Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro Bluetooth Gaming Earbuds: THX Certified - Advanced Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation - 60ms Low-Latency - Touch Enabled - <20 Hr Battery Life - Classic Black

So I own 4 noise canceling earbuds. airpods pro, sony sp800n, sony wf-1000xm3, and these. I have used these more than all of them. The sound these produce even with aac or sbc codecs is just great. a lot of people will say the thx branding is bs, and it kind of is especially considering razer owns thx, and there opus headphones didn't impress me, But the sound is still very good for a pair of wireless earbuds. These are just "fun" to listen to. These are the only pair of earbuds that I actually take to bed with me and listen to for 30-45 minutes before I fall asleep. The actual earbuds are a lot bigger than the airpods pro, but it doesn't bother me to much. now on the the aspects of the earbuds themselves. SOUND 2 words describe these earbuds. Bass and clarity. The bass on these is very abundant, but not muddy in anyway. When a song from Imagine Dragons came on, I was very surprised and the amount of bass these things put out. I love a moderate amount of bass, but not a ton and these things do it for me. If you don't like bass at all, or just want a little amount of bass, don't get these. The clarity of them are very good too. I wouldn't put them on the top of what I have listened to in the past, but for earbuds they surpass the other anc earbuds I have. ANC I will come out and say the anc on these is the worst of the 4 I have. But, because I don't travel on planes or go to very loud places, it doesn't matter to me too much. If I were, I would take my sony wh-1000xm3 over ears anyway, or the airpods pro if its a short flight. Now, to get the anc to be decent, you need a good seal, just like and anc earbud. the comply medium tips these come with outperform the silicone for anc, as in make the anc work better. Though, I wouldn't go with comply. I have found that the AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC tips work just as well or better than the comply to isolate sound. i would highly recommending getting some if your considering using the razer hammerhead wireless pros. The ambient mode is also ok. It doesn't really enhance outside sounds so you can hear better, but it gets the job done. You'll be able to hear someone talking to you with it on, but with music on you still probably won't be able to hear a lot. BUILD I'll review the actual earbuds and the case as well. The earbuds are big. bigger than the airpods pro for sure. The stem is probably the feature than most people will not like, but from my experiance it doesnt get in the way. You will probably need to hold the earbud from the stem as well when you take it out to stop the music(get to that later) as holding it from the head of the earbud will not automatically turn your music off if your finger is on the microphone/sensor. the back of the earbud has a razer logo, and this is where the touch sensor is located. the tip of the earbud is angeled so it goes into your ear better. Now the case if where I think they did a better job. One thing I can fault sony for is the size of there charging cases, cause they are huge in comparison. the razer charging case is very similar to the airpods pro, which is actually a good point. Its small, can fit in the pocket well, and the finish of it is ok. it not as plasticky as the airpods pro, but the only texture if from the matte finish on it. I've heard people say that it slips out of there hands, but that has never happened to me at all. I actually quite like the matte finish on it. There's a green light on the front that will turn to orange when its low on battery(not sure the exact percentage, as it only happened once to me) and the bottom is where you'll charge it with a usb c cable(thank you razer, micro b sucks). Unfortunately it doesn't support wireless charging, but its not a problem for me when I don't have many things that support it anyway. My only real gripe is the the earbuds can take a second or 2 to get out of the case. Its not bad, but to get a grip on them is a little inconvenient. TOUCH & OTHER FEATURES The touch controls aren't great, but not the worst i've used. The really great thing is the customizability in the app for the touch controls. You can assign any function to either earbud to any touch action. You want play/pause just on your right earbud with 1 tap? You can do that. You want to assign anc switching(anc on, off, and ambient) to just the left earbud with 1 tap? you can do that. This is where most other earbuds fail(maybe not fail, but these just do it better). The app is also necessary for firmware updates, and it also has its own eq presets and manual eq. The actual touch sensors aren't great. I sometimes have trouble for the 1 tap play/pause to work. not all the time, but enough to make me notice its a potential problem. switching between anc on, off and ambient is done by holding the sensor for 2 second(unless you change that), and that works perfectly. I wish you could take the anc off option off though, as I only use anc on or ambient. I also wish there was a quick attention mode on these like the sony's where you hold the sensor to quickly hear ambient mode and make the music quieter so long as your hold it. The retail box it comes in say it has quick attention, but it only means ambient mode. Razer, let me tell you this. Its not called quick attention if you have to change to it. Sony has it for there wh and wf series where you place your hand on the sensor for a moment of ambience, but doesn't switch to ambient where you have to change back to anc. I love this feature on the sony's, and more anc earbuds should incorporate this. BATTERY The case is said to have a extra 20 hours of charging for the earbuds, have not tested this as I am a compulsive charging guy, but i have no reason to think that it doesn't. The earbuds with anc on will last you about 4.5 to 5.5 hours. not great, but definitely the worst. After about 30-40 minutes, my earbuds were down to 88-89%, which is in line with that battery life. Not enough for a long flight, but the anc doesn't really warrant taking them on a place anyway. OVERALL I really can recommend these earbuds. even for the $200 price tag, they're pretty good. Now with the sony's and airpods pro around this range, would i recommend these over those. The sony's yes, even with razer not having the quick attention feature. Now with the airpods pro, the one question that you need to ask yourself is do you need the best anc, or is decent fine for you. Also should ask yourself of you have trouble with earbud fitting in your ears. The airpods pro fall out of my ear alot, so much that I had to get a silicone cover and AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC tips just to keep them in my ears. These don't fall out at all. So if you care more about anc and the airpods don't fall out all the time, get the airpods pros. If you want great sound, ok anc, and great customizability, then I recommend these. I'm someone who owns over 20 pairs of earphones and headphones, I always put these in my ears at the end of the day. Again, I highly recommend getting some AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC tips with these instead of the comply's.

