And because you can select and use the equalizer, noise canceling mode, and gaming mode, you can set it up according to the situation.
In the case of noise canceling, there are three types: basic, noise canceling, and listening to ambient sounds. You can use noise canceling in noisy situations such as using public transportation, or use the ambient sound mode in situations where you need to hear your surroundings better, such as walking. .
One of the most important functions is to set up the touch function, and since the app can change the touch function to the desired action, it is recommended to assign the functions frequently used by the user to the more comfortable touch method.
5. Practical use
One of the most important aspects when using a real wireless Bluetooth earphone is the fit. The Razer hammerhead True wireless PRO is light in weight and offers a variety of ear tips for comfortable use.

The overall sound quality of the earphones is great. It can be used comfortably when listening to a variety of music or videos because it delivers a clear sound from low to high frequencies without feeling suffocated. In addition, as it is basically a canal type product, it shows good sound insulation even when the noise canceling function is not used.
And since there is no annoying noise when the earphone is connected or there is no part where you can feel the delay time characteristic of Bluetooth, it can be said that the basics of wireless Bluetooth earphone are well equipped. When used in gaming mode, latency is shorter, so it is recommended for those who enjoy gaming to use it in gaming mode.
In addition, the microphone performance is also not bad, so it is possible to deliver a clear sound from the other party even when making a call while connected to a smartphone.
And if you set the equalizer through the app, you can get a more satisfying sound depending on the situation, so it is recommended to use the app.
The noise canceling performance is also quite strong, and it effectively reduces the sound even in places where there is a lot of hum, such as public transportation, so there is no shortage of music, video, and games. It can be switched directly to use. In the default setting, if you press and hold the earphone, the mode is switched and a notification message appears from the earphone.
The overall usability is good because it has clean sound quality, latency that is not too noticeable even with Bluetooth connection, excellent noise canceling performance and ambient sound listening mode, and a good fit.
