Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s rating for solids indicates 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.
In comparison to the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen), Nuraphone NuraTrue have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a weight of 14.8g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Nuraphone NuraTrue also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds .

Nuraphone NuraTrue's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

Both Nuraphone NuraTrue, and Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound made by the device.
Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s battery life is 6.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery life is
less than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) by 0.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s case has a full charge of 26 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) by 8 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
Nuraphone NuraTrue takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) by 0.5 hours
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case.
Nuraphone NuraTrue too have a battery level indicator, these allow you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Nuraphone NuraTrue too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
