Our Verdict
Razer Hammerhead USB-C ANC
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro are better headphones for most uses than the Razer Hammerhead USB-C ANC. The True Wireless Pro are more comfortable, have a more neutral sound profile which some users may like, and have a companion app with a graphic EQ and presets so you can tweak their sound. Their ANC system also offers a slightly better overall performance. However, the USB-C ANC have a wired USB-C connection which some users may prefer since this design ensures next-to-zero audio latency.
