[@sepg5084]

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.

[@reaperreaper5098]

@@sepg5084 Some Dude is correct, this is just a followup vid. 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.

[@AcidSh33tz]

@@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.

The real kicker for me is how they advertise how you’re paying less for the same quality when you’re… you’re not

[@DoubleMonoLR]

They should really just advertise as '(attempting to have) as much hype as Beats, but cheaper', which is almost certainly the market they're going for.

[@archkull]

Youre paying for them to advertise to you more basically. Any company that sponsors youtubers and other social media people like raycons are more interested in spending most of their budget on advertising than the product itself. Dunno what pisses me off more, that they do this, or that suckers fall for it, or better yet, KZbinrs take their money to push their crap

[@lc9245]

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.

[@lc9245]

@@archkull Made in China and Chinese brands are not the same. Airpods are also made in China. I know Raycon probably just visit Chinese manufacturer, choose a model then rebrand it as their own, yet the Chinese brands still offer superior products to Raycon at lower price. It suggests that Raycon went to China and still choose an inferior product to rebrand.

[@archkull]

@@lc9245 I dont think I made my point correctly, The reason Raycon went to China was to get the cheapest generic thing to rebrand. Any time a company you've never once heard of, or saw any of their products on shelves before just pops up with a seemingly never ending budget for advertisements telling you how they are very good quality for great prices, you have to wonder where they are cutting corners to be able to spend so much on advertising. They choose inferior on purpose, because they only want cheap to make the most profit from the people they trick through their ad campaigns. And maybe this is just my personal opinion, but a company that buys the mass produced product of a factory, where any other company can also buy directly from and do the same things, go and put their shitty logo on it, and then sell it to consumers as if they're doing anything involving effort, isnt a real business. Its a scam at worst and a stupid importer at best. If I'm buying chinese products no matter what I do, I'd rather actually buy it directly from the chinese manufacturers or companies directly, saves me money.

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.

When wireless charging, the raycons start to smell like burnt plastic lol.

[@mjc0961]

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]

@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.

More like a promotion. A viewer of this video might tell their friends "Raycons fucking suck!", and their friend tells to another "Raycons suck!", and then that person tells their friend "Raycons suck", and then "Raycons suck?", into "Raycons? Idk much", and eventually it mutated into "Raycons are alright". This multiplies exponentially and results in Raycons developing another one for DP to review and the cycle continues. Also, on an unrelated note. Raycons are targeted at the general populace. To the layman, they might think it's good, 'it's pricey so it must be good'. For every audiophile like DankPods, there's about 100 layman saying "this video is sponsored by Raycons"

Watching this a second time and it's funnier now than when I watched it the first time! I love your input and opinions about audio equipment. I have actually purchased a couple of (the more affordable) headphones you have mentioned. I got a pair of KZeds and I just got a set of the SAMSON SR850s because I needed a decent studio reference headphones for editing my channel's KZbin videos (and videos for work). Since I would be wearing them for a long time every edit session, they needed to be comfy, sound great and not too expensive because I am not bathing in cash. SOOOOO, thank you again and keep it up- your reviews are spot on AND you make me laugh and that's not easy to do! (HI, Frank!)

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

sr850s are amazing for its price. i had them but i broke them bcuz my dog got stuck in the wire and just smashed them in the floor. butthe sound is amazing. almost as good as akg for the same price

[@tezzanoia]

I think another thing that is very interesting to hear the 3D effect of headphones are headphone audio plays (not sure if that's the right term? It's audio books, but not just the book being read but different people speaking the characters and stuff). The three investigators are a huge thing here in Germany and there's audio plays of all the books and since last year they've produced a few headphone versions where you can hear people walk around and picture them in different places in the room and stuff like that. It plays a lot with that 3D sound and is so much fun to listen to (well and absolutely scared the hell out of me a few times, thinking there was someone or something next to me lmao)
