The truly wireless earbuds utilize a “customized” Bluetooth 5.0 connection that Razer claims reduces latency down to just 60ms when used in Gaming Mode.
They’re also devoid of the stuttering and desynching issues that plague other Bluetooth devices, Razer added.

Razer’s earbuds are IPX4 rated for sweat and splash protection but do leave a bit to be desired in the battery department with just three hours of runtime on a single charge. The wireless charging case can supply up to four additional recharges for a total of 15 hours of use.
The $99 price tag seems fair for what’s being offered, but these earbuds might have a tough time standing out from the crowd if the Gaming Mode doesn’t make a huge difference when you’re gaming on an Android phone. We will test them more to find out if the low-latency mode makes or breaks these earbuds. The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless are available now on Razer.com.
