      But he compared wired earphones to wireless ones, apples to oranges. Also compared it to HD600 initially, apples to oranges again. I know Raycons ain't worth the money, but the comparisons don't make sense. I feel like he is not really reviewing it, he's just hating on it.
      p.s. i ain't paying more than $50 for a earphones so i don't care about raycons, but i do like watching reasonable reviews. This did not seem to be one.

      But in addition: Raycon's entire premise is that they deliver a premium sound for less than premium sound amounts of dosh. They're aimed at people that don't want to, or can't, pay for the wireless buds that cost in the hundreds. $20-30 for KZ IEMs, and a $10 dongle if you need one, and they actually deliver on the high end sound for low end cost premise.

      @@sepg5084 I think you completely missed the point, he was just saying for $20 even though its wired you can get a pair of headphones that sound better than $90 wireless buds, so if you are in the market for good buds at a much lower price, which seems to be Raycons whole selling point, that they are cheaper than all the coipition, your better off getting a pair of wired buds for $20 for better quality build and sound. idk how you missed that you must be as smart as a box of rocks.

      Yep, it’s unfortunate but the only option for what Raycon advertise “cheaper with same features as premium brands”, there’s only Chinese brands. They are selling on Amazon for much more than what they sell for locally as well, but still a lot cheaper than anything with the same feature list, albeit at worse sound. Raycon is not even close to what those offer.

    • @mjc0961
      @mjc0961 3 года назад +652

      Wireless charging in general sucks. It's less efficient, you lose some of your charging as heat, which means it takes longer to charge and it heats the battery up more, which reduces long term battery life. Just the way the manufacturers want it, so your battery dies sooner and you buy a new phone sooner.
      All that, and it's not even wireless. There's a wire going from a power supply to the wireless charging base. I can bypass all the disadvantages of this technology by just taking that wire and plugging it into my phone instead of the charging base. And then when I'm done charging, a wire is easier to tuck away and recover the desk space than a charging base is.

    • @danielm.595
      @danielm.595 3 года назад +238

      @Harrison Gist wireless charging works by electro magnetism, which induces the charge from the charger into the coils of the phone. This, however, as said by mjc0961, is incredibly less effective than normal charging because, unlike cabled charging, it does not connect directly into the circuits, letting a huge amount of energy escape ( whose a part becomes heat )as it tries to penetrate through glass (which also creates heat), and, as you know, heat, specially in small, fragile parts, is not a good thing.
      Ps: I'm not an expert in this area, but based on my knowledge from school and college, I think that's how it works.

      Skillshare is just payed youtube. Better organised and you don't have to wade trough loads of old vids, and vids with production values so low that it is hard to follow.
      You can find all that suff on youtube already but skillshare makes kt very easy and you know the vids come from actual profesionals and production values are pretty decent at the least.
      And if you are learning something new like editing or something it is certainly worth the couple of bucks to have all the stuff easilly available.
      Hello fresh is also actually pretty good for what it is. It just is expensive but everything that is delivery of convenience always is.
      I found it a good way to get into cooking that goes beyond heating up some stuff from a can, cooking some pasta and throwing it all together lol.
      It's all easy to make for novices, everything you need is in the box and it actually is pretty tasty.
      But it is made to fit a certain people with a certain lifestyle, and i'm sure it's the best thing ever for them. For me after a couple of months i just went to the store myself to get what i needed, and still do today. But like i said, it did made me confident enough in my cooking skills to start trying stuff on my own.

    Honestly 100% I respect RayCon for reaching out and just asking for an honest review. That’s shows 1. Confidence in their product (even if it’s unfounded at points, it shows that they want their product to be publicly either praised or criticized, leaving room for improvement) and 2. Willingness to improve
    This actually shows the difference to me between something like RAID: Shadow Legends. RayCon is showing they want to improve and make good on their promise of good sound for great value. Idk I just don’t see RAID running around telling game reviewers to please review their game, not expecting anything.

      Raycon is smart enough to know that all advertising is good advertising and by watching an honest bad review, which pretty much means there’s no chance they say “this product is shit and fuck everybody associated with it,” in 6 months when you’ve completely forgotten you ever watched this video, you’ll need earbuds and you’ll think of Raycons because they’re advertised by youtubers pretending to personally endorse them everywhere and you’ll think you saw someone who knew what they were talking about say some good things about it at some point. This is just free advertising for them, even if it is negative.

      I mean, RayCon is, for one, a legit company with no shady business (or at least not as shady). I think reaching out was if anything a tactic to reduce the blow, his original video got millions of views, and although it wasn’t the first critical video it was definitely more straight forward than others, some reviewers essentially sugarcoated their criticism while this guy deservedly trashed their product.
      As for the improvement part, i think they’ll improve as much as the industry lets them, as far as I’m concerned, they’re a private labeling company, which means they don’t actually make the product and instead only slap a logo on them.

But y'know I didn't want to start with anything hard or fragile or sharp or dangerous right, so I just tried to juggle her cats eh. So like Im a good six seconds into my cat juggling routine here mate, its harder than you think because the kittens weigh less than the full grown cat mate, so its all a bit daddy wumpus, so she's just screaming mate, so I'm like, OHH mate she's loving this, so I get the pug in there too mate, but whah they're dense mate they're really (inaudable) so needless to say mate the pug got thrown out the window. So like the pug's got out the window yeah, which is a total bummer because we're like in a houseboat, so he's out in the water paddling about mate, so I gotta hop in the captains chair, chuck a uee mate, boy chucked her a bit too hard mate, she's not like nana's commadore at all, and like she totally went under mate, but got the pug back but at this rate we might have to eat him to survive"

    Raycon are relying on the placebo effect for their sound quality, they say it's "better" so everyone perceives it as better, it might actually be better but not by as much as they claim.

      The average consumer has the audio palette of a crow and gets their neurons activated shiny and sparkly things.
      If has allot of bass and sparkly treble it must be good. A good chunk of today's music is geared towards that anyway, so they stay in the dark about what is supposed to sound even halfway decent.
      That's why quite a few people will say "these Raycon E25's sound great!", not knowing that mids even exist.
      Even 12 dollar Moondrop Quarks completely destroy these things, never mind things like the Blon BL03, Tin T2 or Moondrop Crescent.
      Buddy of mine wanted to buy a pair of E25's, but got his payment got rejected so he never received them.
      So me and a few friends pooled some money and are giving him a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's for his birthday instead.
      He'll thank us later when I send him Dankpod's reviews on these RUclips sponsorship abominations and hand him a pair of buds that don't suck.
