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

@Matt he managed to find some Bose qc35’s super cheap so it worked out

That’s pretty much 90% of online businesses and Raycon is actually doing a good job since this is the only video I have seen saying anything negative.

@@georgelin8498 order anything off of Wish and I dare you to tell me it's made with quality in mind

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 🤔

@@afreakinrpggamer they have cheapness in mind unlike raycons...

@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.

Why

Gonna listen to those whale sounds on audible?

👏👏👏

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. 😭😭

YOU LEGIT MADE ME LAUGH

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 did get a pair of their full-on headsets some years later and while they were relatively expensive, they're still serving me well years later. 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

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. if i robbed a bank and said to the judge "meh people gotta make money" i don't think it would end well for me, yeah sure not the same thing but it's still doesnt justify advertising shity products like theses

@@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

Me too. Mine are breaking down after only 4 months

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.

I hate these for two reasons ... Micro usb and ... Too expensive

Advertising + scam = profit for them

I'd assume it's because they often don't have to spend any money on R&D.

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.

True that, example for me would be beer. If it needs a commercial it is always dog shit.

@@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.

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. 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.

Its a great deal if you think about all of those "big" brands wanting hundreds for their buds.

That's actually surprising. Guess the advertising is worth it for them.

@@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*

@@xXJ4FARGAMERXx Except the comparison is Apple: A Quality, high price Other brands: B Quality, low price Raycon: C Quality, medium price

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6todaVeztWygqs.html

Perfect way to explain it. My friend bought some and this is exactly how I would describe them when he showed them to me

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

I got the sony wf 1000xm3 on sale for $170, if those go on sale again just pay the extra $50 for those.

In my experience every KZfaqr 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.

or if you want some bang in bucks , try KZ

That's the thing. I have absolutely no problem when KZfaq channels accept sponsorships. But I feel they have to be careful about what sponsorships they accept, and how wholeheartedly they endorse them. If a KZfaqr 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 KZfaqr'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.
