Razer's Hammerhead True Wireless Promises To Kill Lag With Gaming Mode

Following some recent teases of latest wireless earbuds, Razer couldn’t hesitate to have its own offering with gaming spin. Dubbed as Hammerhead True Wireless, it comes packed with a familiar set of a battery charging case and stem-equipped buds. More important, the earset is slated to minimize the lag based on Bluetooth connection as much as possible, especially for gamers and audiences usually watching videos.

According to Razer, the Hammerhead is not “lag-free”, but with the help of a Bluetooth 5 link that has been customized, the earbuds will offer a gaming mode in action with just 60ms of latency. In addition, the gaming gear manufacturer also ensures a frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20kHz through its 13mm drivers. Users can conveniently enable auto-pairing and start using voice assistants while wearing these sweat-proof earbuds.

However, battery life seems to be a weakness of the Hammerhead. In fact, the buds themselves provide three hours of playing music on a charge, while AirPods last for five hours. In the meantime, the charging case is also a low-powered outlet as it just offers a total of 15 hours. Of course, the Hammerhead actually can’t address the full-time job if you’re on a long-haul flight.

Last but not least, the price tag looks acceptable. The Hammerhead True Wireless marks itself a budget choice for customers, surpassing big-name competitors like AirPods and Galaxy Buds in terms of cost. At present, you’ll be set back around $100 to get a couple of new Razer’s earbuds as well as a completely immersive experience when gaming.
