We compared the Sonos Ace with the best ANC headphones (AirPods Max, Sony, Bose and Sennheiser)

[@anzorbayramkulov1664]

Guys, as always high quality content. Sense of humor is S tier either. Pleasure to watch you. 🎉

[@IronLionZion429]

Test, Test, Testicle 😅

[@IMHO88-dm1xf]

For me, I'll choose the Bose!! 💯 The King of ANC!! They fold!! The sound is top tier!! Excellent hard shell case!! (Zipper glides easily). The White and Sandstone colours look so Dope!! And so comfortable!!

great effort from you guys for such a comprehensive comparison and for the real consumer pov.....

[@musicalman1995]

The BOSE and SONOS are literally 50$ price difference and I’m leaning towards the Sonos. I don’t think those BOSE sound good at all. It’s all just thuddy bass.

[@Nick_in_the_6ix]

Please review the new Melomania P100 by Cambridge Audio. Looks like a great buy.

[@calixtomontes3151]

Great presentation as always! You can say alumino instead of aluminum!! Please be careful with the birds they may flip you guys off! 🤣😂🤣😂Or they may even attack. Keep up the good work gents.

[@lonhodowal8779]

Run from SONOS. My experience: possibly good sound (I don’t know cause because after 2+ hours with their so called customer service the never functioned) but the absolute worst support. Beware of the SONOS hype.

[@richb1784]

A little while ago you did a really good video on not getting earbuds over 100$. I'm thinking it's the same situation for wireless headphones as you are getting 90% features, sound, etc. with headphones much cheaper than the expensive top of the line ones.

[@DHRME]

Absolutely!

[@alanine98]

You are getting the features, but you are also getting what you are paying for. Soundquality, ANC, and hearthrough is simply better on more expensive sets.

[@attilab.2818]

I already have the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless and Bose QuiteComfort Ultra Earbuds and Headphones, also the Nuraphones and a few others. But I was curious about these, so ordered them. I'm about to buy my first soundbar and maybe a set of surround speakers, that's it. Sonos would've been one my options but the way they force people to ditch their android device and switch to Apple is kinda puts me off. There is a reason I abandoned Apple but Sonos doesn't leave too many choices if I want to unlock their full potential, eg. calibration or audio swap between the Arc and Ace, etc. I'm still shocked to learn that their retail boxes don't even have the 'Works with Android' badge, only the 'Made for iPhone/iPad' ones. When I had a chat with their rep, he clearly stated that Sonos prioritise Apple and iOS compatibility and this is the main goal with all their software and hardware developments, however he also mentioned in a very arrogant manner, if I'm really desperate to use them with android, most of their products MAY work with limited functions but it's not their intended purpose. Why can't an audio company stay neutral? Are we sure they have nothing to do with Apple's ownership?

[@DHRME]

Yeah. Their app has been quite a disaster for Android from what I hear.

Utrecht is a beautiful city quite close to Amsterdam. Refreshing to see it on your video. Thanks for your honesty and humour Hot Weather & ANC Irritability 🙌🏼

[@DHRME]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NicolaiNNielsen]

Thank you for a in-depth review. I had the Bose QC Ultra but returned them as i also found a mosquito/white-noise with the ANC on, especially in quiet environments and that was a dealbreaker for me. Funny that you didn't notice it on your testing device as it also seems like a normal issue for the Bose. Maybe a device-by-device case? Looking towards the Sonos Ace but the shitty microphone seems to be a dealbreaker on that.. Maybe i should be waiting for the Apple Airpods Max upgrade, but I don't really like the heaviness and design/comfort on that. I'm hard to satisfy, i know 😄

[@Joe-b3v]

Hey guys, any chance for a Edifier W830NB review? They look amazing on paper but I'd love to see some real world tests.

