Love these headphones!

Great headphones! I've had them for almost 5 months now and I use them at work to make calls to my clients, in team meetings and to block out the noise from coworkers chattering while listening to my music. I love that they can't hear what I'm listening to. The battery life is wonderful and they don't take long at all to charge. To me the headphones are really comfortable, lightweight and covers the ears. I waited a while to give a review because I wanted to make sure there were no issues. These are a inexpensive must by and in my opinion they are just as good as the beats and apple headphones that I paid over $100 for my daughter's as gifts. I can hear the music they are listening to with the beats and apple headphones, I have to tell them to turn their music down, with the Raycon's I don't have that issue.

Comfortable good sound

These headphones are verry comfortable i don't feal them on my head at all. The noise cancelling even without it on is verry good. I use them in the gym and when I fly alao when I am at home they are perfect.

Quality Headphones on a Budget

The Raycon Essential Bluetooth Headphones are a good introduction into quality headphones. The sound quality of these headphones is exceptional, and the connection to my phone is stable with no issues. The noise cancellation is as good as a higher end headset, but it did work to muffle background noise. Also, I didn't like the fit at first but after wearing them for awhile to test them I guess they broke in and are comfortable. You can see where Raycon did cut corners to bring the price down mainly in the build and buttons, but they did not sacrifice in sound quality which is the important part and I guess what makes them the Essential edition. Overall, very good value for your money.

Great Sound and Super Comfortable

I picked up these headphones to use for work calls and daily listening, and they’ve been a strong performer across the board. The sound is full and balanced, with clear highs and solid bass that doesn’t overwhelm. The Active Noise Cancellation works better than I expected, and it is par with its value. it cuts down background noise without changing the sound quality, which makes a big difference during focus time.

Comfort is excellent. The ear cups are soft, the headband adjusts easily, and the whole design is lightweight enough to wear for hours without pressure points. The 50‑hour battery life is a real highlight. I’ve gone several days of mixed use without needing to recharge, and a quick top‑off gets it back to full power fast.

Call quality is also impressive. The five‑microphone setup keeps my voice clear on meetings, even when there’s noise around me. Bluetooth pairing is smooth, and switching between my phone and laptop has been reliable.

I’m giving these five stars because they deliver strong sound, great comfort, and long battery life with no quirks or surprises. For everyday listening, work calls, and travel, they’re a dependable set of over‑ear headphones.

Awesome Sound Experience

I've always had wired headphones and wanted to get a pair of wireless headphones. I ordered the Raycon Essentials Headphones. Their made of a high quality metal frame with a soft and plush cover over the headband. The ear pads are super soft and cushiony, and they rotate flat for easy storage and travel. The control buttons are located on the right ear cup and include press/hold to power on/off. There is an anc button, which activates noise cancellation and awareness mode on/off. It also includes a volume up/down button in increments of 6 decibels. An automated voice tells you when its on/connected/off and anc/awareness mode on/off. It was easy to set up and pair the wireless connection via bluetooth to my laptop and cell phone. The sound is amazing and is crisp, clear and well balanced with the advanced spacial audio feature. They have fast usb-c charging with the included cord and 50 hours of run time. They also include an audio cable so you can still enjoy them while their charging or if you have an electronic device that doesn't have wireless capability. It's a great price for these high quality wireless headphones.

Good sound, comfortable to wear

These Raycon headphones are very comfortable to wear, and the Bluetooth was very easy to connect to my device. I appreciate that it has physical buttons to control the volume and other settings. The battery seems to last quite a while, I started using it straight out of the box and haven't had to charge it yet after several hours of use. The item I received did appear to have some signs of use or a paint defect on one side of the head set, so that is the reason for only 4 stars.

Great features, good design

These headphones offer a ton of value for the price. The ANC works well, the battery life is excellent, and call quality is super clear thanks to the 5-mic setup. They’re very comfortable for long listening sessions, and the IPX4 rating is great for workouts or light rain.

I also really like the design, it has that clean, modern AirPods-style look without feeling cheap.

The only downside is the sound quality, which is decent but not as strong as the rest of the features. Still, overall a solid headphones

Great quality, long battery life and consistent connectivity

8 month update - the mic no longer functions. I've tried various troubleshooting methods but none are working. I would expect a product in this price range to last much longer. I loved it very much until it stopped working, however.

2 month update - I don't mind the size at all anymore. I wear it over my hair and it is comfortable and the sound isn't muffled. I have not had issues with sound quality, mic quality or connection at all! Not even once. I use it every day for hours for meetings and listening to music and I think I've charged it maybe 3 times in the last 2 months. This is waaaay better than I expected!

Size - I think it’s a bit big for me. It covers my whole ear and then some so that I feel it pressing against the hinge of my jaw.

