I have raycon fitness earbuds that have never fallen out while riding or running, but I'm not doing flips or anything.
I used these since they are so cheap for a long time. I was bothered by the silicone wing piece constantly sliding off. I upgraded to raycon fitness earbuds. My main issue is comfort and staying in the ear, and I refuse to spend 200 for earbuds.
I found that the most comfortable bids for me include the little "wing" you see in the fitness versions of earbuds. I tried a few cheap 20-40 versions but they tended to break, either the device or the wing piece would and deformed within month or two. I refuse to pay 200 for earbuds. Raycon fitness buds have lasted the longest so far, usually a little over 100 dollars. Im fairly happy with them. You could sleep with them in, if you are a back sleeper, or if you aren't laying on it directly (i.e. solo earbud.) I'm not sure I love the touch functionality, I prefer an actual button I can feel depress, but it's fine for my needs. I will never buy the high-end earbuds, my bank account couldn't handle it.
3 sets is not even a starter collection yet lol Ive got about 12 pairs of tws and another 10 sets of iems. I daily an iPhone, Ive got 2 androids, a razr 60 ultra, Xperia 10vii and I use 2 android based daps. I write reviews of tws for private companies and can keep sets at very steep discounts. Different buds for different uses. Gemini 2, Rex5, ZX1, and Freebuds Pro 4 are my basshead sets for edm and trance. Ive got several sets of open and clip style buds for long term comfort wear. Current favorites are the Free Clip and Cleer Arc 3. Then randoms for specific tasks. My AirPod Pro 2 is great for dictation and phone calls. I use moondrop space travel, liberty 4 pro, raycon fitness, and aviot q3 for casual music with lots of podcasts, news, and NBA games. My nicer iem sets include ThieAudio Hype 4, Dunu Davinci, FF Deuces, and Madoo 512s mainly all using an ibasso dx180.
I use raycon fitness earbuds
I’m still using a 3 year old pair of Raycons that have been through an American laundry washer and dryer….they are the “sport” or work out ones idk. The microphone is now useless so can’t use em for calls anymore but the sound is still great. I mostly use em for the TV now
I hate ads. I will put something back on the shelf if I recall a marketing campaign that annoyed me, not make the purchase..my wife and I needed earphones at the same time and RAYCON had a BOGO sale on their fitness earphones. I think it was Valentine’s Day. I lost them for a couple days and ended up finally finding mine in the laundry dryer…..meaning they went through the washing machine (a commercial grade speedqueen) I put them in a drawer for a couple weeks, charged them for a couple days and they worked.. They still work great (3 years now) (The dog ate the wife’s pair)
Been using fitness raycons I bought 5 years ago. If I want good audio I'll play docked
Actually compare it to other current fitness earbuds... I find this reviewer's review of Raycon true based on my experience as well... [I Tried MORE YouTube Scams: Raycon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt7DuetOOg&t=260s)
Redmi Buds. I bought them for my mom. I have Raycons myself, the Fitness Earbuds. They have no issues, other than me resetting them through a button on the case every few months because the sound would sometimes start "bouncing" from one to another, like, you're randomly getting 50% volume on one side and then another. I went swimming in a river with them and they're still ok. Idk why the influencers are promoting their promo codes because the other discount codes available online (any coupon website) get you a much bigger discount. Something like 15% from the influencer vs 30% from the website, and they also do seasonal sales, I got mine during Christmas time. Redmi is certainly cheaper and I don't see much difference in the actual build and sound quality. I'd just buy Redmi for myself if I had to choose again. As for wired, any Panasonic will do, mine have survived from 2018 and until 2024. Iirc, a pet chewed on them and one of the earbuds died. They were dirt cheap, under $10 at the time. I also have over-the-ear Soundcore Life Q30 that I mostly use at home, the ear pads wear out every year like a clock and the headband pad just wore out 3 years after the purchase, with everyday use. Stock ones were soft as a cloud, guess, that made them less durable. They can work both through Bluetooth and wired as they have the 3.5 mm slot and a cord bundled in. No changes to the sound quality and battery life so far, but be careful when replacing the ear pads because it can damage the ANC functionality if you don't fit them properly.
I too bought fitness buds after seeing ads on Facebook. It was ok, but the noise cancelling was lousy, and the battery life decreased. Now one bud died. The company will not replace it for over a year. I did not complain until the bud died. Save your money and try something else.
Got these via YouTuber Discount, made the leap. Arrived quickly, excited to try, sound "ok" and good fit. However, as a neurodivergent person, i was very disappointed to find out that the advertised Noise Cancellation does not actually remove outside sound at all. The other audio modes sounds muddy, but the default mode sounds least bad, the Bass mode is just awful. I had severe issues over Bluetooth with a Samsung Galaxy S7 & S20, buds in the ear and phone in my left pants pocket, would very very frequently drop and crackle. This issue disappeared when using a newer phone like my S24, but something to keep in mind for older or cheaper phone models. My buds last for +-2 hours of continuous playback, after which they need to be charged using the case. I would not recommend these to anyone. Another note, even as a verified purchaser, on the RayCon website they cherry-pick the reviews. I dropped a review, they chose not to post it.. easy way of keeping up a mostly positive review count