[@ericchin666]

Sonos or sony which one is better for noise cancelling for subway or people talking or in the aeroplane

[@plunder1956]

Aluminium or "Aluminum" is always fun for English accent hunters. I go with the Johnny Ives version. One issue I wish more headphone makers did offer was easily replaceable (and obtainable) Ear-Cups, because they always wear out! I also wish more headphones came with FABRIC ear cups like some Bayer and AKG, they are SO much more comfortable 😅

[@Gary85Paul]

The biggest problem with the Sennheisers is the buggy firmware. I had to return mine because there were various settings that I got just so in the app and they'd be wiped each time I reconnected the headphones.

[@mauritja00]

You finally helped me choose my next headphones, thanks… sticking to the Sonys

[@MC_Shaheen1]

dude pick the Bose QC Ultra 💯 best ANC finally Aptx Adaptive Hi-Res codec on a Bose headphones I tried them both XM5 and QC Ultra and Bose sounded far more premium and full combined with that industry leading ANC. I went with Sennheiser since ANC isn't my priority but I promise QC Ultra is the best ANC headphones and it's the latest and greatest on the market right now.

[@MC_Shaheen1]

ofcourse you've to tell me your budget first coz QC Ultra costs more but these days it's on a good deal as discounted prices everywhere in Kuwait. It's 129KWD here and sold out. 😂

Another great and comprehensive comparison video!! Like this new style where you're outside just like what you did with the Beats headphones. I'm surprised you didn't mentioned the zip issue with the Sonos' case - where it does get stuck!!

Awesome review and comparison guys! 👍 Sadly, the poor peasants like me will never purchase any of these. 😞💵 I will have to stick with my EarFuns, 1Mores, Vokalens, JLabs, and Picuns.

That’s probably the more sensible approach! :)

I've read online that apparently Sonos fixed the mosquito issue like 9 days ago (21. June 2024). I sent my pair back two weeks ago because of this issue so I cannot confirm it.

[@KarolyKrausz]

​​@@DHRMEI searched on Google for Sonos ACE, static/buzzing noise and chose the result with the Sonos community one.

[@Muchacandela]

@@KarolyKrausz can you confirm this now?

[@KarolyKrausz]

@@Muchacandela Hi there! I did not purchase the Sonos ACE again. I see the real price at around 350 Euro gross. Currently they sell it in Germany for 399 Euro gross so I'm not far off from my goal. The information regarding the improved mosquito noise is from reddit.

We tested it. Mosquito noise is confirmed to be eliminated!

I had the Sonys xm4 and the Apple air pods and both of them didn't like it , I sold them bought and I got the sennheiser mom4 and the Beats Studio pro instead , even tho the anc is not as good I do not regret my choice ... I have small head and ear as well and walking a lot and no one on theese list beat the sound of the mom 4 for my rock music I listen to

I must be weird. The apple headphones are ugly heavy, and the sound profile is also not my vibe. I returned them and got the XM5s ❤❤❤ best all-around choice. They arr sooooo light! Sometimes they get warm on my ears after a few hours. Sonos, idk i dont think they will beat my Sonys. I dont have the sonos sound bar thats compatible w the Sonos headphones

[@musicalman1995]

The Sonos are more natural sounding than the consumer-tuned Sonys. Not for you.

[@DHRME]

Seriously? 'natural' sounding? How?

[@musicalman1995]

@@DHRME neutral * sorry. Check out the review on RTINGS. The bass accuracy response is higher than Sony and Bose. Sonos eventuate the mid-bass rather than lower bass. The bass parts sound loud without the vibrating drivers, and I hate vibrating drivers. Gives me a headache.

which one of all of these would you say is the best overall? I like more neutral sound so i’m leaning between bose and sennheiser?

[@DHRME]

None of these can be called neutral.

[@PoofyisDead]

@@DHRME I previously had Xm3, so that and my sennheiser 58x are my point of reference for “neutral leaning*” sound, The airpods max sounded quite good to me but I haven’t been able to find a similar sounding lighter pair from any other brand. The sennheiser Momsntum and Accentum have similar frequency response graphs, and i’ve heard lots about the bose sounding great.