I’ve had ~$250+ Bose, ~$200 Sennheiser, random cheap crap, and these. I’m not massively versed on every option, but I know a few. I’d say the Bose were the best. The random crap is the worst…. but I’d actually place these between the Sennheiser and the Bose. The Bose were flawless and lasted me well beyond my Geek Squad protection plan before the batteries lost their ability to hold juice. The Sennheiser were trash, not even counting the fact that I wasn’t a huge fan of their sound profile… which was very tinny… the connection wasn’t great, and there was this thing with them where they’d connect to the Bluetooth in the case and rapidly drain all the batteries which was insanely annoying when I needed/wanted to use them. I like the sound profile on these better than the Sennheiser - if you’re looking at Razer, you probably know, though the smaller speakers are a bit tinnier/crunchier than you might be used to, they aren’t bad. Gaming mode seems ok, and, roughly a week in they are mostly devoid of issues - though, I can’t tell you if they’d outlast a hypothetical protection plan that I don’t have on them. Problems - 1.) The rubber/silicone/whatever sleeves doesn’t always like to stay on. 2.) Weirdly, when I pull the right earbud out (strangely always first) and put it in the case, the left starts playing again. This hasn’t seemed to cause any problems, though. 3.) Minor gripe: It isn’t rgb, it’s just g. Still pretty cool, though, and I hope the v3, if there is one, improves on the v2 improvements while having true Razer rgb (absent on the v2). 4.) No variation on the theme of Transparent hearing, which can be a nice touch once you’ve had it. I finally got around to playing with the EQ in the app, and it improved the sound quite a bit. It’s a bit harsher now, as I brought the mids out (basically I turned everything up a bit), but it is an improvement. They still aren’t perfect, but they are good for $50.

