Look What They've Managed To Hide In Here...

So this unusual package showed up. You can see it as a Pikachu Pokemon situation and a Razer logo going on over there

These two products showed up together, the Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds. But then this one is the one that caught my attention because it's got a Pokeball on it and has the same Hammerhead Wireless Earbuds but in yellow

So I did a little bit of research. This unit on the right is a China exclusive limited edition collaboration between Razer and Pokemon

And it lets your full wireless earbuds charge up inside of the Pokeball

That's some next level stuff for the Pokemon fans out there, certainly

But it's also just a unique implementation. There's so many wireless, fully wireless headsets out there

And this is a unique way of doing it. And since I wanted to evaluate the Hammerhead True Wireless anyways

they say ultra low latency. You know, they're trying to act like this in-ear earbud could be a replacement

for a gaming headset, a wireless gaming headset. I mean, they don't say it in those terms

but they're Razer after all. There has to be some sort of gaming angle all the time

So anyways, the Pokemon version is the one I want to crack into because it's just a little more fun

Well, maybe I'll compare to both of them. Always with the missing knife

Yeah, you know what? Why don't we just compare the two of them? I'm only going to do one sound test, obviously

because they are the same earbuds. But I mean, I never thought I'd see the day

You probably didn't either. ultra low latency for seamless immersive sound touch enabled voice assistant compatible water

resistant design for an active lifestyle they got look at they got the pikachu on the side they're

yellow bluetooth 5.0 and auto pairing sound isolation silicone earbud sleeves and custom

tuned 13 millimeter drivers but it's really i guess it's all about the pokeball oh they also

put out some other accessories. Again, China exclusive Pikachu themed situation. Now, I

understand that this Pokemon style is not going to be for everyone, but the evaluation

rings true in general, especially since the hammerhead earbud that's inside of here is

the same one they sell if you just want the typical black version. If you don't feel that

you can pull off the Pikachu stylings Oh that nice Look at that little unboxing That nice little unboxing experience right there Razor Pokemon What do we do Oh that kind of cool You got to admit that kind of cool Look at this

Perfect little ball there. Look at that. It's cute. Do you call that cute? What'd you call that cute

I don't know. The packaging here is definitely an upgrade, and I think it's because they consider this probably to be some sort of a collector's item

Okay, so we pop this open. Is it a, oh, we don't do that

What do we do? Oh, you just lift it up, okay? You just, you lift it up and there is your headset

Now it beeped, it gave me a beep and there's a light on the front flashing

So the earbuds obviously fit in. Like this is not the most portable version of this case

I don't even know if you could call it pocketable, unless you got big pockets

Type C connector on the back. Did you hear that? It says Pika. Very quietly though. You gotta listen for it. Okay, let's just

do a quick, before I put these in my ears, let's do a quick comparison to the other unit and how

their standard Hammerhead headset is packaged and what the case looks like. All the specs appear to

be the same. You get a different Razer themed piece of paperwork. Yeah, so the case is much

smaller here. This is definitely pocketable comparatively, but that's not the point. You know

to point here? Pokemon fans worldwide, they got their own headset now to support. They wear it

on the wrist. That's where your earbuds fit, and this is what the black version of the Hammerhead

looks like. They're quite lightweight. The ear tip is a sort of an in-the-ear style. It goes in

your ear, but not too far. There is a magnetic grip to it, and then that's what your package

looks like at the end of it but you've seen that one before that's been out for a while that's this

is the limited edition one so I might as well pair up to these guys to do my evaluation look at these

little friendly things the material is quite a bit different so this is a matte finish on this earbud

whereas this one is glossy this is this bugs me how this thing does this you can't shouldn't it

stand up straight I mean it does but it's eventually this would drive that would drive me crazy

Eventually This is the type of activity that you do all day You put them in and out of the charge cases I dying oh it just it just screamed pika chewing my ears very loud in fact okay hold up these go

way louder for some reason these go way louder I feel like they don't have the same limiter on them

I can usually crank the volume full blast right away on any true wireless earbud I don't I don't

want to go I'm like more like three quarters on these can I pull that off or what bright yellow

earbud let me get something with a little bit of bass on it um they're loud but it's not uh

they're loud in the treble region they're not loud in the bass region uh sometimes it just has to do

with the seal because you have a lot of sound bleeding with something that doesn't fit in your

ears super tightly so I'm gonna try these out might as well and then I think I might as well try the

other ones just to see if there's any sound difference I don't expect it I think that the

same product it's not gonna change it too much I'll leave one in one so I can see the difference

this scream because I triggered the assistant oh for me it definitely sounds worse with these

things on substantially worse I'm losing even more low end I suppose maybe because of the fit it

doesn't it's it's sitting even further on the outside of my ear c with those on i mean

they're they're sort of in airpods territory they can't nothing that sits on the outside of your ear

c can really compete with something that has a dedicated ear tip and sits inside obviously it

gets closer to your eardrum you have a better seal it can create more pressure within the ear c

maybe i should just boot up a video real quick and see if there's any lag or if the audio matches

the lips. It works. I don't notice any lag. I don't notice any problems with it. So, okay. So there's

your limited edition China exclusive. I don't know what you're going to have to pay to try to track

one of these down, particularly if you want to import it to North America. Is it a real product

Is it a collector's item? Well, it's a bit of both. They do really sell this set of earbuds

but what's the practicality of sticking this thing in your pocket unless you're some sort of super fan

Let's try and pair up to these ones. Since we have them both here, we might as well just give it a

If you have other Razer products it just some cohesiveness Maybe you have a Razer laptop Let do the same song Woo Loud They go loud man So 100 bucks by the looks of it

100 bucks for the stock ones. I mean, we're not talking, of course, about the super limited Pokemon version

That's interesting because I just tested those Anker earbuds. I want to refresh myself right now real quick

Yeah, it was these guys right here. Now the container, the package is

well, it's shaped differently, but it's roughly the same size. This one has an indicator on the front for battery life

I've probably explained this in the past, but these ones have the interchangeable ear tip

which sits further in the ear c. And of course there's other products like this

more expensive ones. Samsung makes the Galaxy Buds. Apple has the AirPods Pro

This is a more affordable version of a Pro model. Soundcore Liberty Air 2

That's that one. So this is discounted 20 bucks to 79. Now one thing to note, it's not all bonus

It's not all positive when you go with an in-ear style. It does isolate you more from your

surroundings. So it's a benefit drawback. Same track. Yeah. It's not even close. Yeah. I mean

look, if you are a bass head, if you appreciate bass, if you listen to music where bass is really

important, if it's a key component for you, go with any headset that's going to sit further in

the ear c and give you the interchangeable ear tips. They're a little less convenient

like I said, because you can't hear your surroundings easily. For like electronic music

it's night and day, the difference. So it is a bit curious that Razer has gone for this particular

design, considering their emphasis on gaming and the electronic edginess. But maybe that has to do

with the fact that Razer makes so many gaming specific headsets, over the ear style headsets

Yeah, those are 20 bucks more on Amazon than these are and I would probably go for these. But

if you're a super Pokemon fan and you want to try to get your hands on this limited edition

well, I can't find you another substitute for that. If you want to carry your headphones in

a Pokeball, then I think you have one option
