Razer Opus

Comfortable design ; Premium look and feel ; Awe-inspiring ANC ; Great sound quality

Standard battery life ; Outdated Bluetooth tech

Balanced sound signature with plenty of high-frequency clarity ; Solid noise cancellation for lower frequencies ; Comfortable design

Relatively weak bass ; Noise cancellation does little for higher frequencies

As long as you don't expect big bass, the Razer Opus headphones offer active noise cancellations and crisp, clear sound at a reasonable price.

Good sound quality ; Automatically pauses when you take them off ; Comfortable ; USB-C charging

Can’t support simultaneous Bluetooth connections ; ANC lets in a little too much noise

Razer’s new Opus over-ear, wireless headphones do a lot to justify their $200 price tag. They have noise cancellation, USB-C charging, satisfactory battery life, and a comfortable fit, though they don’t punch far above their price.

Bright, punchy sound ; Comfortable and basic design ; Easy to use controls

Subpar ANC performance ; Very limited feature set ; Signal noise is present

Foldable design ; Very comfortable ear cushions ; Comes with a nice carrying case ; Sounds good and Active Noise Cancellation works well ; Great battery life (up to 25 hrs)
