Raycon’s pitch is price — but the sub-$100 earbud space is brutally competitive, and the brands that don’t spend on podcast ads often spend it on sound instead. Here’s the honest lay of the land.
Raycon Everyday Earbuds — $79.98
Comfortable, tiny, sweatproof (IPX4), with a wireless-charging case. The catch, per reviewers, is sound: a heavy bass tilt, no EQ app, and battery that lands under the headline claim. RTINGS summed them up as “okay mixed-usage in-ear headphones.” Fine, not remarkable.

At this price, Anker’s Soundcore buds are the usual recommendation — they pair a real companion app and custom EQ (the thing Raycon lacks) with competitive sound. SoundGuys’ budget darling, the CMF Buds 2, undercuts Raycon dramatically while lasting longer per charge. And Nothing’s Ear (a) brings genuinely good sound and standout design for around the same money.

Fit and comfort are genuinely good, the case charges wirelessly, and the brand is familiar and easy to buy. If those matter more to you than squeezing out the best sound, Raycon earns its spot.
The verdict
The Raycon Everyday Earbuds are a perfectly okay budget bud — but they’re not the budget champ. If sound and app control matter, look hard at Soundcore or the CMF Buds 2 first; if comfort and simplicity win out, Raycon is a fair buy.
