HAMMER Splendor 2 Review: 50-Hour Bluetooth 6.0 Neckband, What HAMMER Does and Doesn’t Tell You

The HAMMER Splendor 2 is a budget Bluetooth 6.0 neckband with a claimed 50-hour battery, ENC and 10mm drivers. We explain what the official specs confirm, which listing details are missing or inconsistent, and who should buy it.

The HAMMER Splendor 2 is a budget Bluetooth neckband from the Panipat-based brand HAMMER, and on paper its headline features are Bluetooth 6.0, a claimed 50 hours of playtime, ENC for calls, 10mm drivers and Type-C charging. It is aimed at commuters, students and office users who want long battery life and a neckband that hangs around the neck when not in use. The variant linked here is the Black model, which is also the only colour shown on HAMMER’s own store.

Our short verdict: the Splendor 2 looks like a sensible long-battery neckband for calls and everyday music, but HAMMER publishes very little detail. Battery capacity, charging time, water resistance, range, weight and warranty are not on the official page, and some details on the Amazon.in listing are clearly inconsistent, so treat it as a basic neckband rather than a fully specified one.

A note on method: this article is based on HAMMER’s official product page, the Amazon.in listing data and the Bluetooth SIG’s published specification overview, checked on 17 October 2026. We did not test the Splendor 2 hands-on, and we could not find independent reviews of it, so there are no sound or battery test results here.

Quick verdict

Best for: commuters and work-from-home users who want long claimed battery life and clearer calls from a low-cost neckband
Skip if: you need a published water-resistance rating, active noise cancellation, or verified multipoint connection
Key strengths: 50-hour claimed playtime, ENC for calls, Bluetooth 6.0, 10mm drivers, Type-C charging, 55ms low-latency claim
Key limitations: no published battery capacity, charging time, IP rating, range or weight on the official page, some listing details are inconsistent, 6-month warranty per the listing

What the official page confirms, and what it does not

HAMMER’s product page for the Splendor 2 is brief. It confirms Bluetooth 6.0, the 50-hour playtime claim, ENC, 10mm drivers, a Type-C port and a lightweight design, and it shows Black as the only colour. It also describes “faster pairing” and “stable signal strength” without numbers.

Almost everything else comes from the Amazon.in listing, which is seller-provided. According to the listing, the Splendor 2 supports Type-C fast charging, offers 55ms low latency, has volume control buttons and carries a 6-month warranty. A few listing fields do not add up: the model number is given as HTWS010 and the item type as “Earbuds”, although this is a neckband, and the frequency response is written as “20000 KHz”, which is not a meaningful figure for earphones. These look like data-entry errors, so we have not relied on them.

Missing entirely are battery capacity (mAh), charging time, Bluetooth range, weight, an IP rating, codec support, multipoint (dual device) support and whether the earbuds are magnetic. If any of these matter to you, ask the seller through the listing’s questions section before buying.

Battery: what a 50-hour claim really means

Fifty hours is the Splendor 2’s main selling point. For a commuter who listens two to three hours a day, that would mean charging roughly once every two to three weeks if the figure holds. But HAMMER does not say at what volume or under which conditions the 50 hours was measured, and playtime claims are often based on music playback at moderate volume. Calls, higher volume and a weak connection typically drain a battery faster, so real-world numbers will usually be lower.

The listing describes Type-C fast charging but gives no charging time and no “X minutes for Y hours” figure, so there is no way to judge how quick it actually is. The practical upside of Type-C is simpler: you can charge it with the same cable as most current phones.

Bluetooth 6.0: useful, but not a sound upgrade

The Bluetooth SIG’s feature overview for Core Specification 6.0 lists additions such as Channel Sounding (secure distance measurement between devices), decision-based advertising filtering, monitoring of advertisers, an isochronous adaptation layer enhancement aimed at lower latency and better reliability, and negotiable frame spacing. The overview does not present audio-quality improvements as part of version 6.0.

In other words, Bluetooth 6.0 on the box does not mean better sound by itself. Sound quality depends far more on the drivers, tuning and the codec in use, and HAMMER does not list codec support. New Bluetooth features also generally need support on both the earphones and your phone. The listing’s claims of faster pairing, stable connection and low power use are HAMMER’s own statements, not independently verified.

