Our Verdict
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro
Sony INZONE Buds Truly Wireless
The Sony INZONE Buds Truly Wireless are better for wireless gaming than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro. While the Razer have a more neutral sound profile and better mic recording quality, which you might prefer, they're Bluetooth-only and don't have a dedicated wireless dongle like the Sony. They can only connect to PCs via Bluetooth, and even with their "Game" mode enabled, the latency is still too high for many games. The Sony also have a superior noise isolation performance and a longer continuous battery life, but their LE Audio codec severely limits which devices they're compatible with over Bluetooth.
