How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a rugged, long-running neckband built for loud jobsites, mowing and wet outdoor work, choose Hmusic H23Pro; if you need an over-ear gaming headset with a boom mic and tri-mode PC/console connectivity, choose ATTACK SHARK L60. These are two very different tools that happen to share the word "headphones" — one is ear protection you can listen through, the other is a gaming rig you can wear all evening. Below I break down exactly where each one wins, where it stumbles, and which one fits your desk or your job.
• Hmusic H23Pro biggest strength: Three sets of interchangeable ear tips (tri-flange, foam, round) giving three levels of hearing protection from roughly 20dB to 40dB, wrapped in an IPX7 waterproof, dust-resistant neckband with up to 80 hours of music playback.
• Hmusic H23Pro biggest trade-off: It is an in-ear sound-isolation design, not active noise cancellation, and it has no 3.5mm jack — everything runs over Bluetooth 5.4, so a dead battery means silence.
• ATTACK SHARK L60 biggest strength: A genuine over-ear gaming headset with 40mm drivers, a detachable noise-cancelling boom mic, 5.1 surround sound, and three connection modes (2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, 3.5mm wired) for PC, Mac, PS4 and PS5.
• ATTACK SHARK L60 biggest trade-off: It is an open, on-ear/over-ear design with no water or dust rating, a shorter 10-meter wireless range, and it's clearly a desk-and-couch product rather than something you'd take into rain or sawdust.
• Who Hmusic H23Pro is for: Anyone working in noise — mowing, carpentry, workshops, construction, airports — who wants ear protection and music in one device.
• Who ATTACK SHARK L60 is for: Gamers and streamers who want clear voice chat, positional audio, and a wired fallback when they don't want to rely on a battery.
The H23Pro is built around a problem most headphones ignore: protecting your ears while you work. Hmusic ships three different ear tip styles — tri-flange, foam buds and round head tips — in S/M/L sizes, and swapping them changes how much outside noise reaches you, from about 20dB up to 40dB of isolation. That range matters. A tri-flange tip pressed in properly gives you serious attenuation for a mower or a circular saw; a softer round tip is more comfortable for a two-hour hike. You're essentially getting three earplugs in one box, plus a 10mm dynamic driver so the audio is still full-range when you want it.
Who should buy it: tradespeople, DIYers, lawn-care and landscaping folks, warehouse and airport workers, hikers and boaters — anyone who wants hearing protection and audio in a single piece of gear. Who should skip it: if you mainly game at a desk with voice chat, if you hate in-ear tips, or if you need a wired connection as a backup. This is a jobsite-first product, and it says so in its own styling.
ATTACK SHARK L60: Who It's For
The L60 plays a completely different game. It's a white over-ear headset with 40mm dynamic drivers tuned for immersion, and the feature list reads like a gamer's checklist: 5.1 surround sound, a detachable noise-cancelling microphone, memory foam ear pads, and a flexible headband. ATTACK SHARK also keeps the weight down to roughly 230g, which is light for an over-ear headset and the kind of thing you notice at hour three of a session. The detachable mic is a smart touch — pull it off and the L60 becomes a plain pair of wireless over-ears for music or calls.
Connectivity is where it gets genuinely flexible. You get three modes: 2.4GHz wireless through the included receiver, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm wired connection. That 3.5mm jack is the quiet advantage — if the battery runs out mid-raid, you plug in and keep going. It's also what lets the L60 work with a PS4 or PS5 controller, a PC, a Mac, or anything with a headphone port. The 2.4GHz receiver gives you a low-latency link with a 10-meter range, which is fine for a desk setup or a couch across the room but not for wandering a warehouse. Battery life is quoted at 50 hours, and the Bluetooth spec here is older (version 4), so expect the 2.4GHz dongle or the cable to be your primary path rather than Bluetooth.
One thing to be clear about: there's no IP rating, no dust rating, and the enclosure is plastic. This is indoor gear. It's also an on-ear/over-ear open design, so it won't seal out a lawnmower the way an in-ear plug will.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for hearing protection → Hmusic H23Pro. Three tip styles, 20dB to 40dB of isolation. The L60 offers none.
• Best for gaming and voice chat → ATTACK SHARK L60. Detachable noise-cancelling boom mic, 5.1 surround, 40mm drivers.
• Best for battery life → Hmusic H23Pro. 80 hours of music and 50 hours of talk versus 50 hours on the L60.
• Best for wet or dusty environments → Hmusic H23Pro. IPX7 waterproof plus a six-level dust resistance rating; the L60 has no environmental rating at all.
• Best for console and PC flexibility → ATTACK SHARK L60. 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and 3.5mm wired across PC, Mac, PS4 and PS5.
• Best for all-day comfort on a desk → ATTACK SHARK L60. About 230g with memory foam ear pads and a flexible headband.
• Best for wearing around the neck between tasks → Hmusic H23Pro. The ergonomic neckband and magnetic earbuds keep it out of the way.
• Best for dual-device switching → Hmusic H23Pro. Bluetooth 5.4 lets you hop between two paired devices in seconds.
• Best for plug-in-and-keep-going reliability → ATTACK SHARK L60. The 3.5mm jack means a flat battery isn't the end of your session.
If I had to pick one, I'd buy the Hmusic H23Pro — but only because my use case is noisy work, and no amount of gaming polish replaces a 40dB earplug with an IPX7 shell. In my opinion, the H23Pro is the more specialized and more useful device for anyone whose ears are genuinely at risk from engines, mowers or power tools. If you're a gamer who wants surround sound and a proper boom mic, I'd recommend the ATTACK SHARK L60 instead — it's the better tool for that job, and the 3.5mm wired mode gives it a resilience the H23Pro simply doesn't have. They're not really competitors; they're answers to two different questions.
FAQ
I wouldn't plan on it. The L60 has no IP or dust rating, a plastic enclosure, and a 10-meter wireless range. It's built for a desk, a couch or a console setup, not rain, sawdust or a jobsite.
The H23Pro is quoted at 80 hours of music and 50 hours of talk from a 400mAh battery with a 1.5-hour charge. The L60 is quoted at 50 hours. The H23Pro also uses newer Bluetooth 5.4 versus Bluetooth 4 on the L60.
Honestly, neither covers both perfectly. If work noise is the priority, take the H23Pro and accept its in-ear fit and no wired fallback. If gaming and voice chat are the priority, take the L60 and accept that it stays indoors. If you can only own one, decide which half of your day matters more — and check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
