Our Verdict
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless 2019
Turtle Beach Battle Buds
The Turtle Beach Battle Buds are better gaming headphones than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless 2019. While the Razer are better for daily use thanks to their truly wireless design, they're Bluetooth-only, and you can't use them with a PS4 or Xbox One. The Turtle Beach are wired and can be plugged directly into your console's controller. Their microphone also performs a lot better than the Razer.
