Sonos Ace Wireless Headphones - amzn.to/3xhgg9t
Is the ANC strength comparable to Sony xm5s or Bose qc ultra?
For the "True Cinema" Spatial Audio, you need the Sonos Arc Soundbar to deliver the dolby atmos signal to the Ace. It will not work only with an AppleTV over bluetooth. This is really a bummer, since I don't want to buy the Arc Soundbar only for having a very expensive device to deliver the atmos signal to my headphones. Especially because the AirPods Pro or AirPods Max will get the 3D Spatial Audio signal with Dolby Atmos directly from the AppleTV, without having a third device in the middle.
But if you are not in the Apple cosmos, don't have an Apple TV, the combination Arc + Ace could be really interesting for watching movies in the night, when Kids and Wife are sleeping. But it is something which AppleTV delivers since years.
Beats studio pro has the same feature for apple tv? Or only airpods? Thanks
Amazing video. Thx Aaron. Can't wait for your complete review.
Thanks for watching :)
Give yourself another month or two for all the hype to settle down first before giving them a serious thought of purchasing Sonos Ace.
I felt happy seeing the design, the metal hinge, and the letter S in the title, thinking it was WH1000XM6.😢😅
How is the ANC in comparison to the Bose ultra quite comfort?
I won't be buying any more Sonos products until they get the awful Sonos app sorted.
Best transparency mode - Sony xm5 ? No, APM has a way better transparency mode...
Can you compare these to Audeze Maxwells, and Sony flagships?
You are the first person I thought of when I needed a review for these.
Thank you 😁
Saw a bunch of reviewers uploaded videos but looked for your's immediately. Thanks for the great impression, as always!
Wow thanks 😁
Facts
Interesting offering from Sonos, certainly something new to the market, away from the Bose and Sony's. Currently have Bose QC Ultra and don't see myself moving away from it. From what I can tell, the Ace don't foldaway when in a case and that is a deal breaker for me, however wouldn't mind try them on when demo units are available in NZ. It's also available for pre order in NZ but at NZ$800, hard pill to swallow, when I spent just over NZ$600 for the QC Ultra.
How does this compare to the B&W PX8s?
Got a Px8, will preorder the Sonos Ace just to have a comparison, but mainly for the soundbar feature.
Another excellent video! Thanks.
Please could you review the new LG Tone Free T90S (Dolby Atmos and full head tracking) released today.
I have this buds for over a year (T90s). The battery already drains fast. If you’re looking for dolby atmos, you’ll be disappointed with T90s, first the sound is not that great like spatial audio. Second you can’t turn off head tracking.
@@jakemixd no you don't. They were only released on 21st May 2024. There are different T90 models that were released previously in 2021/2022. The T90S is the newest model which was only released this month.
Did I hear you right? Sony XM5 has best transparency? I must have horrible hearing cause I have both the Sony XM5(wifeys) & Air Pod Max and it must depend on what phone you are connected(she has android I have iPhone)to cause my Air pod max as superior transparency then when I use the XM5
I will get this one if the bass can be set to be kicking! Please do a comparison with Sennheiser Momentum 4 🙏
The number one thing that makes me hate the Sony and Bose headphones I've used is the software and controls. For some reason, reviewers don't cover that properly.
I really hope the part about the Bass is not true, I was going to get these over the Airpods Max. Also its a shame the spatial audio wont work when just connected to bluetooh as my plan was to connect to my Apple Tv.
Too bad they nerfed the app for existing customers. Truly appalling.
Rather a shorter battery life and ecosystem integration, was looking forward to ordering but without that they are a big no for me sadly.
Aaron you're awesome, I appreciate your hardwork, keep rocking. Your dedication to produce high quality content and in depth analysis provides excellent insight. Mad respect on your work brother.
Thank you for this initial review! Any chance you can test the Dali IO-12?
You give us an honest review, Appreciated! Thanks for posting this video
You’re welcome! Just my first impressions. Review to come!
For me, the Sony XM5's transparency mode isn't that great. It can't compare to Bose or Apple's offerings. You mentioned that the Sonos Ace performs equal to Sony, which means it's below Bose and Apple level?
APM transparency is superior, XM5 and Bose transparency quality are similar for me. Will have to confirm that in a proper review.
so I cant get spatial audio from Mac laptop? or my LG tv ?
Only through Sonos soundbars.
What about two Eras?
What about two Eras 300?
Just waiting for a complete review by aaron ❤
Yeah, nah
The best TRANSPARENCY MODE is apple’s AIRPOD MAX 😮😮😮 Hands down!!!! @4:34 also clean anc not leading but clean…..
All these impressions of the specs, from you and everyone else, are a bit irrelevant, I realise you have a channel to maintain.... and I get sucked in every time, and you actually said "not a review" but that does not come up on a truncated phone listing! Doh!
They look nice
4:33 Weird take. Sony XM5's transparency mode better than even the AirPods Max?
Sonos always had some catch to their feature like requiring another expensive equipment to pair together 🤧
Better apple design this is what the Airpods max should have been .. not the overly heavy one they made that strains the neck and jaw after like 1 hrs of listening session
I’m wonder how is going to do against the focal bathys. It can be better?
