The Sonos Ace have great features, Noise Canceling, Awareness Mode, Quick Switch with Sonos Arc, and other high-end features! But, is it enough to justify the price! These are the hot topic in the Headphones world currently over the likes of Sony XM5, Apple Airpod Pro MAX, etc. But, should those be the benchmarks? Let's discuss the Sonos Ace Headphones!!

First time I've had the opportunity to watch one of your reviews & I'm now happily subscribed...I personally enjoyed the points you concentrated on & your delivery on the subject kept me interested in watching the entire video... great work!

[dinis]

Bumped into this video by chance. Did not disappoint! Subscribed.
Great content!

So these can get louder on the iPhone. Toggle off “sound check” in the music app settings. Then toggle on “Reduce Loud Audio” in the “Sound & Haptics” under “Headphone Safety” and set it to “100 decibels” or whatever you feel is right for you. These two tweaks made a huuuge difference for me.

I wore these for 13 hrs comfortably, I slept with them comfortably!! They’re one of the best headphones 🎧 I ever bought

You don’t need to return the old product to get the 15% discount. You can buy these headphones with this 15% discount if you have any of the older sonos speakers - it makes the price much more appealing.

Great review! Been looking into these as a Sonos guy as well. Thanks for the video.

I know a couple other people have mentioned it being unsafe to drive with headphones on, but I just wanted to add that it is actually illegal. One earphone can be used for a call, but one ear must be unblocked. 2 buds in or a set of headphones on is illegal to wear while driving. You can be fined and penalized for it. Also, if you are in an accident, you can be sued for negligence. Id take a look into it just for your own knowledge. Dont want you getting into trouble for that.

Bought them with Sonos 15% discount at launch. Price is totally fine then for what they deliver. Even the asking price. After a week I can confirm, the only thing that might be annoying for someone is the max volume level. For me it’s still fine. Can live with the maximum they deliver. Sound remains clear and I do like the bass a lot. Powerful and dry but also very clean and never disturbing. The comfort is awesome. The buttons work fine.
Btw. that awkward ear cup folding when around the neck, my Bose QC Ultra fold the same way, only upwards.

Great review. I'm subscribing to you because you talk like a true user. 👍

LR balance is an accessibility addition. Some people have hearing imbalances. But i agree it needs more EQ controls.

The headband reminds me of the Surface headphones which had a bad problem with the separation of the padding cover from the plastic topper. I've had two surfaces with this problem. I'm going to wait till these have been out for a year and see how well they hold up.

Give the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e a try. Brilliant headphones!

[sashichintala]

One of the best reviews so far. Thank you! I completely agree with you on the sound, its good but not great for this price point.
I like Noise cancelling specially when working from home with two kids and it helps me focus.

Tried my best to keep it but for the price it's not worth and I am returning them.

Comfort-Best
Fit-Good
Controls-Best
Sound quality-Good but not great
Bass-No punchy bass even with bass set to 10
Noice Cancelling -Best
Mic quality-not good, I have recordings and its very low compared to other voices, my team could hardly hear (I work from home)
App - worst with only two options bass and treble for the price

Thanks for the video review. I got a pair in black with the 15% discount so about $400 with sales tax. The best sound I’ve heard for music for ANC. I’ve had the 2 latest versions on Bose, Sony’s latest, Focal Bathys and B&W PX7. Will be testing noise canceling on an upcoming flight. So far so good. I love everything Sons except their latest app upgrade which is a disaster. They have to fix fast. Rock on!

[bloodyhellmatee]

Thanks for the review! I got some recently, and I’m really enjoying them a lot, I have some xm5 which sound amazing (better than the Sonos aces) but I find them so uncomfortable especially working with them on for 8-9 hours day, and kinda got tired of it, so I thought I’d try the Sonos’s and I’m at the stage now where I’m okay with giving up sound quality for comfortability, well especially for long periods of time.

[MARIOSONGZ]

Great video, as always, brother. Keep up the good work.

[davidb]

lol love it, can’t hear the kids in the car! Very mature review unlike most, my use is generally for media and atmos contenct through tablet, and for that they’re are best in class

[carlkidd]

I bought the Red Dragon K668 and the mouse you featured in that 8 month old video recently. Love the mouse, keyboard keys are too clicky and overly sensitive. The Tab, shift and other colored keys have a softer "thunk" which I do like. Not sure if there is a mod that would soften the clicks/make the keys less sensitive. When I rest my fingers on the keyboard during gaming, they activate.

[vpookiej]

I really love mine. Such a clear sound!

[Beer_Dad]

Please, please don't wear ANC headphones with ANC enabled when you are driving! You won't hear emergency vehicles approaching, you won't hear motorcycles, and generally your awareness will be reduced for the minor inconvenience of having to listen to the kids. It's not worth the extra risk it puts to you and other road users.

The balance thing I can understand, my friend can hear only from one ear, he’s hearing impaired, so he’d like to have mono output (both channels) on one ear only.
