Our Verdict

Samsung Galaxy Buds

Raycon E25 True Wireless

The Samsung Galaxy Buds are significantly better than the Raycon E25 True Wireless. They have a better build quality and stable fit, due to the stability fins provided in the box. Contrary to the Raycon, they have a fairly light bass, but they're much more accurate and can be customized through Samsung's mobile companion app, even though the choices are limited to presets. While the Samsung have a longer continuous battery life, the charging case can only hold one extra charge.
