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.

If you want impressive sound and a great feature set, there aren’t a lot of consumer-level over-ear headphones out there to choose from outside of what Bose, Sony and Beats roll out, and even fewer under $300. But, Razer didn’t just create another nameless alternative here. The Razer Opus Wireless ANC Headset actually gives the best of them a good run for their money, with its warm, well-balanced sound, wide soundstage, great noise-cancellation, a few bells and whistles, and very minor flaws. And at only $199.99, it might just be the best value noise-cancelling headphones right now.

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 not the first audio brand you think of for a pair of ANC wireless headphones, but the Opus are surprisingly capable, offering users solid noise cancellation and decent audio quality.
