If immersive music listening is your priority, the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 offers very good overall sound quality with aptX lossless support, though it's not suitable for calls and meetings due to poor microphone quality. For gaming and TV, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless with its low latency game mode is a better fit. The Razers also provide better call quality if you take a lot of calls. For frequent travelers, the Aurvana Ace 2's active noise cancelling will be beneficial, but take note it's heavier and has a medium-sized carrying case compared to the Razer's small size. Choose Razer for longer battery life in the case, whereas Creative Labs offers wireless charging. Both are sweatproof and offer good noise isolation, but if app customization is important, both offer this feature with equalizers and controls. Give Feedback

The Verge
Chris Welch | August 2019
"This latest set is more “Pro” than not in both looks and features: they offer active noise cancellation, a low-latency gaming mode, and have switched to a in-ear design with silicone tips. Just like many of the company’s laptops and gaming accessories, the 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless include Razer’s full Chroma RGB system. It makes for what Razer calls “the ultimate wireless earbud flex.”"
