If you're looking for a versatile earbud set that excels in gaming due to low latency and offers good sound quality, with the added benefit of being sweatproof, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless could be your choice, especially if cost is a significant factor. However, if you prioritize active noise cancelling for better sound isolation, especially during air travel or in noisy environments, and you don't mind spending more, the Soundcore Space Q45 headphones are likely a better fit for you. The Space Q45 also include a detachable cable for wired listening, which the Razer earbuds lack. 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.”"

Sound Guys

Riley Ballantyne | June 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
