Our Verdict

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless

Razer Opus Wireless 2020

The Razer Opus Wireless 2020 are slightly better over-ear headphones than the Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless. The Razer feel a bit more stable on the head. They also have longer battery life and a more accurate sound profile out-of-the-box, though they lack quite a bit of bass. While the ANC on the Opus is still outstanding, the Sony performs a bit better and are more comfortable. You also get more customization options in Sony's companion app. While some people may prefer the Sony's touch-sensitive controls, they don't work properly in the cold, so those who live in colder climates may prefer the Razer's physical buttons.
