Raycon Everyday Earbuds RBE725-21E-BLU

Battery life is the star here, 32 hours total puts these in the top 5% of all earbuds we track. ANC is also strong at the 90th percentile. But sound quality lands at the 29th percentile with a music score of just 26.8 out of 100, which is rough for something you put in your ears to listen to music.

Let's start with what these do well. The battery is a genuine standout, 8 hours on a single charge plus three more full charges from the 400 mAh case. That's 32 hours total, and our data puts that in the top 5% of all earbuds we track. The ANC is also impressive, landing at the 90th percentile. For earbuds in this price range, that's a real achievement. Bluetooth 5.2 keeps the connection stable up to 33 feet, though connectivity overall sits at a middling 48th percentile.

But here's the problem. The sound quality is where these fall apart. A 29th percentile sound score means most earbuds in our database sound better. The bass is marketed as powerful and deep, but the overall audio profile just doesn't deliver. The mic is serviceable at the 68th percentile, fine for calls but nothing special. Build quality is solid at the 80th percentile, so at least they won't fall apart on you.

Stacked against the Sony WF-C700N, the Raycons win on battery life but lose badly on sound. The Sony's audio quality is in a different league, and comfort is better too. The EarFun Air Pro 4+ offers similar ANC performance with better sound at a comparable price. The Nothing Ear (3) beats these on design and audio quality, though you'll pay more. And the Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation are simply in another tier entirely on sound, comfort, and connectivity. The Raycons' only real win against any of these is battery endurance, and that's a narrow victory when the music sounds flat.

Pricing is all over the place depending on where you shop. In the US, you'll find these between $72 and $80 across four listings, so an $8 spread. In Europe, the gap is wider at €70 to €86, a €16 difference. If you're in the US, the lower end of that range makes these a more interesting proposition, especially with the ANC and battery combo. But at the higher end, you're getting into territory where competitors offer better sound. The CAD 110 and GBP 65 prices sit in the middle of the pack. For what you get, the value really depends on how much you care about battery and ANC versus actual audio quality.

The Raycon Everyday Earbuds land in a weird spot. Our database puts battery life at the 95th percentile and ANC at the 90th, which sounds great until you see the sound quality sitting at the 29th percentile. You're getting marathon battery and solid noise cancelling wrapped around audio that just doesn't keep up. The 4.3 star rating from nearly 30,000 reviews tells a story of a product people want to love, but the music score of 26.8 out of 100 is the elephant in the room.

For the price, these are a mixed bag. The 32 hours of total playtime and Qi wireless charging case are genuinely impressive at this tier. But comfort also lands at the 29th percentile, which means the fit isn't winning any awards either. If you're buying these for podcasts and calls, you might be happy. If you're buying them for music, keep reading.

If you care about how your music sounds, skip these. The 29th percentile sound ranking and 26.8 music score mean you'll be disappointed every time you hit play. Comfort is also at the 29th percentile, so if you have smaller ears or struggle with earbud fit, these won't do you any favors. And if you need reliable connectivity, the 48th percentile ranking suggests there are more stable options out there. These are for battery and ANC fans only.

The Raycon Everyday Earbuds are a case of misplaced priorities. Battery life and ANC are genuinely excellent, but the core job of earbuds is playing audio, and that's where these stumble. A 26.8 out of 100 music score is hard to overlook. If you're a podcast person or you need earbuds that last all day with decent noise cancelling, these might work. But if music matters to you at all, there are better options at this price. The 4.3 star rating suggests many buyers are happy, but our data says the sound quality is a real weak spot.
