The Open Earbuds

Raycon just gave me their Open Ear Earbuds to try. They turned out to be great! I'll be using them for local running, where I have to hear if a car is coming. For trails or races, I use Skull Candy plug in over the ear headphones.

I had similar issues with Raycon's mic quality - it's pretty hit or miss tbh. The open earbuds are better for letting ambient sound in but I'd honestly look at the Shokz OpenRun instead, their mics are way more consistent for calls

I like the open style earbuds from Raycon. The sound quality isn’t the best, but that’s not my main concern while riding. The battery life is good, they’re comfortable (hang around my ears not stuck inside them), and I can still hear traffic.

raycon isn't really made for sleeping though, they're way too bulky. i use sleep earbuds on flights all time for work and regular earbuds just don't stay comfortable when you're trying to rest your head against window or anything. from the ones you listed, i'd probably go with ozlo since they're specifically designed for side sleeping. the noise masking works pretty well for airplane engines in my experience, though it's different than active cancellation. somnipods are decent too but battery life wasn't great when i tried them last year.

I had this same problem and Raycon is the only earbud that fits and stays put no matter what. I would try them out.

It's ok quality, but it really is a pair of $20 AliExpress buds with an R logo printed on them for the fuckass rapper that flipped these and got a bunch of drones to pay $70 for them via an insane amount of YouTube sponsorships. For some reason people get offended when you tell them they're getting upselled because "i don't care, it sounds good" just consumer slop do not fall for it You want close to peak audio with the Thor or in general, go on Amazon and look up wired IEMS. There was a $25 pair I found that legit sound on par with my $200 SK headset in terms of clarity Example https://a.co/d/0bAfmqLA

Raycons are complete ass and nobody would ever buy them without their massive YouTube marketing campaign.

They're very bad quality for their price. Bad audio quality, bad build quality, bad batteries, bad reliability, very buggy connection etc. You can get similar quality in chinese knock-off earbuds for under 5€ on Temu and better quality in regular 30€ earbuds from your local tech store. Great to hear that yours haven't had any major issues so far - that's not the norm with Raycon.