Sound wise that’s impossible
@@orborbea9844 How do you know?
Can anc be turned off completely? It makes me feel sick.
basically you left out the most important point , what's the price lol
I was only given the SGD price - 699
$449 USD
It's cheap man... Yea it's cheap
how about the transparency mode on the headphones?
Does it have to be a Sonos sound bar to use these features
I wonder if it has AptX built in
It looks very cheap, but as it is Sonos, it's probably not. And it sounds like gimmicky features is what it supposed to sell it.
I have got Sonos Beam and ability to switch from soundbar to headphones is very strong incentive for the reasons Aaron mentioned.
Peter Pee's young protege ;)
I found my new pc headset
I hope they connect to WiFi?
Does it work in combination with the Playbase?
No
Damn. $450.
What color do you prefer? Black or white?
I ordered black but just changed my order to white
Aaron in order to play lossless music must a wire be used with the Headphones.
It supports AptX Adaptive so it can do it wirelessly with a compatible device.
True lossless only over wire.
Thank you for this review. Just by hearing the name I knew it was going to be expensive. I cannot justify spending this type of $ when there are so many affordable good quality headphones.
You’re welcome! Review to come, these are first impressions 😁
Such a shame you can’t use all features unless you buy their soundbar!
Yup
Sonos is about ecosystem. If you aren’t part of their ecosystem, you are nearly always better off buying something else.
what a sadness
This comment doesn’t make any sense… what features? Playing from the soundbar to the headphones? What, do you think Samsung, Bose, Klipsch are going to just suddenly start transmitting surround sound to Sonos headphones?
These are Bluetooth headphones. You want sound from the TV? Connect to Bluetooth. @aaronloudwireless you should be ashamed for saying “Yup” and not even thinking about what you are saying and perpetuating misinformation.
Without Sonos soundbar you can’t use TrueCinema, 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos spatial audio and head tracking. So yes, you can’t use all the features unless you have a Sonos soundbar.
Hii tell me suggestion. I have Sony wf1000xm5 and, jabra 10 now I want switch Sennheiser mmt 4 is it good to go? I already watch videos.. and compare to this 2 nothing ear and Motorola buds+, Sennheiser mmt 4 is good? And I can't find comparison sounds link is not opening and only blanks videos I m getting.
Hi what do you mean blank videos? If you joined as a member you'll have access to the call quality and noise canceling samples. These are audio files not videos. Sound quality samples are in the usual video playlist and are playing as normal.
@@aaronloudnwireless I can't see it yesterday I m watching your earbuds shorts but I can't access that files u r talking about .I don't understand how to do I see your other things also click on that but not playing help me make video of that if possible.
Maybe you're living in a country that has blocked Soundcloud? The links work fine
@@aaronloudnwireless in India it's blocked I don't know can u send me links of sound testing. And I m going to purchase Sennheiser momentum 4 it's good!
I have to disagree with your opinion on the WH-1000XM5 having the best transparency mode in the market. I've tested it and thought it sounded bad. For me, the Airpods Max still hold the crown when it comes to transparency mode, and I sincerely hope the Sonos Ace is comparable to that instead of the WH-1000XM5.
Yeah, the wh-1000xm5 is not even close. Little confused by that comment.
Yup APM is defo more transparent in the high freqs than XM5.
but the XM5 material quality isn’t the greatest unfortunately
So it copied the AirPods Max design and the usual sales price…
interesting 🤔
I had the same thought. it looks exactly like the airpods max
For that price? Nope thanks. I see it goes for under $300 in 6 months. They can't sell these for $499, no way,
Nice Apple design.
Better than Apple.
@@Norbitek25how would u know? 😂
@@AcesMR6 Apple haters know everything about Apple without testing.🤣😂🤣😅😂
SHEKSHAY!!
😂
Nice review - my take is without WiFi these are hot garbage. SonyXM5 & Apple AirPod max are just better - enable WiFi and full app support to play my turntable or FLAC library and I’m ordering.
Bose copied 1000% by Apple, Sony and Sonos in every possible way related to audio...
And yet I like Apple & Sony (potentially Sonos as well) more
@@AcesMR6 free market, free thinking
@@silveriojohan yup I’m free to like Apple & Sony better 👍
Does Sonos Ace serve as a replacement for the Wh-1000xm6 and imply that Sony will discontinue the Wh series of headphones?
Huh?? Why would you even think that? They’re completely different companies
Sony xm6 lol
Sony and Sonos are different companies 😭
Sony and sonos are different
Are they made out of plastic? It’s a bummer to be honest, I thought it’s a good alternative to the Max but plastic + features can’t be used without other Sonos devices and the not very low price. I think I’ll just go with Max.
The earcups are. It is to facilitate transmission over its wifi module.
@@aaronloudnwireless Thanks for the quick answer 🙂
Not very useful preview as is all hyperactive promotion. Hope you’ll be more objective with a proper review
No promotion there. Just giving first thoughts.
