If you prioritize gaming and want lower latency for better sync with on-screen action, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds have a "Game mode" designed for this purpose, although they may not be the best for calls and meetings. On the other hand, the Soundcore Life P3 offers superior noise isolation, which can be ideal for air travel or noisy environments, but lacks gaming optimization. Both are similarly priced, and they offer good sound quality, though the Razer option is slightly ahead, and both have an array of controls and customizations available through their apps.

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.”"

Alex Bracetti | July 2021
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
