well Sonos a certainly has some tough
competition as you can see I've got some
of the best here which I've been
comparing against Sonos a to provide
some performance benchmarks so let's see
how these stand up in
[Music]
testing hey guys Lou here from Smart
Home sounds and if you're new welcome
now as we've been so involved in the
Sonos community over the years we know
just how long some of you have waited
for these so we want to make sure that
we fully test them out for you and we'll
have more in-depth comparisons coming
very soon so make sure you subscribe if
you haven't already to catch all of
those now in this review I'm going to
cover three big questions number one
what are these like as regular
headphones number two what are they like
as headphones within the Sonos ecosystem
and finally number three would I
recommend these over the competition
Plus we've got a professional dolak Moss
mixer to test them out and share his
thoughts so make sure you stay tuned for
[Music]
that now as you'd expect for
a449 pair of headphones these definitely
have a premium design and feel to them
now the headphones themselves are really
well built from the stainless steel
headband to the hidden hinge to the
vegan leather memory Pham cushions now
they have a really nice matte finish
with a laser etched Sonos logo on the
right ear cup and are supposed to be
anti-fingerprint which is true for the
white but I have noticed that the black
ones do get some finger marks on them
similar to the Sony XM 5S now the ear
cups are very slim line giving them a
neat look on your head and I think that
they stick out the least of any of the
premium headphones in this category now
while the airpods max might feel
slightly more premium with their Metal
finish these are definitely less bulky
they sit close to your ears but don't
touch them and I'm happy to have a
closer fit for a more Slimline look I'm
really glad that Sonos went for physical
buttons on these headphones and they're
ergonomically placed easy to find and
quick to learn so for example on the
right ear cup we've got our volume up
volume down play pause our a ANC modes
button and then on the left ear cup
we've got our power on and Bluetooth
button they also have wear detection
pausing automatically when you take them
off and letting you answer Calles by
putting them on which is pretty cool
these ear cups are magnetic making them
easy to clean and I know that leather
can be a little bit like Marmite but it
does mean that they can be WIP clean so
anyone who wears makeup can go for the
white pair and not worry about keeping
them white plus the removable Cups mean
that you can replace them if needed and
I believe that the replacement cups will
be available for £49 I love this
contrasting color inside the right cup
which helps you to tell which way to
wear them and in particular I'm a big
fan of the green with the white
headphones which you can also get in the
case now the case itself even though
it's fairly wide is so slim that it's
easy to slip into a bag without taking
up too much space it's much more compact
than the xm5 case and let's not even
mention the airpods max case inside
there's a little magnetic pouch for the
wires initially I wasn't sure about it
but actually I can see myself just
taking this away with me to keep the
cabl safe if I don't want the whole case
now technically these headphones don't
have an IP RA in and they therefore not
tested to be water resistant in fact
Sonos go as far as to say on their
website that this unit is not waterproof
avoid using in wet conditions now this
is not uncommon for pre headphones the
airpods Macs are the same and I see a
lot of people wearing them in the gym I
tested these with a few workouts and a
5K run and I would have complete
confidence using them for a light gym
session where you know that you're not
going to be sweating too much but while
they were comfy to run in especially
with how light they feel after around
about 4K I noticed a buildup of sweat on
the ear cups it was easy enough to wipe
it clean and like the airpods Maxes but
I was still a little bit conscious about
getting them too sweaty as there's no IP
rating overall I like the design they
feel premium and very Sonos and I like
how they look on my head now I do think
that design is of course subjective and
part of me prefers the metal finish and
colorways of the airpods max but I
appreciate the Simplicity of these and
the slim profile of the ear cups
definitely puts these above the Bose
choir Comfort Ultras and Sony XM 5s on
looks alone for me now Comfort is huge
for me with headphones they could be the
best sounding cans in the world but if
they aren't comfy I don't want them now
son not say that they have a mechanism
in the ear cup that adjust just to
equalize pressure and create a better
acoustic seal I have to say these are
probably the best fitting headphones
