The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds are a good choice if you're looking for a less expensive option that excels in gaming due to its low latency game mode. They have a high comfort and microphone quality score, making them suitable for long gaming sessions and calls. However, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, while more expensive, offer superior noise isolation and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. These buds also support wireless charging and provide active noise canceling, making them ideal for travelers or anyone looking to reduce ambient noise. Choose the Razer for gaming and budget friendliness, or the Samsung for advanced features like noise cancellation and wireless charging, especially if you prioritize use during air travel and noise isolation in your daily activities.

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.”"
