If you prioritize sound quality for music and noise isolation for air travel, the Jaybird Vista 2 with active noise cancelling would serve you well. However, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds have a low latency "Game mode" which makes them excellent for gaming and watching videos, plus superior microphone quality, helpful for calls. The Jaybird is more suited for exercise due to its sweat and dustproof design. Choose the Jaybird if you need durability and isolation for physical activities, or the Razer if you want better mic quality and a gaming-optimized experience. Give Feedback

Chase Bernath | September 2022
"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."

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.”"
