IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g
weigh less than the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by -1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have sweat resistance
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have stereo speakers, what this means is that Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed and Jabra Evolve2 Buds work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by 4mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's measurement is 95dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's battery life is 6.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
more than that of Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by 3.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
less than that of Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by 3 hours
It requires 3 hours to fully charge the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by 1 hours
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a compatible charging pad.

longer than that of Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by 10meters
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have a latency of 40ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have 6 microphones.
