Today weve got a pair of Razer Opus wireless headphones in the house, rolling with THX certification, hybrid ANC, and a button that allows switching between modes. Thats an oversimplifcation of whats going on here its radical. When youre wearing these headphones, youve got the option to switch between active noise cancellation and external sound enhancement, using four dedicated ANC microphones to make it happen.
These headphones dont look or feel like your average gamer headphones. Theyre not brightly colored, theyre not explosively toned, there arent any LED lights. Theyre made to be a perfect blend of high-quality industrial design and high-quality sound delivery, in a package thats uniquely Razer.
Razer Opus work with plush leatherette foam ear cushions and cushioning on its headband and they are, indeed, comfortable right out of the box. They fold down to fit in a carrying case thats included in the box, and the whole package is quite low-key classy.

Right out the gate these headphones feel like a surprisingly high-quality blending of all the good bits of past Razer-released headphones, and the pricing seems to be right on the mark.