Noise cancellation - not much but it does deaden some of the background noise due to its size and shape covering your ear.

Clarity - quite impressive. I have it connected to my computer via Bluetooth and have been watching videos, listening to high fidelity music and joining Zoom and Teams meetings. Zero issues hearing.

Mic - I’ve been in several meetings via Zoom and Teams and no complaints from anyone.

Controls - very intuitive. I didn’t have to open the instructions.

Overall fit - I think it’s a bit too big and heavy for me or I’m just not used to headphones. I’m trying to transition away from earbuds but the pressure against my head gets to be too much throughout the day. I wear them over my ears to reduce the pressure a bit but it still adds up.

I like it better than my gaming headset

These headphones are great quality for the price, clear sound, strong noise cancellation, and easy volume control that doesn’t distort the audio. I’ve been using them for work, calls, and walks, and the battery life and comfort really stand out. The build feels durable, and the water resistance handled light rain with no issues. Overall, they’re reliable, comfortable, and perform way better than I expected.

A very comfortable, noise canceling set of headphones with a good sound stage

These are really nice over the ear headphones. They do a bit of passive noise canceling, and then they've got two different levels of active noise canceling. One has a focus mode to still hear conversations. There's also a button press to open up lines of communication temporarily. The sound quality is good. And they're comfortable to wear. They were easy to connect to and they do offer the option to connect to two different devices, which is nice. They have on board volume control, anc button, and a call answer/pause button that doubles as the power button. They provide great functionality when you want more comfort, noise canceling, and good sound quality. I listen to all types of music, and they provide a nice sound stage for a variety of genres. They're a good value for the money. They seem durable and sturdy but I haven't had them all that long.

Nice headphones - especially for the price

To me, these sound as good as headphones that are triple the price. Easy to charge. Easy to pair. Works great with my iPhone and Bluetooth TV

Easy on the eyes and ears

These light weight headphones sound great and look great too. I was able to test the bluetooth function and it connected to multiple devices without issue. The sound quality is quite good and these produce both bass and highs decently. These are quite light and the cushions are very soft. I was able to wear these for a long time and did not experience fatigue. The fit and size are great and the sound is clear. I use different headphones daily and I like this set and can recommend.

Approved for giant heads!

I received these headphones and I've been putting it through it's paces.

First off, I have a giant head. It's so hard to find comfortable headphones I can wear for hours without some sort of fatigue after an hour or two. To give perspective, I wear a size 8 fitted hat, which to give another example, if you were to wear a standard snap back hat, I'm on the last snap and it's straining to hold on for dear life.

When I put these headphones on, immediately the ear cushions are soft and plushy. I can imagine maybe it getting too warm in the summer, but it was 30 degrees outside the other day so no issues there!

I listened to a variety of music like hip hop, classic rock, metal, R&B, and while I'm not an audiophile conseiur compared to other people out there, I can say that these headphones are a very balanced range style of cans. It wasn't too bass heavy like other headphones out there, but it was extremely clear which I really enjoyed as you may miss out on some nuances that cheaper headsets would miss out on.

What immediately drew my attention when I opened the box is the solid construction of the headphones and the color! I chose the blue headphones and I have zero regret! They pop out, they look sleek, and I'm infatuated with how the overall looks are on these headphones. I love that there's a metal bar attached to typically the weakest point in the headphones, so I know the quality is there and it will last.

Final piece is the price. You are getting high quality for sub $100 with these. I've owned many pairs of headphones in this category and typically it's worth dropping an extra $100/$150 more to get something better. This is one of the rare times where this goes against that rule, and I learned that after I had purchased some Raycon Earbuds (over the ear) earlier as a "temporary fix" which became permanent as I was going to buy a more expensive pair later.

I don't know how Raycon can deliver this quality in this price point, but keep doing it. Overall are these going to be better than $500 headphones? No, but these are best for normal people which is probably about 99% of the folks out there. Get em.

EDIT: The ONLY miss, which is a minor gripe but I will mention it, it does NOT come with a carrying case! That was a bummer because these are going to be my work headphones, and while I have spare cases, others may not and need to purchase one.

Comfortable and sounds great!

Got these never having had a pair of Raycons before (I use Soundcore Q30 over ear and samsung galaxy earbuds). I am impressed! They paired with my s25 ultra super easily and fit very comfortably on my larger than average noggin! Sound is great, good bass, nice mids and highs. They are very comfortable and aren't bulky at all. I also like that they aren't slathered with a bunch of conspicuous branding, as I feel that's a true sign of quality. The price point is also great for the quality, which I feel is excellent. Also the ANC function works well without making me feel like I'm in a sensory deprivation chamber. All in all, I'm a big fan of these headphones. Thanks Ray J!
