If you prioritize gaming and plan to use your earbuds during air travel, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless, with its dedicated low latency game mode and better noise isolation, would be more suitable despite being slightly more expensive. Conversely, if you're looking for earbuds with solid overall sound quality for music, calls, and meetings, and you appreciate the convenience of a lower-priced option, the "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick performs well in these areas and has a unique design, but it offers less effective noise isolation which might not be ideal for noisier environments. Both have low latency modes, support for AAC codec, and are stem-form earbuds that are small, sweatproof, and optimized for both Android and Apple devices. Give Feedback

Sound Guys

Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."

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.”"
