I've had a bad experience with the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless (normal version), so I'm now very reluctant to pay more for the "Pro" version. Especially with the difficulty in returning headphones in Canada. There is a policy where they will only take headphones back if they haven't been open yet. My first set that I got at best buy, had trouble charging one ear. Within the same week, it stopped working all together. Took it back to Bestbuy, and luckily they were willing to exchange it for another set. The 2nd set.. the right ear would not charge right out of the box. Yes, I fully charged them and yes I tried to troubleshoot them (both pairs). Just a quick lookup and you can see razer wireless in-ear headphones have heaps of issues in general, mostly for having the exact same issue I've experienced. I went back and convinced them to give me credit instead (Best buy gift card). It has all the features I want (low latency, wireless, etc..), but I'm not ready to go through X amount of batches to find a pair that works, let alone pay more than double for a "Pro" version.
Maybe they got a defective bunch? Mines have been going for 2 years now... same buds. Never returned them and they still work. Im 100% buying the new ones coming up.
Razor bought THX so I don't know how much that certification really means when they're certifying themselves. But I haven't tried this until I can't speak to the quality. I do have the one more earbuds that are THX certified
The companies still operate separately from a business perspective, so I'm pretty sure THX has to maintain their reputation for certifications and ensure the product is up to spec and not just give a freebie passing grade, otherwise it would hurt THX's side of the business/brand.
@@alexnguyen018 yeah but there's still a bit of reputation that gets hurt here. They're are products that have the THX certification that are much worse than others that have the certification as well.
You really should've mentioned the volume on these. They are LOUD! Much louder than the airpod Pros. In my testing the pros at 100% volume are about the equivelent of 75% on these. I just wish these fit my ears as well as the airpod pros.
It's not that the Razer buds are underrated; Apple people buy Apple products. It makes no difference that there are so many earbuds better and cheaper than Airpod Pros. Apple could have sold them for $350 and been wildly successful.
Yup i have never seen cosutmer loyalty higher then the people that buy apple aspecialy with the airoods. Apple buyers try to justify it with the functions the apple airpods have but then the razer hanmerhead tws pros have way more functions if you download the app.
I have owned them for almost 2 years now and had to replace them with warranty 4 times!!! They last about 2-3 months and the sound starts loosing volume to where you can't hear anything. I will say the anc is nice and when you can hear them, they sound decent. I also bought my wife the pro versions and it lost sound on the left earbud in less than a month. I own a lot of other Razer products and do not have a problem with them but these have way too many problems for the price.
Really nice pair of earphones, and good quality for the price. I liked the green accents in the charging cable but I agree the Apple case was better. Thanks for the great video 👌
I just got one for myself today from your opinion on this video, I hope I would get the satisfaction out of these for at least 24 months of the warranty.
I haven’t used my Hammerhead Pros to listen to music so I can’t speak to that. But when using them for gaming I found the sound to be decent at best, for $200 I expected much better sound quality. The ANC is absolutely worthless, and I can’t use the app to adjust any settings while I’m using the earbuds and they’re connected to my ps5. If there’s a way to connect my AirPods to my ps5 I would gladly do so and sell the Hammerheads.
This pro version is becoming a lot more competive against the Apple. But I'm still skeptical about the durabilty of the pro version since the normal Razer wireless buds are pretty much defective
Great review thanks again. Speaking of going back I see that the Mefo 05 now has a plus model with upgraded firmware type-c charging some other stuff are you familiar with this? There's a lot of complaints about low volume are companies starting to limit the volume? 🤔🇺🇲💯 And the Air pod pros have the best set-up with the controls I wish more companies would do this.
How are these when pairing to multiple devices? Does it have multipoint connection or do you have to first unpair from one device before connecting to another?
I just got mine about 2 days ago.. I was thinking of getting the new Huawei Freebuds 5 or the Hammerhead X.. Im not into ANC, I dont like it, I like hearing everything outside while listening to music.. I only Got the Huawei Freelace to compare in my experience so theres not much.. also i'm a Huge Huawei Bias cause they're really good at everything. The Freelace is awesome but as I said its ANC and didnt like it but everything is great on the freelace, the battery last 48hours of continous playing so I was thinking of getting the Huawei Freebuds 5 but then I came across of the Hammer head X and its much cheaper.. and so I did it, I got the Hammerhead X, so far I don't have a problem with it but it would be better if it has wireless charging..
