How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want marathon battery life and wireless freedom for music, travel and calls, choose Cleer Enduro 100; if you need a light wired headset with positional gaming audio and a boom mic, choose Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER.
• Cleer Enduro 100 — biggest strength: up to 100 hours of playback on one charge, with a 10-minute quick charge giving you 12 hours, plus wireless Bluetooth 5.0 freedom.
• Cleer Enduro 100 — biggest trade-off: it's a wireless music-first headphone, so there's no boom mic and no gaming-oriented surround software; it relies on sound isolation rather than active noise cancellation.
• Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER — biggest strength: a 230 g ultralight wired over-ear with 40 mm drivers, 7.1 surround sound software and a flexible cardioid boom mic for clear voice chat.
• Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER — biggest trade-off: it's wired over a 3.5 mm jack, so you're tethered to your device and dependent on it for power.
• Pick Cleer Enduro 100 if you want one headphone for commuting, flights, work and long listening sessions.
• Pick Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER if you're a PC or console player who wants low-weight comfort and a dedicated mic for voice chat.
The Cleer Enduro 100 is built around one idea: never think about charging. Cleer rates it at up to 100 hours of playback, and a 10-minute quick charge buys you 12 hours — enough for a full day of commuting or a long flight when you forgot to plug in the night before. A full charge takes about 3 hours. In my opinion, that single spec is why most people should look at this headphone first: it removes the daily charging ritual that wireless headphones usually demand.
Sound is handled by a 40 mm patented ironless dynamic driver, tuned for bold, articulate output with deep bass and low distortion. Cleer claims Hi-Res capability, and the frequency range backs that up on paper: 20 Hz – 40 kHz over the 3.5 mm line-in, and 20 Hz – 20 kHz over Bluetooth. So you get a wired option for higher-resolution sources and a wireless one for everyday use. Bluetooth 5.0 with a rated range up to 100 meters keeps the connection stable around the house, and the dual-mic setup is aimed at clear calls rather than gaming chat.
Who should buy it: commuters, travelers, remote workers, students and anyone who listens to music, podcasts and audiobooks for hours and hates charging cables. Who should skip it: competitive gamers who need a boom mic and software-driven positional audio, and anyone who wants active noise cancellation — the Enduro 100 uses passive sound isolation instead.
Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER: Who It's For
The Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER (Kraken X Lite) takes the opposite approach. It's a wired 3.5 mm over-ear headset weighing 230 g, which is genuinely light for something with a boom mic attached. Razer's pitch is that you forget you're wearing a headset during long sessions, and the weight figure supports that idea.
The audio design is gaming-first: custom 40 mm dynamic drivers with a 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz range, 32 ohm impedance and 60 dB sensitivity. That impedance figure matters — 32 ohms is easy to drive, so a controller, laptop or phone jack can power it without a separate amp. Razer pairs the drivers with 7.1 surround sound software so you can place directional audio, like footsteps or gunfire, around you. If you play shooters or stealth games, that positional cue is the whole point.
The microphone is flexible and uses a cardioid pattern, which focuses pickup on your mouth and suppresses noise from the sides and behind you — a sensible design for a room with a fan, a keyboard or other people in it. Razer also puts the mic mute button and volume slider on the underside of the left earcup, so you're not hunting through software mid-match. The sheet lists active noise cancellation as the noise-control method, though on a wired 3.5 mm headset you should treat that as a spec-sheet label rather than a promise of premium ANC performance.
Who should buy it: PC, console and mobile gamers who want a light headset with a real boom mic and positional audio, and who are fine staying plugged in. Who should skip it: anyone who wants wireless freedom, long battery life, or a headphone for commuting and travel — a wired 3.5 mm headset isn't the tool for a subway commute or a flight.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for wireless freedom → Cleer Enduro 100. Bluetooth 5.0 with a rated range up to 100 meters.
• Best for gaming voice chat → Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER. Flexible cardioid boom mic with an on-cable mute and volume slider.
• Best for positional game audio → Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER. 7.1 surround sound software with 40 mm drivers.
• Best for long-wear comfort → Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER on weight (230 g), Cleer Enduro 100 on cushioning. Razer is lighter; Cleer leans on plush earpads and a flexible headband for hours-long listening.
• Best for flights, trains and commuting → Cleer Enduro 100. Folding design, no cable, and passive sound isolation.
• Best for plug-and-play across devices → Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER. A 3.5 mm jack plus a splitter works with consoles, controllers and laptops with no pairing.
• Best for wired high-resolution listening → Cleer Enduro 100. The 3.5 mm line-in reaches 20 Hz – 40 kHz, well beyond the 20 kHz Bluetooth ceiling.
If you can only buy one, I'd buy the Cleer Enduro 100 for most people. It covers music, calls, travel and work in a single wireless package, and the battery life means you'll rarely think about charging — a genuinely rare thing in over-ear headphones. I'd only steer you to the Razer AUDIO GAMING RAZER if gaming is your main job for a headset: the boom mic, the 7.1 software and the 230 g frame are exactly what a long multiplayer session wants. Different tools, different jobs — pick the one that matches your desk, not the spec sheet.
FAQ
You can, since it runs on a standard 3.5 mm jack, but it's a wired headset built around game chat. There's no Bluetooth, so you're tethered, and a boom mic is awkward on a train or in an office.
Yes. Cleer lists a dual-mic setup tuned for clear calls, and the left-earcup buttons handle call control alongside volume, playback and voice assistant access.
