Our Verdict
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed True Wireless
Sony INZONE Buds Truly Wireless
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed True Wireless are better earbuds for wireless gaming than the Sony INZONE Buds Truly Wireless. While both buds have similarly comfortable fits and lightweight, portable designs, the Razer have a more balanced sound profile, which you may prefer. They also have better mic performance and better Bluetooth connectivity options as they use the SBC codec by default. In contrast, the Sony only use LE audio, which is newer and has limited compatibility. However, the Sony have a considerably longer battery life.