i think people mostly avoid razer product especially the audio is because their first few headphone are just realy sucks like the kraken. but i know they have been improving their newest product
After buying the Razer hummer head wired USB C and try them I will never trust and Buy anything from razer Again as it was a very disappointing experience interms of sound while gaming, I have hyper X wired earbuds which is cheaper and I was very impressed with the sound while gaming!the sound volume is almost double the one on Razer and it's crystal clear while the razer is normal and the sound volume is low compared to the hyper X Buds! And I recently bought flydigi Cyber fox T1 for 60$ with gaming mode , the volume is fine but I was really impressed with the gaming mode as they claim it's 60ms but from my experience it's 0 without any lag while gaming or at least I didn't feel it! Ok there is no wireless charging or noice canceling but I blv that all gamers don't look for these two options, they only look for the quality of the sound while gaming which impressed me in the flydigi earbuds!
@@afrokidd214 trust me buy the flydigi , the lag is letterly 0 even it's a Bluetooth, I was really shocked , but the volume level is not extremely high like the hyper X wired buds
Pls make a review for freebuds 4i (Complete review details including the voice call quality) i purchased one of it but i want to know your opinion about it.. thank you!
My pair's a bit jank. The right one doesn't charge unless it's in the case buy itself so charging them is an annoying process. I'm hoping for some kind of firmware update.
@Justin Pullin there the second-generation Echo Buds The new Echo Buds have active noise cancellation, like the AirPods Pro. Amazon says they block twice as much background noise as the first model. The feature makes for better listening in places like airplane cabins or crowded streets. They're 20% smaller than the first generation and are supposed to be more comfortable thanks to a redesign and a variety of rubber tips that come with the headphones. Amazon's second-generation Echo Buds They also come with a carrying case that's 40% more compact than the older model. And, finally, the case uses a more modern USB-C charger that you might already have for your laptop, tablet or phone. You can also opt for an upgraded case that supports wireless charging, a feature also offered by Apple, for $20 more. Amazon's second-generation Echo Buds Amazon said each bud has three microphones to help improve audio quality in noisy environments. They'll also help Alexa hear you better and improve your voice clarity in phone calls. It improved the bass and treble, too. There are a couple of new software features. Amazon is introducing a feature to help you find your lost earbuds by just saying "Alexa, find my buds," for example, which is similar to Apple's Find My software. Alexa will also offer public transit directions in seven cities - New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Jersey City and Philadelphia. Support for other cities will launch in coming months, Amazon said. Amazon's second-generation Echo Buds Amazon says the second-generation Echo Buds will offer five hours of music playback with noise cancellation on (or 6.5 hours if it's off) and up to four hours of call time. The case offers up to 15 additional hours (or 19.5 hours with active noise canceling off.) The Echo Buds will launch on May 13 in white and black. They'll start at $99 for the regular model or $119.99 for a version with the wireless charging case. After a promotional period that ends May 12, they'll cost $119.99 and $139.99, respectively.
The Airpods Pro sound better. In reality, the Airpods Pro sound more natural and have better vocal performance. Due to some adaptive eq processing the Airpods Pro sounds a bit meshed together and therefor less distinc in instruments and its a bit slow. The Bass on the Razer’s is just boomy and messy and spills into the midrange. The treble on the Razer’s lacks low treble sparkle and has a mid treble focused treble and gives them rather a V shaped sound signature which is good for gaming. The Airpods pro only have a slight bump in the mids from 400-600 hz which makes them a bit muddy. The Airpods Pro have a nicely boosted lower bass. The Airpods pro are more accurate but lack precision unlike the The Lypertek Tevi or the Etymotic ER2XR.
I think the problem with these earbuds is their overly gamer-oriented design and their price. 90% of people who are in the Apple ecosystem will prefer to buy Airpods-Pro at this price, and those who are on Android will prefer to buy earbuds that have the Adaptive APTX with gaming mode than easily found for less than $ 50.
I don’t think these are underrated at all…. $200 dollar price point with only 4 hours of battery life and probably less with gaming mode on. Razer products are overpriced and overrated.
I don't believe this Apple ecosystem thing. When I open the lid, my 1more Pistonbuds automatically connect to my iPhone xs max. I'd never buy airpods. My next buds will be Sony wf-1000xm4. I can live without spatial audio.
5 months later and I still never got that review sample from Razer!😂
Lmao they want you to buy them
Makes no sense
The gen 1's which are on sale for around $40 on Amazon are really bad
Comply foam tips? Woah hope every earbuds do that

