Even if we have tons of usb c cables thats still wild.

It's "to save the environment"

the buds hold 18 hours, you get use to it over time

I was thinking $20, too.

I dunno I feel like even for $20 you could get a pair that comes with a cable and a battery in the case, and probably sounds as good

Lol I said the same thing but you beat me to it. I 100% feel like they are relying on the branding and price point to carry them. I can see some parent on a budget possibly buying a pair for their kid when they may not be able to afford airpods. I watch a ton of review vids nowadays. But prior to like 2022, I can't say that I read too many reviews for stuff I bought(atleast headphones and earbuds). There are probably alot more ppl out there that just buy stuff they see on the shelf once they can afford it.

@@dmac5472 Yeah the branding is for sure gonna carry them heavy. Coz yeah some people are nit picky, and will watch several reviews and read several articles before making a purchase but some people are just cool with buying whatever they recognize on the shelf on the day. Seems such a weird decision from them coz they could have just priced them with similar competition and easily competed in that bracket and tier but i can see it from that money POV where if you have a big brand name you can basically cut costs like crazy and still have your product valued higher than where it should be. Coz anybody who does their homework knows that this is basically a really stripped down pair of buds being sold at a price point that they don't warrant.

I thought that was insane too!

Maybe apple is secretly run by Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) He said “You will own nothing, and you will be happy” Well maybe just the isheep will.

I've just bought a pair today, I was hoping for decent reviews

@@nigeljones1969 Nice 👌🏻 If you can get a good seal with the provided tips, you should get the best out of them, with a fuller sound and excellent passive noise isolation. These type of earphones only sound good with a decent seal. Mine seal so well with the largest tips, that I get a vacuum pressure feeling when I remove them. I used this guide to help figure out the kind of Apple Music EQ that I would like (I like ‘Hip Hop’ - Spotify also has a great EQ to play with): www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/apple-music-eq-presets-what-are-they-doing.25588/ Another tip is that if you experience low volume, you can try reconnecting/re-pairing them with your device. I experienced low volume initially, but switching between iPhone to iPad and then back to iPhone again has seemed to fix the issue permanently. Hope you are happy with your new Solo Buds!

Lol, I actually like my raycons tbh. I get that I could have likely found stuff that rates higher but I can't complain personally. That said I am no audiophile. I got over the ear headphones in a pinch before vacation a couple of yrs ago and got what I thought was a good deal using a code. I got the entry level earbuds after vacation because I liked the headphones. They serve my use cases pretty well. I don't really use EQs and the like so much because the bulk of my music listening is on an ipod touch 4th gen. I listen to some podcasts and watch youtube vids on the phone the earbuds. 2 yrs in and they've held up. I will say that after jumping into the review rabbit hole I am way more informed about products than I was before. Raycon will have to start offering competitive features and a solid app IF they want to be more respected by folks in the tech space. Meaning ppl more in the know than me lol

@@dmarr4941 Yep. They basically stripped them down so much that they can't even compete with competition at that price point. They are going to be carried by brand loyalty alone basically.

I have those and they have decent noise canceling, a really good battery in the case, and really good sound, and include a charging cable. I haven’t tried the Beats Solo buds and I know for a fact the air pro 3’s blow them out of the water in every way

$50? No, we got the soundpeats opera 3 at that price

These are perfect for $30

@@petermurage8685 you are right but I was factoring a little bit of Apple tax. At this current price the Apple tax is absurd for what you get.

Huge pile of...
