Razer introduces Hammerhead V3 Chroma earbuds with ANC and an angled USB-C plug

On November 5, Razer announced wired earbuds for gaming on phones, handhelds and computers that support USB-C audio. The 90-degree plug runs close to the device's edge so the cable is less likely to get in the way of a landscape grip.

On November 5, Razer announced wired earbuds for gaming on phones, handhelds and computers that support USB-C audio. The 90-degree plug runs close to the device's edge so the cable is less likely to get in the way of a landscape grip. [1]

What changes

The earbuds feature active noise cancellation, with an inline remote for toggling ANC, adjusting volume and controlling playback. Each earbud pairs an 11 mm dynamic driver with a 6 mm tweeter. THX 7.1 surround sound requires Razer Synapse on PC. [1]

Context

In its November 6 announcement, Razer Japan said it planned to launch the earbuds in Japan in December at ¥14,280 including tax. [2]

What to check in practice

Before buying them for mobile gaming, check that your exact device supports USB-C audio and that its case leaves room for the angled plug. On PC, check separately which features rely on Synapse. The announced Japanese launch applies to Japan. The cited source gives no Spanish date or price.