That's very unfornate. Just bought one as it was on sale for half the price. Here's hoping it could last a couple years
Maybe they got a defective bunch? Mines have been going for 2 years now... same buds. Never returned them and they still work. Im 100% buying the new ones coming up.
As much as I would love to buy this Keith I can't, still saving for those new Sony's! But please keep these great video's coming!
Agreed!
Give this man 200k already!!!
First for my go to headphones 🎧 and and wireless reviewer top youtuber.
Thanks for your vids gamesky. I bought my earbuds long ago based on your (and el jefe) reviews and I have no regrets.
Razor bought THX so I don't know how much that certification really means when they're certifying themselves. But I haven't tried this until I can't speak to the quality. I do have the one more earbuds that are THX certified

I have these for 4 month and i changed them 2 time with the same problem , left one doesn t charge anymore .

There are just way too many earbuds out there these days to pay that kind of money for that kind of battery life even though you're playing gaming
Without mentioning many lacks of features

Interesting, I went and revisited these a little while ago because I'm playing Xbox Cloud and so far they are my go-to's. Good timing!
Are they good for playing on Nintendo Switch?
very good

Mine did get quieter too but it turned out it was just that the speakers got clogged after i cleaned that they returned to the previous volume
if im using the hammerheads for xbox gaming how would i mute myself in party chats?
I like loud earuds any recommendations
Pro vs X or 2021 (2nd gen)?
Really nice pair of earphones, and good quality for the price. I liked the green accents in the charging cable but I agree the Apple case was better. Thanks for the great video 👌
Every time I try noise cancellation the left side goes out.

Hallo. This is on sale tomorrow in our area. I have one question, is it comfortable to use while sleeping? Thank youu
Can you please review the hammerhead hyperspeed. I only trust two youtube channels with audio reviews and this is one of them :)
The app renamed to "Razer Audio"?

Maybe
Best detailed video on this product , answered everything I need to know ,………”I’m Gettin em “ 😅
I have a hard time i have the first version but deciding if i want the AirPods Pro or the hammerhead pros what do you guys think i should get ?

Not sure, it may be a new set price
Agree with you, Razer is very good. THX certification Improve sound quality 👍
Can these earphones work on PlayStation 4 pro for gaming? Also great 👍🏻 in depth video!
Im curious too for regular ps4, someone mentioned in another video you need a device for it to work dunno which
@@nefelibata4190 yeah apparently you need a USB Bluetooth adapter to make it work with ps4/ps4 pro

These and the Opus are severely underrated imo
Completely agree
Do razor just make stem style earbuds
As of now that's all they make
Been looking at these. For that price there are many options.
The Razer Hammerhead just lack a wireless charging case
The razer app never worked for me but oh well
Finally, a volume control, fresh from the new firmware update and app!

Same can be said about apple products yet people buy them, to each their own tho.
So that doesn't apply to Airpods Pro?
