Our Verdict
Drop + THX Panda Wireless
Razer Opus Wireless 2020
The Razer Opus Wireless 2020 are better over-ear headphones than the Drop + THX Panda Wireless. The Razer are better-built, and have a more balanced sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also have an active noise cancelling system that does an outstanding job of blocking out background noise, and you can customize their sound profile using their companion app's EQ presets. However, the Drop can connect with up to two devices at once.
