Razer announced the Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed wireless gaming earbuds for Xbox and PlayStation on July 8, 2026. The earbuds are designed for competitive console gaming and everyday use, featuring Razer's HyperSpeed Wireless technology for ultra-low latency 2.4GHz audio and Bluetooth 5.3 for mobile devices. The HyperSpeed Case functions as a wireless receiver and charger, connecting to consoles or mobile devices via USB to enable the dedicated 2.4GHz connection. The earbuds offer up to 10 hours of battery life on their own, with an additional 25 hours from the charging case for a total of 35 hours. They include IPX4 splash resistance, touch controls, and support for spatial audio: Windows Sonic on Xbox, 3D Audio on PlayStation, and THX Spatial Audio on PC. The suggested retail price is $99.99 USD. Both the Xbox and PlayStation versions are available now at Razer.com and select retailers.
The HyperSpeed Case at the center of the Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed design acts as both a wireless receiver and a charging station. When connected to a console or mobile device via USB, it establishes a dedicated 2.4GHz link for the earbuds, bypassing Bluetooth latency for gaming while still allowing Bluetooth 5.3 for music and calls. Razer calls this SmartSwitch Dual Wireless, letting users switch between the two connections seamlessly.
Battery life is split between the earbuds (10 hours) and the case (25 additional hours), for a combined 35 hours of use. The earbuds are rated IPX4 for splash resistance and feature touch controls for playback and calls. Spatial audio support varies by platform: Windows Sonic on Xbox, 3D Audio on PlayStation, and THX Spatial Audio on PC. The product is sold in two distinct SKUs, one for Xbox and one for PlayStation, each priced at $99.99. Both are available immediately at Razer.com and through select retail partners.