it took a while for my ears to get use to in-ear buds again, I have been using headphones for years until I broke my Klipsch reference headphones. I decided to pick these up for the convenience of single ear listening, ambience listening and the auto pause. I know other ear buds have this issue but some of the others I've tried from raycon, samsung, google, and other brands I've never heard before didn't sound good. They were designed to just sit in the ear not actually make a seal and provide the in-ear sound. I'm going to break this up in parts: Sound: They sound amazing, this is probably the first razer audio products to bring full clarity to music. Just for reference I listen to heavy metal. I prefer to keep the EQ on flat because their is a distinct difference between the subgenres like black metal, power, thrash, death and I don't want to have to constantly change the EQ per band, per album (production varies as well) and per song. However, the bass on these things were insane for me, I had to adjust the flat EQ to lower everything sub 80hz. I mean these things could rattle your glasses. After dropping the bass a bit, the Mids came to life and the sound is a phenom. function: I like that the touch delay is intentional. I'm old school, I've only ever used reference headphones, klipsch, AKG, Sony, etc. So this is fairly new to me and I like that delay. it allows me to adjust the buds without pausing the music or skipping a track. Battery: Honestly. They last me all day, I listen to them mainly at work. When I'm home I have my headphones, so in a good 8-10 hours with pauses here and there the batteries last. They're rated for 4 hours and the case is 20, and I haven't had to put them in the case at all. Granted this is just me, I pause music for phone calls (lanline phone) or conversations, meetings, etc. so they do go to sleep often to preserve that battery life. Comfort: I like they come with different style tips. Like I said it took a few days for my ears to get use to having something shoved into them but after that it was fine. The auto-pause / play helps if I have to take one out and adjust it. App: this is probably the Achilles heel. It takes a while to see the ear buds so changing settings you'll have to sit and wait. The first day I got the ear buds they worked for a few hours then the app stopped and wouldn't search for them. After getting zero help from reddit, forums, or even razer I sat and played with my phones settings. Turned out that google play services was the culprit and even rebooting the phone or shutting it down didn't help. I had to clear the cache for google play services, then it started working and I haven't had an issue. Overall: 4 out of 5, I'd rather have overpowered bass and tune it than lackluster bass. The app makes me worry sometimes, I can only see these getting better with more firmware updates.

I wasn't really sure what to expect from Razer when it came to earbuds. I've currently got the Kraken Ultimate and love it, but my experience with Razer is still extremely new. I watched a few reviews online and decided to try them out, as Amazon is pretty damn good with returns if you find something wrong with the product...as I did with the Sony Noise Canceling earbuds I had bought prior. They just wouldn't stay in my damn ears at all...and kept cutting in and out. Regardless, I bought these and the Hammerhead Quartz for my girlfriend, I really wish the Pros came in the pink...because I would have gotten her these instead. She really wanted pink. It's not that the base Hammerheads are bad, but the noise canceling would have helped her with a painful hearing issue she has. Either way, I'll have a review up for those too...which isn't quite as glowing, but still good. Anyway, I was extremely shocked by how good these are. While the Left earbud doesn't fit quite as well (I'm judging that based upon my intensive work rather than casual listening while out and about) as the Right, they both fit much better than the Sony buds...and seem to have comparable noise canceling. Furthermore, the Razer app is leaps ahead of what I experienced with Sony...something I like, a lot. The sound quality is great, and there's options to tweak everything via the app, rebind controls, etc...pairing worked perfectly fine, it doesn't seem to be cutting in and out, the volume is great, the charging case is very nice...they're just really great buds overall. The battery life isn't quite as long as I'd hope for and the noise cancelation isn't going to separate you entirely from the outside world...but, overall, I am overwhelmingly pleased with the buds. That said, I've been musing over a design for earbuds that are more likely to stay in the damn ear that I want to pitch to Razer sometime...an unorthodox design, no doubt...but fun, which they seem to go for.

The don't fit perfectly and the sound is only good cause it's plastic and not rubber but they should las a lot longer, the rubber caps wear off really fast but over all they work well, since the beginning the R headphone lasted about 1 hour less than the L one, in general they las for a little bit more than 3 hours and the box can charge them around 3 times completely, they work really good for me for the last 3 years.

