If you prioritize a secure in-ear fit and active noise cancellation for an immersive sound experience, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless could be the better choice, but they are pricier. These are good for environments where you want to block out surrounding noise. However, if you are looking for headphones that allow you to stay aware of your surroundings, such as when running outdoors, then the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones might suit you better, often at a lower cost. Bone conduction headphones don't isolate noise, so they are safer for outdoor activities but offer less bass and overall sound quality compared to traditional earbuds. Give Feedback

The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless and Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones both have very good build quality, though the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless has somewhat better 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.”"
"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
