Last year, Razer branched out into the lifestyle category with the Razer Opus wireless headset with ANC and THX. It was a great first outing for the company, drawing from years of audio experience. Today, Razer announced that a more affordable wireless ANC headset has joined its lineup: the Razer Opus X, which is now available in three vibrant colours.

With tuned 40mm drivers, the Opus X captures the best of both worlds with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Bluetooth 5.0, two built-in microphones, and a 60ms low latency Gaming Mode for mobile gaming. Bluetooth 5.0 offers greater stability and range while in use, and the Opus X offers up to 40 hours of battery life (30 hours with ANC enabled) for extended listening.
“The Opus X sounds as good as it looks, with tuned 40mm drivers delivering a rich, immersive soundscape, bringing games to life with punchy bass and crisp mids and highs. Perfect for music and movies too, users can enjoy uninterrupted, immersive audio as the Opus X ANC technology neutralizes unwanted external sounds, with a Quick Attention Mode for when users want to hear their surroundings.”
