If you prioritize active noise canceling for a quieter listening experience, especially during air travel or in noisy environments, the Jabra Elite 4 would be suitable since the Razer Hammerhead lacks this feature. However, if you are a gamer or frequently watch TV, the Razer's low latency 'Game mode' is beneficial for syncing audio with visuals, which Jabra might not match. For fitness enthusiasts, both are sweatproof, but the Jabra's better calls and meetings performance makes it ideal for taking calls on the go. The Razer offers longer battery life in the case, which is great for extended use without charging. Give Feedback

How the Jabra Elite 4 and the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless compare to other earbuds and headphones
"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
"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.”"
