Raycon Fitness Bluetooth Headphones – Over The Ear Running Headphones, Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones + Awareness Mode, Bluetooth Headset with Mic, 45 Hours of Battery Life (Black)
Reviewer: Mr. E Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Comfortable Headphones With Great Sound and Impressive Battery Life Review: My wife took these running during a light rain, used them on the treadmill, did strength training, and walked to work in them. She absolutely loves them. They are a huge upgrade from her older wrap around the back headphones from around 2010. She said they are extremely comfortable, the bass is great, and the deep surrounding sound makes music more immersive. She cannot hear anything outside while wearing them, and she likes that a lot for her workouts.The design is clean and modern, and she really likes the breathable ear cushions. The fact that it comes with three different cushion sets is a nice touch, since she can swap them out for cleaning or switch to a new set when needed. They feel light on her head and do not squeeze too hard, so she can wear them for long sessions.Wireless connectivity has been rock solid. The multipoint feature works well, and she was able to switch between her phone and laptop without reconnecting. The range is also very good. She can walk across our living room or kitchen without losing signal, which is helpful when she is cleaning or moving around during workouts.The battery life has been a standout feature. She has been using them every day for almost a week and still has not needed to recharge. Charging is easy and fast, and the headphones are always ready when she is.Overall, she is very happy with the comfort, the sound, the reliable wireless range, and the long battery life. These fit her active routine extremely well and feel like a big upgrade in every way.

I was blown away by these headphones. I liked them so much that I purchased a second pair for myself. These definitely have better sound quality than the Crushers he used to have (although slightly less bass). The sound quality is not quite as good as the Sennheiser Momentum 4s that I have, but other considerations prompted me to get a set for myself.Things I like/love:1. Extra ear pads – the cloth ear pads are so much nicer for the gym. No issues with sweat and they are washable.2. Sound quality – These actually sound pretty great and the bass is good3. Noise cancelling – They do a great job with noise at the gym (haven’t tried on a plane yet)4. Battery life – outstanding battery life5. Head clamp – These fit tighter on my head and don’t wobble when working out like my Sennheisers. They are also very comfortable and not overly tight6. Control buttons – the buttons are simple and easy to controlMy only real complaint is the lack of a case. I travel a lot by plane and always have headphones in my backpack. A nice small hard case would be great for travel.

The sound quality is decent for the style of headphones. The noise cancellation isn’t the best but it decent. They’re very comfortable to wear for extend periods. The battery life is ridiculous. I use them about 2 hours everyday at the gym and only have to charge every few weeks. Definitely worth the money for the durability and comfort while wearing. The extra ear pads included are a nice perk too Reviewer: Hondaman Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars Title: Great for most but not for where I work Review: They worked great I loved them. The sound is amazing. The only draw back is that that I’m a machinist and in that environment some plastics don’t last. They fell apart so I would recommend them if you’re in a environment with a lot of oil and coolant in the air.

Also fit really well and don’t have any weird pressure. Reviewer: Joseph B. Rating: 1.0 out of 5 stars Title: Raycon Fitness Headphones – An unworthy successor to the JBL UA Sport Train line Review: I bought these after my pair of JBL Under Armor Sport Train on-ear headphones broke after a few years of near everyday use for powerlifting/bodybuilding style workouts. I originally planned on getting another pair of JBLs but couldn’t, since they and their “Project Rock” variants were discontinued. I thought these would be a fitting substitute, as they appear to have been designed and marketed towards filling the niche that the JBLs once held.Simply put: They weren’t. Not even close.Where the JBLs were made of a rubbery plastic material that could be dropped, chucked in gym bags, and “reasonably” beaten throughout the course of a workout, the Raycons are made of a quality of plastic that feels cheap and brittle. The sport ear cushions, which were made of a durable yet breathable fabric on the JBLs, feel puffy and scratchy on the Raycons. Despite being marketed as “breathable”, the ear cushions on the Raycons don’t allow much airflow either, so your ears start to feel hot and uncomfortable after about an hour of wearing them. For context, I tried these out in a relatively cold gym in Buffalo during the fall. I couldn’t imagine wearing them in the summer, outside or in.The headphones themselves feel very “clunky” on your head. While I’ll admit they do a solid job of staying put, you feel like you’re wearing something that you’d find plugged into a computer in the early 2000s. They also come equipped with quite possibly the most annoying feature ever fitted to headphones; if you click the pause/play button twice, it will redial your last call. Yes, you could take the time to learn where the buttons are, and yes, after a while I would assume you’d learn not to do it, but as a matter of personal preference, I’d rather not have to deal with it at all. I will say that the sound quality is fine if you’re exclusively using them as gym headphones. The ANC modes aren’t terrible either, but every time you change the level of ANC you want, it’s announced by a voice rather than a simple tone or beep, like with the JBLs.Anyways, there’s another point I’d like to note for those who are in a similar situation to where I was when deciding if I should buy these:I’ve figured out why (at the time this review was written) there was a noticeable lack of tech websites/Youtubers/etc. reviewing these things. It’s because they’re simply not worth the effort. They try to market themselves as headphones specifically built for the dedicated fitness enthusiast, but also ones that can be worn in a more casual environment simply by switching the ear pads. And this, I think, is their biggest flaw. They’re the epitome of the phrase “jack of all trades, master of none”. In trying to make these headphones so versatile, Raycon has failed to make them be more than “okay” at anything.And to me that’s sad, because I wanted so badly for these to be good. I wanted these to take the torch from the JBLs as headphones that you could chuck in your gym bag and forget about for your entire day until you took them out again the next day, when you would be happy that you bought them.And that’s another thing: value. You don’t get much with these things. The box includes the headphones, a few cables, a quick start guide, the various ear cushions, and that’s it. There’s no case, or even a carry bag. Plus, when you take them out for the first time, the battery is flat, so you need to spend two hours charging them before you’re able to try them.In conclusion, I had high, yet specific, hopes for these headphones, and was sorely disappointed by them. Maybe they’ll succeed in later generations, but this version promises a lot and delivers on very little. I’m sure some people out there would love these, despite all my perceived faults with them, and that’s perfectly fine. I ended up returning these and ordering some Beats Studio Pros that had gone on sale. But, if you still think these are worth a try, by all means, I encourage you to order a pair and see for yourself.But if you do, I’d advise that you hold on to the box.

Comfortable for me to wear as most headphones hurt my ears after a while. They’re snug and barely move. Sound quality is great. Overall, happy I purchased these ones. Reviewer: Kris Carter Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: I’ll be honest – I was blown away.For headphones in the sub-$200 range, I was not expecting this level of sound quality. The clarity is fantastic, the bass hits clean without being muddy, and we’re genuinely hearing details in some of our favorite songs that we’ve never picked up on before. It’s that “wait… was that instrument always there?” kind of experience.I bought two pairs for Christmas – one for my wife and one for my teenage daughter – and I ended up trying them so much I basically adopted them as my own. All three of us are impressed. They’re comfortable, feel solid, and punch way above their price point.Now, full transparency: about a week after my daughter started using hers, the left earcup developed a constant buzzing sound. That was frustrating. I went through the warranty replacement process, and while Raycon did honor it, the process itself was a bit of a pain. Not impossible – just more steps and waiting than I would’ve preferred.That said, the sound quality and value are strong enough that I’d still recommend them. When they’re working properly, they’re exceptional for the price.Would buy again – just hoping we don’t need the warranty next time.
