Exactly what I needed. This channel is legendary for wireless earbuds and headphones. Thanks so much

I bought the somos ace on launch and they are pretty good comfortable and balanced sound

[Underdog_Chronicles-su]

Sonos Ace: It's versatile, comfortable, and has solid noise-canceling and mic quality, but slightly lacks in bass.

Bose QC Ultra: Better sound, more bass, and better overall noise canceling.

Sony XM5: Most comfortable with the best soundstage and customization.

AirPods Max: Great for Apple users but less flexible.

Conclusion: Sonos Ace is a strong contender, but Bose QC Ultra is the real winner for bass lovers.

Great review Aaron - would love to see the Senn M4 compared here too. AND - your local guys, Creative, have just announced the Zen Hybrid pro with spatial audio, ANC/transparency, EQ app all for about $100...would love your comments on this one! Is it good enough at $100 to miss out on $300-400 with the top names?

If you are bald, remove the airpods max from your list. They are incredibly uncomfortable if there is no hair to prevent those two metal bars of this way too heavy headset to not dig into your skull.

Good review. You mentioned that you'd prefer the Bose QC Ultra over the Sonos ace.
I returned my QC due to the static hiss/white noise from the ANC when the surroundings is silent. This made me crazy as working in an open office if can often go from very loud to people being silent and focused many times during the day.
So i am curious: Did you feel the static hissing from either/or both the Sonos and Bose?

I’m on my way to order xm5’s. Hey Aaron once compare audio quality of xm5’s with android and ios. I have an iPhone having doubts about its sound quality as I miss out LHDC and LDAC.

I bought my Soundcore a40 because of this channel for 2 years now its been an amazing purchase the transparency, battery life and sound is soo good for the low price ive had airpods pro guys say sound and battery is great and its really close to the transparency for small earphones.

Been waiting for this!!
Thank you for a great comparison video!!

Hey Aaron,

I have the B&W PX8 and would like to get one of these headphones for on-the-go. However, the AirPods Max are out because they are uncomfortable.

Which of the others would you recommend to complement the PX8? Something with good sound but different from that of Bowers & Wilkins.

Thanks in advance.

Would you choose Sonos Ace over Sennheiser Momentum 4?

[AdventureVixen]

They seem ok. Imma stick with ny XM5s they are a great all around anc cans. Plus, LDAC, which im really enjoying

[playbigqueen]

This review was so helpful. THANK YOU!

[oisin_o_boyle]

Gonna sell my QC Ultra. The Ace sound way better to me. The material seems to be better as well, the Bose feel very plastic. Also, the Ace delivers sound via USB-C and can charge the same time. Good for lossless, whereas you gonna need an additional DAC for the Bose. The button function is also more convenient on my Ace compared to my Ultra. The Bose immersive sound is not convincing, sounds like sitting in a huge can.

Great video around the popular headphones out there~ I ended up purchasing the Sonos Ace on launch myself and I'm pretty happy with them. I loved the Airpods Max but just couldn't justify the price for such aged headphones. It's a pity since I'm still hoping for some Airpods Max 2 to be announced to fit into my Apple ecosystem, Sonos does a great job though if I manually add them to the desired devices haha.

[sublimindsubs]

What would be the best noise cancelling for highly noisy neighbors?

[mikeevans]

Nice work Aaron watching this episode answer's my question of why ANC performance has become subjective like sound quality is. We all hear sounds in a different way. You laid it out perfectly. Thanks. 💯🔥🇺🇸

[Fredo.heavyy]

Surprised you didn’t include the Momentum 4s in this comparison

[gurjotsingh]

I am looking for good sound quality which one should i go for?

[herbertkleung]

Thank you for making these videos. Love your channel mate
