The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds offer a superior gaming experience with low latency and high overall sound quality, being suitable for use during exercise and featuring active noise cancellation. However, they are in a higher price bracket compared to the Soundcore P20i. On the other hand, the Soundcore P20i earbuds, while more budget-friendly, also offer sound customization through an app and boast a longer battery life. They're great for calls, meetings, and everyday use but may not provide the same level of immersion during gaming or media consumption as the Razer earbuds. If cost is a major factor for you and your usage isn't heavily focused on gaming, the Soundcore P20i could be a satisfactory choice. Otherwise, for a more immersive audio experience and gaming suitability, you might prefer the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless despite the higher price. Give Feedback

How the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless and the Soundcore P20i compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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.”"
"I would recommend the Soundcore P20i Earbuds to everyone who loves music and would like to own comfortable pair of earbuds with a great range of sound quality. I would recommend users who buy this device use the right comfortable ear tips as per your ear design."
