Sonos - Ace

I was disappointed with the ace’s stayed with sony

Purchased the Ace exclusively for the TV Swap feature and really loving it. Comfortable, great ANC and lots of battery power.

Probably the best headphones to travel since they are very aesthetically pleasing, very light, comfortable and really good noise cancellation. But the sound quality would say, they are OK, nothing exceptional. Hope Sonos will address this in the next version.

The Sony WH what what MX6 is horse shite the sound is just average at best and the equaliser settings is not like the old ones on the mx4 they changed that why they dd that was stupid no excite bright settings it’s not on the mx6 instead they have three settings for sound normal background and cinema and that must be the selling point of why they asking so much money £399 really Sony I will return my headphones for a full refund the best headphones for me at this moment is the Sonos ace They sound much better top of the food chain.

I like them a lot. I’m not an audiophile as such but they’re pretty great

Like many, got mine specifically for TV use with my Arc and they are fantastic for that, the Spatial Audio makes it much more comfortable since the sound doesn’t turn with your head and stays planted in front. I’ve found they are also the cans I reach for when going on a trip now though as well as I’m very happy with the sound, battery life and comfort (I wear eye glasses so some other over ears don’t work as well for me). ANC is also very good though not quite at the level of my AirPods Max (but I prefer the sound of the Ace). They also seemed to improve significantly with the last firmware update, now get far less drop outs in TV mode than when I started and the spatial is definitely better with the room matching stuff. If they had just worked well as TV headphone I would have been happy but I can use them for most things. Only real bummer is that you can’t use them as a player direct to the Sonos system which would have been nice.

I've tried **Airpods Pro 2** and **Bose QC35**, and I can still hear all of the conversations around me. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one doing any work as practically everyone else is bs'ing about non-work topics. But since working in the office for several days a week is mandatory, I gotta deal with it. I recently got a pair of **Sonos Ace** headphones, and they block out almost all of the conversations in the office! **They are best so far** but still **not 100 percent**. Also since they pair with my Sonos Arc home theater set, I often forget to put them into my work backpack and then I'm stuck with my Airpods. So having another pair is necessary. I plan on trying the popular **Sony WH-1000XM6**, but I haven't ordered them yet. u/Weary_Cattle7284 Let us know what headphones you try and what headphones you end up getting. Also, if your office has small meeting or special purpose rooms, you can hide out in those when you really need to focus. I can do low "CPU" tasks while hearing outside conversations. It's when I'm working on a difficult or complicated task that I need to eliminate all distractions.

a safe option could be a bose or sony. I liked bose quiet comfort ultra especially. Well rounded. I get a rich soundstage, everything sounds clear and punchy. A fun listening experience. Reviews say theyre way less neutral than eg sennheiser and some say theyre for bassheads. I found their sound pleasing and not overly exaggerated, definitely more vital than sennheiser (though). That's why i don't like sennheiser, they are neutrals kings! But every pair is customizable with an eq of course. Also really light and good anc. But both very plasticy. B&W px8 firstly impressed me the most. Really wide soundstage. Feels premium, but some may prefer their music more punchy and directly in their head. Very warm sound. Almost to much at first, but still everything is separated and detailed enough for that to 'compensate'. For old music theyre perfect. BUT, only wired imo tbh. Via Bluetooth (with my/an iphone), i actually think they're nothing special anymore, they sound quieter and a bit muddy. But wired it is. B&W px7s3 (wired again, couldn't test bluetooth) have a much more near soundstage. For me everything sounded a bit like my ears are under a blanket, but theyre tuned more like others and very punchy. I'd also consider Sonos Ace. They are gorgeous, premium feel, perfect weight, and good control elements. Want to test them via Bluetooth so bad! Wired they sounded promisingly. Spatial, not so much like px8, but bit more clear imo. Could be the perfect in-between. Soundcore space one pro are good for the cost i think.

Because they never do full reviews If you have the sonos bar and the ace Has the true cinema update Needless to say, there is a big difference in immersion when listening to movies. Sony doesn't have that, not even with its high-end TVs. Since you had both, it would have been a good opportunity for that comparison. Regarding sound, the best is always the one that can be equalized to your liking without distorting.

I have a large head and the comfort between the XM6 and Ace is no contest (Ace by a wide margin) even though I like the sound quality and features of the Sony. BUT the Ace really is amazing in TV Swap. Just amazing in that use case