Calls and ENC

ENC, or environmental noise cancellation, is a microphone feature: it tries to reduce background noise so the person you are talking to hears your voice more clearly. It does not block outside sound for you, which is what active noise cancellation (ANC) does. The Splendor 2 has ENC but not ANC. HAMMER does not say how many microphones are used, and we found no independent call-quality tests, so expect help with steady background noise rather than miracles on a busy road.

If you want ANC in a neckband, our OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC review covers an option that adds it.

Latency, gaming and video

The listing claims 55ms latency. Latency is the delay between something happening on screen and the sound reaching your ears, and lower numbers help lip-sync in videos and timing in mobile games. HAMMER does not say whether 55ms needs a dedicated game mode or how it was measured, and actual delay also depends on your phone and app. Treat 55ms as a brand claim: it suggests HAMMER tuned for low delay, but competitive gamers who need dependable low latency should still consider a wired earphone.

Design and comfort

Neckbands keep the battery and controls in the band that sits around your neck, so the earpieces themselves can be small and light. HAMMER and the listing both call the Splendor 2 lightweight, but no weight is published. The listing mentions push-button controls including volume, which are easier to use without looking than touch controls. There is no water or sweat resistance rating, so avoid heavy workouts and rain.

Should you buy it?

Who should buy the Splendor 2 — Who the Splendor 2 suits, summarised from this review.

Buy it if: you want a low-fuss neckband with a long claimed battery for commuting, calls and casual music
Buy it if: you prefer physical buttons and a Type-C port
Skip it if: you need an IP rating for the gym or outdoor runs
Skip it if: you want ANC, published codec support or verified dual-device pairing
Skip it if: you want a longer warranty than the 6 months stated on the listing

Alternatives worth comparing

Zebronics Zeb Yoga 9: a more fully specified neckband. Zebronics lists Bluetooth 5.2, up to 45 hours of playtime at 50% volume, a 1.5-hour charging time, 10mm drivers, ENC, magnetic earpieces, dual pairing, a low-latency gaming mode, Type-C charging, splash resistance (no IP rating) and a 30 g net weight. It has an older Bluetooth version but publishes far more detail.

HAMMER Splendor (first generation): HAMMER’s earlier model lists Bluetooth 5.2, up to 18 hours of playtime and magnetic earbuds. The Splendor 2’s main claimed gains are battery life, Bluetooth 6.0 and ENC.

Ambrane Stringz 05: if battery anxiety is the real problem, a wired Type-C earphone removes it entirely. Ambrane lists 10mm drivers, an in-line mic, a single control button and a 1.2m cable, though it ties up your phone’s charging port.

Buying checklist

Confirm the listing shows the Black Splendor 2, since this link is for that variant
Check whether a charging cable is included, as the listing names only a user manual under box contents
Note the 6-month warranty stated on the listing (HAMMER’s product page does not state one) and keep your invoice
Ask the seller about multipoint and magnetic earbuds if you need them, since neither is confirmed on the official page
Pair it with your phone and test calls and playback within the return window

See the HAMMER Splendor 2 in Black on Amazon.in and check the box contents and seller details before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the HAMMER Splendor 2 battery last?

HAMMER claims up to 50 hours of playtime but does not state the test volume or conditions. Real-world battery life is usually lower with calls and higher volume.

Does the Splendor 2 have active noise cancellation?

No. It has ENC, which reduces background noise for the person on the other end of a call. It does not block outside noise for you.

Is the HAMMER Splendor 2 waterproof?

Neither HAMMER’s page nor the Amazon.in listing gives an IP rating, so do not rely on it for sweat-heavy workouts or rain.

Can the Splendor 2 connect to two devices at once?

Dual pairing is not listed on HAMMER’s page or in the Amazon.in specifications, so do not assume it works.

Is it good for gaming?

The listing claims 55ms latency, which suggests HAMMER tuned it for low delay, but no independent test confirms it. For competitive gaming, wired earphones remain the safer choice.

Conclusion

The HAMMER Splendor 2 offers the features most budget neckband buyers look for: a long claimed battery, ENC for calls, Bluetooth 6.0 and Type-C charging. The catch is thin official documentation and a few inconsistent listing details, so the 50-hour figure and the 55ms latency remain brand claims. If you value published detail, the Zebronics Zeb Yoga 9 is worth comparing.