that I've tried they sit nicely on your
head with enough clamping to give a good
fit and really good sound isolation even
without a ANC but they don't clamp too
much nothing like the pressure that you
get with something like the Bowers and
Wilkins PX 7s I will point out that the
glasses wearers in our office found them
okay but after an hour or so felt some
pressure behind the ears from my
experience wearing these for hours on
end over the last few weeks they are
really really comfy and up there with
the very best that I've tested they're
absolutely more comfortable than the
airpods max which is mainly down to them
feeling lighter on the head 312 G
compared to the airpods max is 384 G
I've not really experienced any ear
fatigue and often forget that I've got
them on my head which is mad so a big
tick in the comfort box with these so
I'm happy with the look and the fit but
how do they sound well Sonos have gone
for a pair of custom-designed 40 mil
Dynamic drivers which is the same size
driver drivers as the airpods max but
larger than the quiet Comfort Ultras at
35 mil and XM 5's 30 mil drivers for
context now these can be set up with
Bluetooth Straight Out of the Box they
support Bluetooth 5.4 and multi-point
pairing so you don't actually need to
use the Sonos app at all if you don't
want to multipoint Works seamlessly on
these and I've had no issues with
connectivity it's also worth noting if
your connected Bluetooth device has a
built-in voice assistant then you can
activate it using the noise control
button on the right ear cup and then use
your voice to skip track or play
specific playlist for example you do
also get a USBC to 3.5 mil cable and
USBC to USBC cable included in the box
so you can listen to these headphones
wired if you want to they do support
lossless audio over USBC or if you have
an Android device that includes qualcom
Snapdragon sound appex for lossless then
you can get lossless audio over
Bluetooth it's not available when
connected to an iOS device via Bluetooth
Sonos ACE also supports spatial audio
and lby Atmos and has the option to
toggle on dynamic head tracking
personally I don't love head tracking
for music but it is a cool feature and
for the right track can create a super
immersive experience for those who want
to get the most out of the headphones
the Sonos app now has a section for
headphones and a number of settings
including EQ adjustments ANC spatial
audio and more oh and also the Sonos app
can connect to Sonos Ace over Bluetooth
so you don't need to be on your Wi-Fi
anymore to access settings which is why
they would have needed that new Sonos
app okay let's give you guys a listen
then now I'll be using our binaural mic
which should give you guys a good idea
of what these headphones are like but
remember it's never going to sound
exactly like what they do on your
head all of your
defense at the end just hold it on
[Music]
okay there we go hopefully that gave you
all a good flavor of how Sonos a sound
now before I share our thoughts from
tessin I thought that we could hear from
a true professional so we asked Kurt
Martinez head Dolby Atmos mixer at Dean
Street Studios in London his opinions on
Sonos Ace now for context he currently
uses the Apple airpods Max's reference
headphones for his mixes but he had the
chance to test out Sonos Ace and even
use them on his latest mix for Central
sea so let's see what he had to say what
kind of been your initial thoughts after
testing them out for a couple of days I
I really like them I think the the noise
cancelling is up there with some of the
best I've heard that ridiculous then I
think in in terms of um sound you know
like listening back to Atmos on on both
Apple music and Amazon there's an
incredible amount of
um uh depth and space which is exactly
what you want from a spatial mix yeah it
it feels good and yeah I was just I was
really impressed from the off I find the
low end is really
exaggerated um and I I don't know if it
was you know like listening to them for
the first time or just because I just
listened to you know some headphones I
was used to yeah um it felt like a a big
jump around you know the 100 200 Herz
area when listening back to um to things
that I'm used to I've ended up actually
just nudging the treble um I think two
notches and it's put it into a you know
where it kind of balances it out for me
I can listen to it flat absolutely but I
think there's just that that low end for
a lot of what I listen to in terms of um
rock and pop punk and stuff it almost
loses that punch for me how have you
find found the other elements of the
audio besides the bass I I really like
it I really like being able to listen to
um a lot of the atmas content feels
really nice vocals feel present you know
the things that are out and in the room
feel like they're out and around your
head any kind of major comparisons
anything things you've really noticed
