Let's consider your preferences. If budget is a primary concern and you need a microphone for calls, the KZ ZSN Pro is a cost-effective choice. However, if you are looking for wireless freedom and ease of use, particularly for activities like working out or if you simply prefer not to deal with cable management, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless could be the better option. Keep in mind that the tradeoff with true wireless earbuds like the Hammerhead is typically a higher price and the need to charge them more frequently, but they offer greater convenience and mobility. If you are an avid gamer, the Hammerhead may provide lower latency, which is preferable for gaming and watching videos, whereas the KZ ZSN Pro with a wired connection could have higher latency which can be less ideal for such activities.

David Becker | 2019
"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."

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.”"
