If you're looking for a wireless experience with the convenience of not dealing with cables, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds are the way to go. They also offer better sound quality, comfort, and are well-suited for gaming due to their low latency gaming mode. Additionally, they are sweatproof and come with active noise cancelling, which makes them ideal for exercise and air travel. However, they come at a higher price. On the other hand, if you're on a budget and prefer over-the-ear headphones, the Sony MDR-ZX110 might be suitable for you. They are wired, which means you don't need to worry about battery life, but they do not offer features like active noise cancelling or sweatproof certification. They are also less portable and not as comfortable for prolonged use. Consider what features are most important for your everyday use and choose accordingly. Give Feedback

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.”"

"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
