For this purpose, the headphones integrate with Razer's HyperSpeed 2.4GHz streaming platform, which enables "lag-free gaming quality" audio. They are compatible with many devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, and others. The headphones can also connect via Bluetooth to devices that do not support Wi-Fi audio streaming.
The charging case includes an adapter that connects to devices via a USB-C port, which also serves as a wireless transmitter. Razer claims users can quickly switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio, which is useful when transitioning from a computer to, say, a smartphone for listening to music.
These headphones feature enhanced ANC compared to the previous generation. The battery lasts 40 hours, with the headphones providing 10 hours per charge, and the case offers an additional four charges.
The case can be charged via a USB-C port, meaning it charges while the transmitter is used for audio streaming. However, the adapter can also operate independently without the charging case. The headphones also support THX spatial audio on computers.
Razer's Hammerhead V3 HyperSpeed gaming headphones are available on the market and cost $130. The almost identically named Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed headphones cost $100 and connect via Bluetooth 5.3 instead of Bluetooth 6.0, with a slightly shorter battery life.
