Razer introduces the Opus ANC Headphones

Razer has been producing gaming headsets for years, and now the company has announced its latest addition to its audio range – the Razer Opus. These new headphones feature THX Certified audio and advanced hybrid Active Noise Cancellation.

Most people will agree that music is best enjoyed when there is no background noise. In an effort to remove the noise, Razer decided to equip its Razer Opus with an Advanced Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) system. The ANC system uses four dedicated microphones that are designed to accurately remove external sound, while the Opus also has two microphones that are used for voice chat.

Razer Opus’ comes with leatherette ear cushions and the headphones weigh in at just 245 grams. Each battery charge lasts up to 25 hours with ANC on, and the headphones comes with a Quick Attention Mode that makes it possible to hear the outside world when needed. As for connectivity, the Opus can use either Bluetooth 4.2 or a 3.5mm cable.

“Through close collaboration with the Opus design team, we were able to provide input throughout the development process,” said Peter Vasay, Head of THX Certification. “The result is a high-performance wireless headphone that delivers a rich, balanced soundstage, clear vocals, and deep impactful bass optimized for music, games, and movies.”

Razer Opus is already available directly from Razer, with a price tag of £199.99.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
