Raycon Impact Earbuds Military-Grade Impact Resistant, IP67 Bluetooth Earbuds with Stereo Sound, 90 Hours of Battery Life, Active Noise Cancellation (Black)

First impression?
I have only had the earbuds for three days now and have only worn them twice.I was very hesitant to buy these, to be honest, but when the price came down, I took the bait.I am trying to replace my Jabra 65t Active buds, which after years of listening are having battery issues now and won’t hold a charge for longer than 75-80 minutes.The first day I wore the Raycon buds I was quite surprised at the fit and sound. The ability to adjust the fit to the ears using the winglets almost ensures the buds won’t move while jogging. I did go out quite early in the day when everything was quiet outside.I hadn’t quite figured out all the controls and functionality of the buds, so the next day, after playing around with the controls I took them out for jog a little later in the day, when traffic is a little noisier.Maybe I haven’t quite figured out the perfect fit yet, but I am quite disappointed with ANC. My Jabras did not have ANC, but had better “noise canceling” by acting as a plug with the ability to turn on pass-through sound.I can seriously not detect any sound difference in turning on ANC versus awareness mode. Other than a voice telling me that each mode is turned on or off, the sound doesn’t seem to change and the surrounding noise from cars, planes, birds, my footsteps is virtually the same in both modes. When cars go by, their noise level to some degree even drowns out the music. That did not happen with my Jabras.Like I said earlier, maybe I haven’t quite found the right fit yet and the lack thereof is allowing too much noise to pass by the buds. I will continue to play around with the fit a little more to see whether that’ll improve, but at this point for the price point I am a little disappointed, primarily because it feels like I bought into a gimmick for something I didn’t necessarily need (military grade toughness, water resistance).The battery life so far has been phenomenal, I have to say. I briefly charged them up when I got them, but haven’t had the need to charge them since then.If me playing around with the fit doesn’t improve the noise/ANC situation, I will likely return these, though. 3 stars at this time.Update 9/6/25:I tried playing around with the fit a little more, but couldn’t quite get the Raycon buds to either not move while jogging or have better noise cancelation. Maybe it’s my ears…I am holding on to these now because although I wished they would produce better noise cancelation, it is ok enough for me to use, but it is a little annoying when the buds move and the sound becomes all tinny. I basically have to push the buds back into my ear into a better fitting position, but even just walking causes them to move around enough to lose the bass sound without me jostling them back into position.Update 9/11/25:Ok, stars upgraded.Haven’t worn them in a week and played around with the winglet/eartips combos some more yesterday and today, and I think I found a winning combo for myself.Now they more or less do not move and the sound is actually quite amazing, and stays amazing. I like my music on the bass heavy side without losing the higher frequency sounds (synths, violins, hi-hats, cymbals, etc), and now my disappointment is turning to a bright grin.With the correct fit awareness mode and ANC are also working perfectly. Glad I kept the earbuds and played around with the fit a bit more. Everybody’s ears are different, so I am glad these buds had a variety of winglets and eartips to play around with instead of just the standard S/M/L eartips.Battery life is still excellent, pretty much last most of the day, especially if at some point you just place them back in the case for a short while.

Maybe the Best Earbuds I Have Owned
I have had a lot of mixed luck with top rated earbuds. So far only these have been worth what I paid for them in the end. While the sound quality isn’t as robust as Bose or Sony, these actually work consistently and hold a charge for at least the advertised length of time they are supposed to. Don’t get me wrong, they have great sound, a boosted bass mode, equalizer presets and decent noise canceling too. They have an awareness mode that intelligently allows you to monitor your surroundings without drowning out your media as well.On top of that they are so durable, meeting expectation for every noted feature including impact resistance and water resistant (I’ve accidentally tested the limits of both). These are my daily carry and workhorse earbuds. I do business with them and frankly do not leave the house without them. Quite rugged and forgiving if you are active and might need a pair that is sturdy, comfortable and can stand to be roughed up a bit. I also love that they can pair to multiple devices at the same time and jump to whichever os actively being used.

Very good sound, functional container on a string with a buckle, can be hung on your pants. You definitely won’t lose it.

They aren’t terrible however i did think they would be less of a hassle to deal with.The biggest problem is charging them and syncing.Charging im never sure if both buds are making a connection with the charging contacts in the case.I say this because every now and then my right ear bud dies like 4ish hours in, after boasting a 9 hour battery life on a single charge thats very disappointing.Secondly because sometimes its not making contact (or whatever other reason) they dont turn off or unsync from my phone and it will still be playing through bluetooth. And then i gotta dig the buds out and try and clean the case out and make sure the contacts are clean and its just a hassle.Thirdly theres No direct way of knowing how charged or uncharged the battery of your buds are. For a $200 set of ear buds i was expecting a bit more polish to their system.The charging case uses a colour indicator for the battery but the buds are just a mystery.So are they bad no but would i recommend at this price point no.