difference sound wise between the ace
and the airpods Maxes I think in terms
of quality overall I think
they if not identical they're very very
close if you want to hear more from Kurt
then we'll be sure to share our full
chat very soon now first and foremost
these are very capable headphones
whether you're listening to stereo or
spacial they have a great tonality and
an enjoyable sound profile I agree that
they are sitting pretty much on par with
the airpods max it's really splitting
hairs between them I also agree that
with certain genres like rock for
example the base can be a little
overpowering but it's nice and easy to
dial that back to your preference with
the EQ adjustments in the app now that's
not to say that the bass is boomy it's
nice and tight just maybe a little
pronounced for some in certain tracks or
genres but for most of the music that
I've tested them with I've loved the
balance Peggy goo's Lobster telephone
with the kick drum at the start is super
impressive and it sits as you would want
it for that kind of dance track and
actually when I went from Sonos ace to
the likes of the airpods Mac or xm5 or
even the quiet Comfort Ultras they felt
like they were almost missing an element
of the track but you can then flick to
something like Leon Bridges river which
is a simple orchestral and Vocal Track
and Sonos Ace handled it all very well
there too I've also tested them with
podcasts where again they've performed
really well you get nice warm vocals and
good Clarity in the vocals in mid-range
I have also found them pretty imersive
for that kind of content it was almost
like I was in the room with Steven
Bartlett for the conversation
[Music]
world classc is a bold claim from SOS
especially with the competition out
there but I have to say that the noise
cancellation is seriously impressive now
I was a little bit skeptical as it's all
automatic and there's no way to adjust
the ANC levels but from testing whether
I'm sat in the office out by a busy road
or out and about in the wind I've got to
say that this up there with the very
best that I've tested and again the
design of those physical buttons make it
easy to switch between modes but let's
see what you guys think what I'm going
to do is just play some background
coffee shop on the on for you and I'm
going to start with the headphones off
so you can hear just how loud it is
through the binaural mic I'm then going
to put the headphones onto the binaural
mic and we're going to cycle through the
different modes so I'll start with noise
cancellation off then on and we'll
finish with aware mode
[Music]
[Music]
so as you can hopefully tell from that
test the Sonos Ace are up there with the
performance of the likes of Sony and
apple there's also no audible hissing
when thec is working which is a personal
bug bear of mine the aware mode also
impressed me and this is something that
I don't tend to use on other headphones
I'd rather just pause my music or take
the headphones off but I actually like
how it works on the One Tap of a button
and it does sound like everything around
you is Amplified and I found myself
using it a fair bit in the office I
always thought the airpods Macs are
great for their aware mode but I do
think that the Sonos are just as good
okay so as you can tell I'm outside
right now testing the microphone quality
on the Sonos a headphones now it is
quite busy where I am this lots of car
is driving past is a little bit windy
and we've got a very busy train station
just over the other side of the road so
hopefully you can tell how these
sound my thoughts on the battery are
pretty short and sweet I haven't had to
worry about the battery life at all now
I have been using them on and off and
besides testing the 3 minute Quick
Charge feature which works brilliantly
I've not needed to charge them yet 30
hours is plenty for multiple days use
for me on and off and it's great that
that's with ANC on as well as I like to
have that on pretty much all of the time
that I'm using them it's longer than the
airpods max the bow quite comfor Ultras
and on par with the Sony XM 5s and bows
and Wilkins PX 7s
now if you're not interested in how
these work for movies with Sonos or for
gaming then feel free to skip ahead to
my final verdict as I'm now going to be
answering the question how do these work
as Sonos headphones first things first
these don't work in the way that a lot
of Sonos users hop for or expected them
to work and that includes us now we
imagined a pair of Sonos headphones
would work as another Zone in your home
making the most of Sonos is well
established routs in creating a home
ecosystem over Wi-Fi but that's not the
case the only connection to your son
system is via sonof Soundbar
specifically one of these sonof
Soundbars and only the arc from launch
with support for the others coming soon
now we did reach out to Sonos and asked
why is Sonos Ace not a full part of the
