I bought Raycons.

[@RealEngineering]

They tried to sponsor my channel. They sent them out and I was shocked by how poor they were. You could tell they were just rebranded trash from Alibaba. I am actually shocked that so many KZbinrs were promoting them. I would feel awful if one of my subs bought them on my recommendation

[@rodh1404]

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

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

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. kzbin.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

Its a great deal if you think about all of those "big" brands wanting hundreds for their buds. The only con is that the touch buttons dont really work for me, but the volume control always works since it only needs one tap and seem to have trouble recognizing more than one tap.

A couple months after I got them, the right earbud got annoyingly quieter than left one and it is the most obnoxious thing in the world. I hear no difference between the different sound modes, and they often refuse to change to them. They also keep disconnecting and cutting out of the bluetooth connection. They keep falling out of my ears and almost landed in the toilet at one point, and I am scared to get another pair of wireless earbuds because this was a terrible introduction to them.

i was just about to buy them off of nilered's sponsor link and then i thought; "lets actually look at review first" first off review aside, this was a very entertaining video to watch. Commentary was hilarious. then not only did you give actual data to support your review you gave TWO subs you recommended that werent even sponsored. BRAVO you earned a like, comment, and sub. hope your channel grows.

[@clarebearr5357]

[@asadfarraj]

Throughout all the sponsors, ads, and this video, I kept thinking maybe they are really fine for the price but they aren't selling well. I just looked these up. Fucking $150??? Who TF came up with that price?? If they were even $50 I would've understood, but FUCKING 150? In conclusion, Raycons is the Raid: Shadow Legends of earbuds. Also, I got the Samsung Galaxy Buds + for literally half the price. And any unsponsored KZbinr will tell you which one's better.

Those Taotronics have bad quality control on the batteries. Myself and many others have found that the batteries stopped working in a month. It hasn't happened to every pair and so yours might be fine but it's a common enough occurance to mention. Everything else that Dank has said about them is true though. They sound great and they ARE a low price. Its a pity.
