Razer Opus

Great ANC-enabled headphones that look stylish and sound impressive.

The Razer Opus is a mid-range active noise-cancelling headphone that nails sound and comfort, but falls short in terms of noise cancellation and overall feature set.

These aren’t Razer’s magnum opus. But as its first set of noise-canceling headphones aimed at persuading people away from the Sonys and Boses of the world, the Opus is a solid, feature-loaded start.

Razer may be better known for its gaming gear, but the company is no slouch in the audio department. The Opus noise-cancelling headphones sound amazing thanks to THX-certified sound quality and handy EQ presets. Plus, the ANC does a solid job of blocking out would-be distractions. Top that off with a lightweight and comfy fit and you’ve got a great option for $200.

The Razer Opus is Razer's first foray into a non-gaming, noise-cancelling headset, and it pays off better than we could have expected. Design, sound quality and battery life are all there. Our only real complaint is the small size of the ear cups – and even that isn't really a bad thing.

Razer's understated design hides a powerhouse of audio quality at a price point few are going to be able to compete with.

For $200, the audio quality, features, and battery life make the Razer Opus a highly competitive over-the-ear headset with active-noise-canceling ability. They're also extremely comfortable.

With great comfort, THX-certified sound, solid ANC, and excellent battery life, Razer’s first lifestyle wireless headset offers pretty decent value. So much so, in fact, that it earns a Top Pick of 2020 Award here at Techaeris.
