If you're looking for earbuds more suitable for a tight budget, the JBL Tune Flex might be the better choice due to their lower midrange price. However, in terms of features, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless offers superior noise isolation and a game mode with low latency, which is great for gaming. Both have good sound quality for listening to music, but if you often make calls, the Razer has better mic quality. For exercise enthusiasts, both are sweatproof, but the Razer is lighter, potentially making it more comfortable for long workouts. The JBLs have a longer standalone battery life, but the Razer's case holds more additional charges, which is handy for extended use without needing a power source. If portability matters to you, the Razers are smaller and may be easier to carry around. If active noise cancelling is important for your use in noisy environments or air travel, the JBLs have this feature while the Razers do not. Consider what features align best with your usage patterns and preferences. Give Feedback

Gabby Bloch | May 2023
"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."

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.”"
