To turn on noise cancelling on Raycon earbuds, press and hold the right earbud for 1.5 seconds. This gesture toggles between Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Awareness Mode on the most common models, specifically the Everyday Earbuds Pro.
How to turn on noise cancelling on Raycon earbuds
The quickest way to turn noise cancelling on is with a long press on the right earbud. On the Everyday Earbuds Pro, holding the right earbud for 1.5 seconds switches between Noise Cancellation and Awareness Mode. You will hear a tone or voice prompt confirming the change. This gesture works for the primary ANC toggle on most Raycon models that support the feature. If you are unsure which earbud to press, the right earbud is the standard control for activating ANC on Raycon Everyday Earbuds Pro, though the gesture differs if you need to turn on noise cancelling on JBL earbuds.
Which Raycon earbuds have active noise cancelling?
Not all Raycon earbuds include active noise cancellation. Models confirmed to have ANC include newer versions of the Everyday Earbuds (such as the Everyday Earbuds Pro and Everyday Classic), newer editions of the Fitness Earbuds, and the Work Earbuds. If you own an older model or a different series, check your user manual or the product page to confirm whether ANC is supported. Only earbuds with active noise cancelling hardware will respond to the long-press gesture.
Switching between noise cancelling and awareness mode
The same long press that activates ANC also switches to Awareness Mode. Awareness Mode (sometimes called Transparency Mode) amplifies ambient sounds, allowing you to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds. This is useful for conversations, announcements, or staying alert in traffic. To cycle back to noise cancelling, simply long-press the right earbud again. Each press toggles between the two modes; there is no separate button for turning ANC off entirely, it is always either in ANC or Awareness Mode when the feature is active.
Why a proper fit is essential for noise cancelling
Active noise cancellation works best when the earbuds create a secure seal in your ear canal. A loose fit lets outside noise leak in, reducing the effectiveness of ANC. For the best experience, choose ear tips that fit snugly without discomfort. Raycon earbuds typically include multiple sizes of silicone tips. Try each size to find the one that forms a complete seal. A proper fit also improves bass response and overall sound quality, making the noise cancelling feature more noticeable.
Troubleshooting: noise cancelling not working?
If noise cancelling does not seem to activate, start by checking the fit and charge. Ensure the earbuds are fully charged, as low battery can disable ANC. Confirm that the earbuds are seated securely in your ears, a poor seal can make it seem like noise cancelling is off even when it is on. If the gesture does not respond, verify that you are pressing the right earbud for the full 1.5 seconds. For persistent issues, consult the user manual for your specific model or contact Raycon support. Note that active noise cancellation can cause a slight noise cancelling battery drain, so expect a small reduction in playback time when ANC is enabled compared to using the earbuds without it.
