using my Oraimo earbuds because they serve me very well more than I ever asked for. I don't see any essence in getting another.

    If it's not Samsung earbuds, I'm not interested. Yes, they are quite expensive when compared to others in the market but they are worth every penny I spent on getting them. I'm thinking about getting one of their latest Galaxy Buds Pro

    I had a pair. The sound quality was decent but I have had better sound coming from earbuds that have come with phones and were wired. I'm talking $20 pairs. After a few months, the left one lost sound quality and eventually stopped working all together. My brother had some as well and his lasted a lot longer than mine. Not sure why, I used mine less and was more careful.

    I make use of Oraimo earbuds while my niece uses the Samsung type. These popular earbuds are far more better when compared to new ones being produced by other companies. I can't spend up to 80 bucks and not get value for money spent.
