Razer Expands In-Ear Hammerhead V2 Line with Bluetooth and iOS Lightning Models

Razer has added two more options for their in-ear Hammerhead gaming audio series including a Bluetooth 4.1 option as well as a Lightning Connector version for the latest Apple devices.

The Razer Hammerhead BT features the Qualcomm aptX codec for low-latency, high-quality audio that lasts up to eight hours on a single charge. It can be paired easily with any Android or iOS device, allowing users to take calls while listening and adjust volume, pause or hang-up the call via the in-line remote.

The neck band can also be secured further with a magnetic clip that can attach to the listener’s shirt when engaged in activity. All while the 10mm driver inside each side delivers bigger sound with greater range than the industry standard 6mm in-ear drivers.
