Razer Opus X
NOT LONG AGO, we had Razer’s Opus headset in for review and we were impressed with the company's first attempt at breaking into the lifestyle audio market. The ANC headset was a premium pair for a first-time effort, but it did come with a hefty $200 price tag. For Razer's second release, the price has been slashed in half for this ‘lite’ version, making the new Razer Opus X potentially more inviting. So, what has been sacrificed to make this cut and is it a more sensible purchase?
There is one immediate change that you'll probably have noticed, a baby pink color scheme, though Razer calls it quartz. The other options are green, which is equally as bold, or they also come in mercury which is probably the most sensible selection. Although the original pair had a special BAPE edition, the only other color choice was black, so a bit of a change here. Other than the vibrant new colors, the new Opus X is not THX-certified, so it ditches the logo on the earcups. Also, the Razer logo itself is now the same color as the body, giving a more minimal look to the design.
