Global consumer tech company Razer will bring its $149.99 Hammerhead wireless earbuds to PlayStation and Xbox in November.
Features include active noise cancellation, Chroma RGB lighting effects, a USB-C audio transmitter, and a USB-C to A adapter, as the X/S series consoles don’t have a USB-C port.
“The Xbox version is the definitive model because it can connect to Xbox consoles (which require a special security chip in the audio transmitter) and PlayStation consoles,” said Will Powers, his PR director for Razer. If you just want the PS theme colors, know that there are limitations in terms of compatibility compared to the Xbox version, even for the same price.
It also supports 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.2 for pairing with mobile devices. Plus, the USB-C HyperSpeed transmitter delivers audio with low latency (25-35ms) and with the charging case you can get up to 30 hours total usage. However, the buds themselves only last eight hours.
The earbuds are equipped with dual ambient noise-cancelling microphones that provide crystal-clear audio, the company added.
However, Razor also announced his $399.99 Nintendo Switch-style Android handheld device, billed as the world’s first 5G gaming device for him.
