I never travel without my favorite gaming earbuds - and they’ve finally hit a record-low price at Amazon

I first reviewed the Razer Hammerhead HyperSpeed earbuds in March last year, and I’ve been watching for deals ever since. Sadly, I’ve not been met with success. Razer’s PlayStation-themed buds have been stuck at MSRP for months, only ever dipping to $137 once thi🐽s year. That’s all changed today, though, with a brand new record-low price at Amazon. 

Today’s discount drops the PlayStation edition down to for a roughly $20 saving in the US. That’s not a major discount in the grand scheme of things, but considering these have been so stubborn in holding on to their MSRP I’ll certainly take it. When I say I’ve been waiting for this kind of saving, I mean it - I’ve been checking this Amazon page at least once a week over the last few months. That’s because these are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming earbuds I’ve tested yet - perfectly pairing convenience with performance and doing it a🌳ll at a fantastic price even at full whack. 

For reference, the Asus ROG Cetra True Wireless Speednova currently sits at for a similar set of features. I’ve scrolled through Amazon, and the closest alternative I can f🍒ind aཧt the Hammerhead Hyperspeed’s price point is the Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 (). That’s without a low-latency 2.4GHz receiver and with a ‘frequently returned’ disclaimer on Amazon’s site.

Save $22 - It’🔯s a smaller saving, but the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeeds were already well-priced at MSRP and they’ve only ever bꦡeen discounted twice before today. Even then, we only dropped down to $137.99 which makes today’s $127.99 position a record-low.

Should you buy the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeeds?

I don’t take a trip without the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed earbuds. With a solid 32 hours of battery life split between six hours in the buds and 26 in the casꦗe, active noise cancellation, a speedy 2.4GHz USB-C receiver, an easy Bluetooth connection, and excellent audio they’re a must-pack. 

My initial testing put these buds through Dragon Quest Builder💙s 2 and Pokemon Legends Arceus on Nintendo Switch, as well as The Last of Us Part 2 and Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 and Doom Eternal on PC. The Hammerheads shouldered all that with aplomb, offering bassy rumbles where needed and particularly keen attention to full-bodied dialogue.  

Since testing the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeeds further after m🦄y review, I’ve also noticed that they’re even slightly better than my AirPods Pros (first gen) at blocking low-frequency sounds through ANC. While the fit isn’t quite as comfortable as Apple’s iteration (and I did drop integrations with my phone and watch), they’re still a sophisticated set of buds. 

I’d recommend these buds to anyone after a set of gaming-focused (read fas♍t) earbuds that can easily double up for everyday music and calls while o🍌ut and about. However, there are two situations that call for something else. If you need to rely on tap gestures a lot, I’d look elsewhere. My frustrations with the reliability (or lack thereof) of the Hammerheads have continued, to the point where I don’t even try communicating through these touch movements anymore. Similarly, if you need a set of buds for Xbox play you’ll want to take a look at the dedicated Xbox variant instead of this PlayStation option - though the price is slightly higher still.