Let me preface this by saying this is review is coming from the perspective of someone using this against AirPod Pros and on PC almost exclusively. I love my AirPods Pros, but swapping their connection from my phone (when I'm on the go) to my PC (for gaming) became an annoyance. Razer released these at a perfect time because it looked to be exactly what I wanted, AirPods Pro clones in black with all of the same features and low latency mode. Perfect? Eh, not really. Razer's packaging is par for the course, same old black and green number you've come to expect and they give quite a bit with the 7 total eartips for you to try out. Not bad, also props to them for going USB-C. Charging and connecting them to the PC was no problem. I'll start off with the good, the sound quality isn't that far off from the AirPods Pro though the bass isn't deep and the highs are a little too harsh at the same volume levels. They do also get loud, so if you're into hearing damage these have you covered if you really want to blast them. Comfort is also a plus when you find the right ear-tips though they don't seem to stay in my ears as snug as the AirPods. Each earbud is also 1g lighter than one AirPod so that's nice as well. It's best feature is the Low Latency mode, which works EXACTLY as described. Without it on the Hammerheads Pros have noticeably more Latency than my AirPods but once you turn on gaming mode you won't notice any, this mode effects how far you can be from your device but I don't see that being an issue for anyone. These things honestly wouldn't be too bad if it were not for the price... at $200 there's too many things holding it back: - Build Quality: Decent, but it feels light and the plastic feels hollow and cheap. You don't get any knurled metal like you would with other Hammerheads (for obvious reasons). - Comfort: It's just not on the same level for me, but this is personal for everyone, you might love it but they never felt super snug in my ears. - Mic: This just sounds awful and I wouldn't recommend using this mic for any sort of communication, it's just bad. - Charging: USB-C is great, but at $200 you don't get any wireless charging ability... come on. - Notifications: The AirPods Pro have different sound effects for everything you do and you just have to memorize what each one means to understand it, kinda strange but whatever. On the Hammerhead Pros you get this tinny sounding robotic lady telling you that Gaming Mod is on or that ANC has been activated in an accent. It sounds like something you'd find on a cheap knock-off brand of wireless earbuds. - ANC: I LOVE the ANC on my AirPods Pros, it's almost scary how disconnected you are from the world once it's on but it's perfection when you're just trying to zone out. The ANC on the Hammerhead Pros is serviceable but it doesn't hold a candle to what the AirPods can do. It's literally night and day. - The Hammerhead App: Oh boy does this thing suck, so I'm using the earbuds exclusively on PC but I thought, maybe I can tweek the EQ in the Android App, update the firmware and maybe get some better ANC and whatnot. Disconnecting them from my PC I tried to connect the Hammerheads to my Galaxy Fold and I got a fast notification asking me to pair them up and that it would tie it to my email account, sure, why not. No matter how many times I tried it would fail. However, I was able to manually pair them via the Bluetooth menu and they worked for calls and media. Good? No, the Hammerhead App is garbage and couldn't find the Hammerheads already connected to the phone, in or out of the case. It would constantly just fail to find them. Because of this I have no way of updating the firmware or customizing the EQ, maybe I could do it with Razer Synapse on PC but I'm not installing it just for a single product. At the end of the day these are hard to recommend at this price. If these were $150 then yeah, they're great... but you're compromising a lot not forking over the $50 extra for AirPods Pros unless you really need Low Latency mode (which admittedly is really nice) or have to have high end earbuds in black.

Purchased 3 years ago in 2022. Works perfectly today: -Sound quality is great, especially for gaming but I use these for everything. -Microphone is usable and okay. -Charge time is quick, maybe 30m-1hr The only negative I have is how difficult it is to connect with my computer on Windows 11. My phone connects instantly. Will buy again if these stop working. Best bang for the buck.
