Razer is one of the biggest names in the world for high-end gaming hardware. However, that’s certainly not the limit of their product range, having created everything from a toaster to mobile phones. Of course, today I’ll be focusing on their latest headphones, which promise class-leading performance in more ways than one. The Razer Opus are their flagship headphones, so they do come in at a premium price. Of course, Razer is no stranger to some more expensive hardware, and that’s still around the same price as their Nari Ultimate headset, BlackShark V2 Pro and the Kaira Pro.
The Razer Opus may cost about the same as other Razer headsets, but that’s where the similarities end. These are more purpose-built audiophile headphones rather than just purely a gaming headset. They’re THX Certified, promising highly accurate audio and low distortion. There’s also active noise cancellation (ANC) technology, which will help remove a lot of ambient noise, blocking out traffic, the sound of the bus/train/plane you’re on, general background noises, etc. Of course, it’s not all just fancy features, as the underlying hardware is pretty important too. You’ll find a pair of 40mm dynamic drivers, running at 12 Ω (1 kHz) and with a frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz. There’s also an omnidirectional MEMS microphone, which runs at -38 dBV/Pa (1 kHz). You can check out the in-depth specifications here.
