Sonos Ace vs Bose QuietComfort Ultra

“These have the ability to fold in which makes the case significantly more compact than a lot of the competition which is a real win if you travel with headphones regularly.”

“I still love how compact this is, which is perfect for tossing into your carry on or clipping onto a backpack strap if you're rushing through an airport.”

“The most notable difference design wise is the QC Ultra's dual hinge that allows it to fold down a little bit more compact compared to the Ace,”

“obviously, if portability is your top priority and if you want something that you can take everywhere, you should get the ultra earbuds,”

“And again this is a slightly chunkier box to carry around if you're traveling compared to the Bose one.”

“The Sonos Ace is flat and fits easily into your bag. No bulk, no tangles.”

“The travel case, very simple, very standard, because this allows you to take your headphones with you anywhere you go in a nice protective manner.”

“The headphones have just the right amount of clamping force so they feel fairly secure without any discomfort. The padding is quite plush and soft and the overall cup size just fits around my ears without pressing.”

“these are the only buds that I can throw into my ears with a 100% battery, drain them down all the way to 0% then take them out after like hours and hours and have zero discomfort or pressure points.”

“Now the QC Ultra is our original comfort King so it has a very similar design actually if you look at the headband and how the material and the cushioning basically encompasses the entire headband.”

“verdict on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds second gen for runners like these are outstanding headphones they are a lot better on the run than I thought they're going to be in terms of fit”

“Now Sonos say that they have a mechanism in the ear cup that adjusts to equalize pressure and create a better acoustic seal. I have to say, these are probably the best fitting headphones that I've tried.”

“the first thing that I noticed was how comfortable they are. I mean, they are not a big ear cup by any shape by any shape form or whatever the imagination, but they encompassed my ears quite nicely.”

“the ear cushions have a plush memory foam and vegan leather finish... they really are quite comfortable. I had them on for a while during a flight recently and they were absolutely fine.”

“Now those three combined, their lights, they don't fall off my heads, they sound great and ANC is incredible, those three are the reasons why I am not returning the Sonos Ace after all.”

“Level up your content with immersive audio and our class leading noise cancellation. So this mode has both spatial audio... with active noise cancellation turned on. This is the most realistic sounding audio you can get”

“Immediately the QC Ultra has a much more detailed and open sound with a fuller representation of the entire frequency response... making the Sonos Ace sound stage feel rather narrow and compressed.”

“I got to say the audio quality is not depressingly great. Bose is known for being really excellent when it comes to overall audio quality and these earbuds are no different.”

“frequency sweeps show that the QC Ultras are a lot more V-shapeded, you're going to get more oomph and gravity in your base, and sound staging is a little more wide”

“The Sonos Ace, on the other hand, aims for a true audio file experience. Sound is incredibly neutral and natural. The bass is tight and accurate, and the mids are clear and detailed. You can hear every nuance in a track, which makes them…”

“If you have a Sonos you know system or multiple soundbars in your house grab these they really complement that whole setup really really well. These are also great for indoor use. If you want indoor headphones or headphones you're going to…”

“I do think these headphones sound good. Now they are not mind-blowing world-beating or anything crazy like that... but they have a nice full sound with great base all the way through strong highs... but you can brighten them right up by…”

“Whoa, this bass is really. It's like the kick drum is like this big, just the beat on just slapping it and they got no pillows in there. I think bass people will like these. I think if you like Sonos sounds, you'll probably like these.”
