Sonos Ace

“You get 30 hours of battery life compared to 20 hours on the AirPods Max and in my experience the Ace's standby battery drain is much better, my AirPods Max just constantly seem to be out of juice.”

“The Sonos Ace offers 30 hours of playback time with Bluetooth and ANC turned on. In comparison, the XM5s also offer 30 hours, but the Bose quiet comfort ultra headphones offers 24 hours.”

“Sonos Ace wins on battery life without even trying. It can be used with active noise cancellation turned on for 30 hours uninterrupted, compared to only 20 hours on the AirPods Max.”

“So, judging these purely as wireless noise-cancelling headphones, I think they hold their own against the competition. If you're already in that Sonos ecosystem, these are a no-brainer.”

“Noise cancellation acts very well. I sat outside, there was a bunch of noise going on, my kids were in the pool. It does a great job cancelling out all that noise.”

“World class ANC is a bold claim from Sonos especially with the competition out there. But I have to say that the noise cancellation is seriously impressive.”

“if you're already a Sonos home theater user and you think you might want to be able to use your headphones with that system, these are a great option.”

“the only two unique selling points it has is that you can when you already got Sonos speakers like switch from the TV sound bar directly to them”

“you can swap audio directly from your TV to the Sonos Ace headphones to make it that much better and not interrupt maybe your partner”

“Apple's AirPods Max do this feature so well that sometimes you forget you're wearing headphones in the first place. And now Sonos has come the closest to matching that same sensation.”

“On the other hand, the Sonos Ace has a more natural sounding transparency mode that lets some surrounding noise in”

“thanks to the minimal design they jump right off the screen immediately giving an elevated premium headset appearance”

“the implementation Sonos has is excellent. These are really, really good headphones”

“they look great they look really really premium”

“these are easily the most comfortable to wear headphones that I have worn for this long”

“I could wear them for hours without any discomfort or ear heat at room temperature.”

“The memory foam ear cups and plush headband were extremely comfortable.”

“The buttons on the headphones are really nicely done”

“The one standout feature that the Sonos Ace has over the QC Ultra is true Dolby Atmos support for that spatial audio”

“It's bloody fantastic. It is such a great sound that comes out of these headsets.”

“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.”
