Gaming Buds! : Razer Hammerhead True Wireless REVIEW By Gamesky

So today's video is sponsored by the company minimal case now I've always been curious to why people go out and buy the latest greatest sleek, looking design phones only to cover them up with those huge bulky cases. So that's where the company minimal case comes in now they offer cases for the newest phones while keeping the phone looking the way it was intended to look now. My personal favorite is the transparent case, which basically looks like you, don't have a case at all and that's the one that I have on my pixel for it so, but they also offer colors in frosted white frosted, black and matte black, so there's no flashy colors. They try to keep it simple, which is the overall idea behind their cases. Now, if you go to their site and use the code game ski you can save 25% off I'm also going to put a link in the description that, if you use that it will automatically apply the discount when you go to checkout, but I'd like to thank minimal case for sponsoring today's video all right guys. So today we're gonna look at a pair of truly wireless earbuds from the company razor.

That's right. The gaming company razor has now entered the truly wireless market and the pair we're gonna look at is the Racer hammerhead, true Wireless, so to start with these armed $99, and they actually have the ear pod style design, but they are offering some features that make these different from your normal, truly wireless earbuds. But let's go ahead and check out some specs and what comes inside the box now. The first thing I want to point out is: it does have Bluetooth 5.0. So as far as lag and latency with watching videos, I didn't experience anything there, but the huge thing about This is: it has a gaming mode which switches into like ultra-low latency.

So as far as PC gaming and mobile gaming, it's going to cut down on you having like hardly any lag at all. It says like 60 milliseconds and anybody that games knows how important that is. The IP X rating is ipx4 I. Don't know why there's a pattern of this lately, but IP x4 is at the lower end of the spectrum, so yeah, it's fun for rain and sweat and stuff like that, but as far as getting it anywhere near where you may drop them into water, you don't want to do that, but inside the box you're getting what they call a silicone ear sleeve. So it's not a silicone ear tip, but I think it's more people that want to go out and run and stuff like that and may have an issue with ear buds kind of bouncing or moving around in their ears.

This just helps keep it more secure, but for me personally, I prefer using these without the little sleeve. Now it also has a little strap that you can connect to the case that way, if you don't want to throw it in your pocket or if you just wanted to use it to loop around something on your bag, you have that option, and so the charging cable they included, is a really nice fabric. USB cable. This is where some people are going to have an issue with these, and I completely get it. The battery life on these individually are around three hours that is really, really low and then, with the charging case, you're only going to get around 16 hours of use.

So as far as battery life, that's some of the lowest that I've seen in truly wireless earbuds. Now I, don't know if the battery life is being affected because of the ultra-low latency mode that they have or the fact that the case of these is tiny, so you can't really fit a large battery in these there's no excuse it's a very small battery. Now the case on these, like I said, is a very small case. It's easy to throw in your pocket or your bag, and just kind of forget that it's in there you have a single indicator, light on the front, and then you have your USB-C charging input on the back now the earbud design, like I said, is very similar to the air pod style, not only because it has the stem design, but also the earbud part itself. Has the exact same look as air pods? So, if you're already familiar with how those fit you will automatically kind of feel comfortable with these right off the bat? Now they are using custom 13 millimeter drivers, which thirteen millimeter drivers in an earbud is pretty large.

The one thing, I'm sad to say right off the bat is they didn't use. RGB lighting I know that sounds like a minor complaint, but most of the time when I'm buying Racer products I really like to have that little of glow, or at least maybe that little of option of changing, colors and I think it would have been a nice touch here now. As far as your controls go, these do use touch controls which controls everything but volume and again same complain as always, I really wish companies would use volume control being able to just do it. On the earbud themselves, I mean you can summons your smart sis tent, it's just not always convenient, then the other thing that they added in This is being able to switch them into gaming mode, which then immediately puts them into ultra-low latency mode, which is very vital when you're playing games. Now that's with your mobile device, it's with the PC and that's the convenience of these I believe I think the fact that they don't have any latency with playing PC games and then switching over if you're, a mobile gamer as well.

It just makes it really convenient, but to switch them. You tap your earbud three times, and you hold it on that. Third, until you hear it say that it's switching it in a gaming mode and to be able to switch it back, you just do the exact same thing now. The mics on these are actually very decent. Again, that's important for gaming as well, but I think that also is the reason they go for the ipx4 water-resistant, because if it is anything higher, it has to have more coding which ultimately would affect the microphone.

But you guys can be a judge by listening to a test here, all right guys. So here is a mic test using the Racer hammerhead, true Wireless again. I think this might pick up very, very well, and you can hear the details on my voice clearly, and so here is the microphone with a crowd noise being played in the background. So you can kind of get an idea of what it would sound like if you're using these in public. So now, let's get into the sound, and before I get into the sound I want to go ahead and touch on the volume these get plenty loud, especially on PC, but even with mobile devices.

I didn't have any issue with thinking these needed to be louder, and the other surprising thing is I found that, even though these are the kind of just kind of sit in your ear, I got a better seal with these than I have with others that have this similar style. So the sound is surprisingly very clear, while still having razor's usual like impactful bass, but it does feel like Racer cleaned up the bass a little, because it's not as sloppy as it is with some of their headsets. Now I'm not saying their base in general is sloppy, but they usually don't focus on tightening it up, and these have more of a tighter impact hit, which is great for gunshots explosions, and everything like that. These are perfect for watching movies. Just as long as your movie isn't over three hours long now, when it comes to treble the treble, is bare detail-oriented I don't feel like it's pushed to that point of almost being too bright or too harsh.

It kind of sits right back about where the base does where they definitely have their presence, but they're, not at the point where they feel like they're, just trying to do too much they're not trying to take over they're letting the mid do what they need to do. This is a really nice overall balance, truly wireless earbud but balanced in a way where it's like still turned up. In balance. It's not flat by any means now the one frequency I feel like they just really focused a lot on here, and it really is the most important frequency when you're playing games are the mid, the mid as far as singers go. It always feels like they're right there in front of you, but with playing games.

You hear dialogue very well. You hear footsteps really well. Everything is tuned in a way to bring out those subtle sounds I think this is what separates this product from other truly wireless earbuds. You can really tell that this is focused on gaming, but does an excellent job with music as well. So as far as my cons with these I think, the battery life being as low as it is, is going to affect how people will approach these I mean three hours for some just is not going to cut it.

The px4 rating is another thing that just kind of makes some people leery about using these in certain environments, and this may just be me, but I really wish they would have included. RGB lighting I mean I, know some people don't like RGB, but razors always been associated with that, and so just to have your earbuds have that option would have been nice but overall for a hundred dollars. This is an excellent media, truly Wireless earbud. It works great for games movies, music sounds fantastic. The sound stage sounds a little more open because you don't have the seal of silicon ear buds.

It's not perfect by any means, but it definitely ticks a lot of the boxes, especially if you're somebody that's into gaming, but guys. This is my review of the Racer hammerhead. True Wireless. Thank you so much for checking out this video. Thank you so much for checking out all the other videos and, as always, make sure to stay tuned for more.
