PlayStation and Xbox are getting officially licensed Razer Hammerhead earbuds

The Razer Hammerhead line is expanding with a new set of earbuds officially licensed by PlayStation and Xbox. With a visual design meant to match the PS5 and Xbox Series X, Razer Hammerhead HyperSpeed earbuds come with a Type-C dongle and feature up to 30 hours of battery life.

Razer’s newest earbuds are built with console gaming in mind. They can be connected to devices via either 2.4GHz wireless (using the included dongle) or Bluetooth 5.2. That allows them to connect to both modern consoles and mobile devices, giving players more flexibility and lower latency.

The most notable feature is the design, particularly on the PlayStation licensed version. Unlike the normal black Hammerheads, the PlayStation version feature a black-and-white color scheme that pairs with the PS5. The Xbox version seem to be a little closer to the normal Hammerhead design, matching the Xbox Series X’s all-black design. Both versions are powered by Razer Chroma RGB and feature a glowing decal on the side of the earbuds.

The Hammerhead HyperSpeed line features active noise cancellation, as well as a dual environmental noise-canceling microphone. The battery can last up to 30 hours and the earbuds come with their own charging case.

That was just one of the audio announcements Razer had in store during its Razercon stream. It also revealed updated versions of its Kaira Pro headset. The Kaira X is built for the PS5 specifically, while the Kaira HyperSpeed and Pro HyperSpeed are more for multiplatform use. The new line comes with TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers, 30 hours of battery life, and a detachable HyperClear Supercardioid ENC microphone.

Razer is also expanding its popular cat headset with the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Pro. Like the original version, its a pink headset that features distinct cat ears. This version gives users more options though, as the kitty ears can be detached and replaced with bear or bunny ears, which come with the headset.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (April 11-13)
The key art for blue prince.

PlayStation has been quiet for this month while the Nintendo Switch 2 takes up the spotlight, and not in a completely positive way. Game prices, in particular, are a growing concern with the price tags we've seen on some upcoming Switch 2 games. It is inevitable that PlayStation and the rest of the industry will follow suit, but PlayStation Plus is still offering a massive amount of value for one subscription cost. Even though we're between drops of new games to the service, we still have a day-one release that we can't recommend highly enough. Anyone looking to save a bit of cash this weekend by diving into PlayStation Plus before the upcoming PS5 games dominate your wallet should put these games on your download queue.

All PlayStation consoles, ranked
best ps1 games sony ps1

The origins of PlayStation are a direct result of a deal gone bad with Nintendo. To make a long story short, Sony was planning on making a disc-based Nintendo console, but Nintendo backed out of the deal at the last minute and partnered with Phillips. After that betrayal, Sony launched the PS1, and the rest is history. We're now enjoying the best PS5 games, with new and old PlayStation franchises keeping the console popular. But which of Sony's consoles had the greatest impact on the gaming industry? We need to take more into consideration besides great games when ranking a console, and the result is by no means scientific. Based on the cultural impact, reception, and nostalgia, these are all the PlayStation consoles ranked from worst to best.
