SonosAce | Noise Cancelling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with Bluetooth, 30-Hour Battery Life, Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, Dynamic Head Tracking - BlackRecycled Content Certification for Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Wide sound stage for a closed back ANC headphone. Clarity and definition are superior to the other headphones I tested which are the Momentum 4s and the Cambridge Melomanias. The base is dynamic and full like mini thunder in your ears without sounding too warm, outstanding. The Sonos headphones are far superior to the other two headphones I tested, in fact I would add that I would not recommend the others over the Sonos at all. I know that's harsh since I'm not even going to list what makes the others inferior, but the difference will sound so clear, there's hardly much to say. I'll put it this way, I had to compare the Sonos with real audiophile headphones that have no features except quality drivers. Yes, the Sonos weren't better but I really spent the time to compare.For Gaming go with the Sonos over the other headphones because of it's wide sound stage it's much better at handling 7.1 virtual surround sound.The Sonos are way more comfortable than the other headphones because of how the earpads are designed to curve over your ear, not just sit flat on your ear like the others, while still covering all of your ear. It's an impressive design and just makes them feel great to wear. Also, these have magnetic earpads for easy removal unlike the others.The Senheisers do use touch controls if you like that. I found them useful but once you learn the controls of the Sonos it won't matter. There's a strange behavior with the ANC options with the Sonos when you disable ANC, the base drops below 50% of its power. However, I believe this is a feature when you don't want it to go on and off in certain areas where you need to external hearing. In addition, you can keep the setting at Adaptive which restores the base with a small open back effect. The third option for full ANC removes the open back effect.I also found the Sonos more stylish to the other two since hard edges is just how 99% of other headphones look. The headband also sits snug around your head without any weird parts that sticking out like you're in a studio when they simply don't perform that way. I know this part is subjective but I think some people would appreciate these design points.Overall, while probably more expensive than other wireless ANC headphones, these are just all around great and worth it over the others. Reviews have raved about the Sennheiser over these, I resoundingly disagree.Other observations are situational. For example, I found that these type of headphones did not need to replace my Airpod Pros when I would go for a walk or a quick hop to the corner store. The sounds of the airpods directly in your ear are just high quality sounding as regular headphones. However, if I had to go somewhere to work all day like at the office, the Sonos were hands down more comfortable in that situation. If you like to sleep with music headphones, these will be far more comfortable than the Airpods sitting in your ear.Last point is for gaming again. While the Sonos are far better for gaming than the other ones mentioned, they are still wireless ANC headphones meant for all kinds of scenarios. Dedicated headphones that will tether you to your gaming PC or if you want just audiophile headphones, those will probably offer more immersive experience in those situations.

I have a large head and these are good, and just a step down from the Bose QC ultra. However, the Bose feel cheap to me and they drop connections in a busy office neither of which the Sonos has a problem with. It’s definitely better in both those areas.They sound great and they look really, really good. My last video call someone specifically reached out and asked what I was using. From a sound quality perspective they are great. I find them better than the Sony XM five not quite as good as AirPod Max when it comes to transparency. However, the transparency mode is good. These are less hot on the ears than the Sony XM five but not as good as the AirPods Max.The battery life is excellent. I like the battery life better than the Bose QC ultra. Connectivity is good. I like to use it on my iPad and on a Microsoft surface laptop works excellent for those and my phone.It’s a game changer if you have a Sonos arc I love that feature. It allows me to watch TV late at night after my wife is gone to bed without bothering her happy wife happy life…I would buy it again, but if my head was a little bigger, I think I would pass. So if your head is larger than large and smaller, but not quite extra large, it’s a buy.

This is my first pair of premium headphones and they sound so good. The headset connects easily although it takes a little time switching between devices without the app. It's beautiful, it charges quickly, holds a long battery life, and has amazing sound quality. Worth the price in my opinion.

After using these for about a week, my overall impressions.Sound quality is good. But the key reasons I wanted these headphones don't even work as defined on the product page.1. The headphones look ok, nothing amazing, but solid look, the sound is good, the ANC is OK, better than Anker, Not as good as Sony/Bose. The feel is NOT cheap; however, the fit is a little weird.FIT: The headphones work ok as long as I keep my head completely flat and don't look up or down. Ilooked up to the ceiling and the headphones DO NOT STAY IN PLACE.I tried lying down to test that out. The headphones don't stay in place while lying down, butinstead slide down toward the back of the head and the earcups fall off the ears (within about 5 s.)3. The expected functions don't work as expected.a. Lossless bluetooth is essentially a lie (and it was unclear before ordering that there were, probablymore specifically what those limitations are.) But ONE chipset that is on only a couple of phonesdoesn't make lossless bluetooth a real thing. Minimum it should be clear whether that capabilitywould be available BEFORE I PURCHASE !!!b. The ability to toggle my sonos ARC sound to my headphones ALSO DOES NOT WORK. It mightwork; however, since I do NOT have an apple phone and an APPLE phone is REQUIRED to setup thiscapability, it doesn't work on my headphones.c. And of course Trueplay is a promised Android capability (*promised for years and NEVERimplemented that capability.) So I am now supposed to believe that they will eventually add the ACEtoggle to headphones option for Android later??? NO way, I have been down that road before.

Product was delivered with box being already opened and charging wires just loosely in box. Obviously someone else's before I received but besides that everything was intact and once I did a factory reset. It all paired up and worked fine. No weird stranger hairs anywhere on the products. They work and sound fantastic and what I needed for apartment life. Can't crank my Arc & Sub too much do to thin walls but these crank up and sound very good for an alternative.
