Review on 🎧 Razer Hammerhead ANC USB-C Earbuds: Custom-Tuned Dual-Driver DAC Technology - In-Line Mic & Volume Control - Aluminum Frame - Braided Cable - Matte Black by Jeff Dabney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good sound, great specs but for the price.

When you think of Razer you don't think of high quality headphones, especially when compared to more established music companies like Sennheiser, but they definitely surprise both musically and in terms of functionality. Sound: Sonically these are good headphones, the dual driver technology makes the difference amazing, yes I compare them to the koss dj pro 100 but even then they are no less amazing. The sound spectrum is balanced, with shark-like highs as it should be, with a good base but not too strong. They can be adjusted to suit everyone using the equalizer on your phone. Features: The main selling point of these headphones is the ACN and that's the only reason I was totally sold on them. Once you turn on the noise cancellation your ambient noise will quickly decrease, I tested in a school canteen with many students when I went above 50% volume the surroundings were imperceptible at all and it only gets better with comfortable earplugs. With the built-in DAC, you can play music in good quality. Problems: The main problem can be the price. $100 is a lot for most people, especially when it comes to headphones, and being USB-C doesn't help much, they're certainly good headphones, but the USB Type-C connection limits users with older phones and People who just want to charge their phone while listening to the music. As for the elasticity of the cable, it does have a braid, but it should loosen a little at the end and nothing to worry about. On my newest Hammerheads the cable has failed twice after a year of use so time will tell but it should be better because of the braided cable. Also a big issue is the sheath that comes with it, it's soft, the quality has gone down compared to previous hammerheads, would appreciate a harder sheath that would be better for transport. Documentation and soft case, that's all. Overall, I recommend these headphones to music lovers who also play games. If you can afford it, this is a good value package that gives you good features.
