Our take on the Essential Open Earbuds

The Raycon Essential Open Earbuds (RBO715) are open-ear wireless earbuds that rest outside the ear canal so you stay aware of your surroundings. They pair over Bluetooth 6.0, connect to two devices at once, and run about 8 hours per charge with roughly 36 hours total from the case, which recharges wirelessly. The case charges in about an hour, and the buds are IPX4 water resistant with noise-filtering microphones for calls. At $79.98 at Raycon as of November 5, 2026, the best new price sits at the low end of where these have been selling.
