Our Verdict
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless 2021
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed True Wireless
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed True Wireless are better in-ears than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless 2021. While both buds are decently comfortable, the Pro HyperSpeed have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their ANC blocks out more background noise. They also come with a USB-C dongle for low-latency gaming.
