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.

that's the thing, and that's annoying. we purchased those for my wife, who solely uses a windows computer. She had micro disconnects with bluetooth, so we purchased the latest bluetooth dongle; the problem went away partially. Then she needed to purchase an app to get the best of the features, and then it wouldn't pass audio through the usb cable, so she needed to wait for it to charge. in the end we returned it (Costo 90 days), and we got her a Sonos Ace and all of her issues are gone

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.

Why not Sonos Ace? I see you got the Arc already. I use mine for gaming everyday. I can wear them for hours forgetting I'm even wearing headphones. Their Spatial audio + TrueCinema software does excellent job expanding the soundstage in any game
