Amazon has some of the best AirPods discounts happening right now for Prime Day, and while you can use AirPods for gaming, they aren't specifically designed as gaming earbuds. If you want some decent sound quality that was built specifically for gaming, you're most likely going to want to pick up one of the best AirPods alternatives instead.
One such pair of earbuds is the Razer Hammer HyperSpeed Wireless, which comes in a variety of different options compatible with different devices. Here are the discounts happening right now:
Razer Hammerhead HyperSpeed Wireless Gaming Earbuds - 20% Off
These wireless earbuds from Razer are compatible with both Xbox and PS5 depending on which pair you buy, so you won't need to pick up a separate Bluetooth adapter to connect them to your console. They are also designed with those specific consoles in mind and are made to match other accessories you may own. We've actually had the chance to review these earbuds ourselves, and our own Matthew Adler was able to test them out. Here's what a quick summary of what we thought in our review:
How Do They Compare to AirPods?
If you're trying to decide between AirPods and a pair of dedicated gaming earbuds like the Hammerhead HyperSpeed models above, there are a few things you should consider. If you're planning on using your earbuds for more casual use, AirPods are overall better suited for the job. This is especially true of the AirPods Pro, which are some of the overall best wireless earbuds available. But if you're planning on only using them with your console, then that's where the Razer option shines.
