Discover how good sound can be with the Razer Opus

“Even with our many years of experience in creating headsets for one of the most demanding audiences in the world, the design of the Razer Opus required us to rethink every detail,” said Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit. “With the Razer Opus headphones, we are able to deliver a listening experience that will satisfy even the most discerning audiophile, in any environment.”

Designed for comfort and sporting a very big battery, with each battery charge lasts up to 25 hours with ANC on, allowing users to enjoy a continued, uninterrupted high-quality sound experience while in a noisy environment.

The ANC, or active noise cancellation is important, because it strips away the excess noise from around you and lets you enjoy whatever you have playing. The Razer Opus is using a Hybrid system and in a hybrid setup, active noise cancellation comes from both an external and internal microphone, combining the techniques used in feedforward and feedback systems. Due to the advanced nature of hybrid ANC, the technology usually costs twice as much as the others, but in exchange, it provides the best performance.

The other big addition is that this is THX certified, which means that hundreds of tests were carried out, to ensure that the right range of sounds could be heard and they were always crisp and clear.

“Through close collaboration with the Opus design team, we were able to provide input throughout the development process," said Peter Vasay, Head of THX Certification. "The result is a high-performance wireless headphone that delivers a rich, balanced soundstage, clear vocals, and deep impactful bass optimised for music, games, and movies.”
