Our Verdict
Razer Opus Wireless 2020
Razer Opus X Wireless
The Razer Opus X Wireless are the more wallet-friendly sibling of the Razer Opus Wireless 2020, but the original Opus still perform better overall. The Opus are better-built, have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, and they're able to block out significantly more ambient noise around you. However, the Opus X are designed for mobile gaming and have a Gaming Mode, which helps reduce their audio latency on iOS and Android devices.
