If cost is a major concern, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds offer good value and are suitable for gaming, thanks to their low latency. However, for a more immersive listening experience with superior audio quality, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 would be a better option, though they come at a higher price. Sennheiser's also boast active noise cancellation, which is excellent for noisy environments, whereas the Razer earbuds do not have this feature. Remember, if you're an avid gamer, the latency reduction on the Razers could be quite beneficial, but for everyday use and music listening, Sennheiser's sound quality and noise cancellation may be more important.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 has excellent build quality, while the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless has very good build quality.
"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.”"
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
