Like everyone watching this video, I watch a lot of youtube in my spare time. Even as I’m writing this script. I have something playing in the background. And since my fiancé watches a lot of commentary videos, I couldn’t help but notice many of those youtubers being sponsored by this brand. Raycon. Before YouTubers started talking about these, I never heard of them. What are they you ask? Supposedly great sound earbuds for half the cost of other main brand wireless earbuds. They’re even promoted by some celebrities like Drake, and Snoop Dog. So, I went out with my hard earned money, and bought these things so you don’t have to. Are they any good? Are they “the next wave in wireless audio”? Let’s find out with a little review.

This isn’t the average tech review like you’d see on my channel. We just want to see if this item is good enough.The bar is set pretty low here. Anyway, let’s start.

These are the Raycon E55 wireless earbuds. They cost $120 but costs $102 using the promo codes you receive from sponsored YouTubers. They come in a few colors, but honestly, some of these colors aren’t the best. I found the white or black ones to be cleanest, so I got the white ones. The box it comes in has 4 pairs of different ear tips. I found the ones it starts with were smaller than other earbuds, so you might want to switch those out. The best part of these earbuds is the case itself. It’s nice and solid. Makes a satisfying click when closed, is small and compact, and the earbuds magnetically attach to the case, making them harder to lose. But, I don’t like this aluminum foil looking trim. It really makes the case look cheap, and the foil feels like it’s about to peel and reveal some candy inside. Not a fan of that. There’s also a usb type c port for charging, has wireless charging and when it is charging, the case flashes a solid red led for charging and solid green when it’s fully charged. It has a total of 36 hours of battery in this tiny tiny case and is IPX4 water-resistant.

Moving onto the earbuds themselves. They look fine, almost like a pair of kidneys, its made of glossy hard plastic, and fit in my ears fine and did not fall out during a run on the treadmill or when I whipped my head back and forth. The chrome trim on the earbuds make them look and feel like some $30 walmart bargain bin earbuds. Not the best looking, or feeling earbuds at this price range. But looks and feel aren’t everything. These are earbuds Jimmy. Not a piece of art in a museum, and definitely not a luxury item. How do they sound….? It’s okay. It’s very heavy on the bass. The bass is overpowering on these earbuds, and it drowns out the mids and the highs. It makes it a bit hard to hear some details in music because it’s covered in bass. So, great. Get these if you’re a bass head right? Yes, but keep in mind the bass can sometimes get muddy sounding because it’s so loud compared to everything else, and because it’s more noticeable. Turning down the bass a little in eq settings makes them sound more balanced and they sound significantly better. Sadly, they don’t have their own app to change EQ settings, so you’d have to do that manually for each app you use. Overall, I’d describe the sound quality of these things as middle of the pack when compared to similarly priced competitors. Something I normally don’t mention. Return policy. They have a 45 day return policy which is fantastic considering these are wireless earbuds that sit in your nasty earwax filled ear holes. Most retail shops only give you 15-30.

So, overall, what do I think of the Raycon E55 truly wireless earbuds? There are better options out there in this price range in a few different areas. Here’s a few examples, The Samsung Galaxy buds are a great all-around good choice. The Anker Sound core liberty 2 pro have fantastic sound quality and features, and AirPods, while a little more expensive when on sale, has greater compatibility with Apple products. So, where does the Raycon E55 come in? For those who like bass, a lot of bass, and don’t care much about anything else. You’ll love these. They’re definitely doing good in that department.