Sonos system and why aren't they
offering Wi-Fi connectivity and the
response we got was pretty interesting
we explored connectivity with the for
Sonos system and determined the overall
experience wouldn't meet people's
expectations for seamless on the-go
listening with headphones for example if
you leave your Wi-Fi network work to go
for a walk your audio content would drop
out additionally Wi-Fi connectivity
would cause significant limitations to
the battery life for headphones we'll
continue to learn how customers are
using Sonos Ace and fine-tune the
experience over time now do I still wish
Sonos Ace was more integrated into my
sonal system yes do I think they had an
opportunity to differentiate themselves
in the market with what they do best
also yes and do I understand now why
they've not done that with that context
yeah I get the limitations headphones
streaming over Wi-Fi would give and the
drain on battery would clearly be an
issue but do I think there's a chance
that we could see more of an integrated
connection down the line yes but for now
I can show you guys how they will work
with your TV audio which a lot of you in
the comments were very keen to know now
we will be doing an in-depth walkr of
this in a future video too for you guys
as it's a lot to cram into one review
now to clear up a few questions you can
have two Sonos Ace headphones paired
with one Soundbar so it will remember
the connection but you can't listen to
two at once also the sound from the
Soundbar is sent to your headphones not
played simultaneously so this is very
much for a personal listening experience
now it was super straightforward to set
up in the app and it works almost
instantly when you swap the audio which
you can do either in the app or by
pressing the content key on the
headphones but let's give you guys a
listen I have no intention to leave my
work unfinished
Wall's upside down right
now where do we
[Music]
start I have a plan oh yeah what is it
is ready here we go again huh
[Music]
been so hopefully as you can tell the
experience for Atmos movies is super
immersive on the headphones there is
some very clever technology working in
the soundbar to create a spatial audio
mix to Center the headphones this gives
you a surround sound experience if
you're watching content with surround
sound or Atmos audio if it's in Stereo
Sound and then you'll get a virtualized
stereo mix it's all been designed to add
immersion without feeling super closed
into your ears you can take it further
by toggling dynamic head tracking on and
that means that if you turn to the side
for example the sound still sounds like
it's coming from the source like the TV
from testing this was a super immersive
experience and actually before reviewing
the headphones I couldn't really see why
I would need to wear headphones to watch
a film when I've got a soundbar but
having tested it if you were watching a
film alone then this gives a super
personal Cinema experience and as the
sound is so spacious I've not felt the
need to take the headphones off for a
break again I've almost forgotten that
they're there in testing we noticed the
volume was a little bit quieter than we
would have liked for TV audio where
we've had the volume around around 50%
for music We Needed 100% for TV audio
but we have reached out to Sonos who
have shared that they are aware of that
and it will be solved in an upcoming
software update now considering how
impressed we've been with the current
performance that final bumping volume
will take it to another level it's easy
to see how it's all working in the app
but my preferred use is to just tap the
button how it all works is just super
nice and simple it's just a bit like the
Apple Vision Pro for me I wouldn't sit
there with my headphones on if someone
else was around but for the times when
I'm alone and want be quiet and this is
something that I'd really look forward
to now I've also tested these out for
gaming as quite a lot of you asked about
that and when gaming with a wide
connection it all works seamlessly I've
played a variety of games including Call
of Duty FIFA and more and simply pluged
straight into the controller with the
USBC to Jack lead and it worked right
away you're still able to use the
headphones as usual SOC Mode still
adjust as normal as the volume controls
and everything else and it offers an
immersive gaming experience especially
when it comes to first person shoot
games like Call of Duty it's really
simple to use these wirelessly too so if
you're gaming over the ark then you just
hold the content key and the audio sends
to your headphones I've not noticed any
latency in my testing either a lot to
test and a lot to cover so let's go back
to my original three questions number
one what are these like as regular
headphones well I think Sonos haven't
just entered the headphone Market with
Sonos a I think they're after the crown
and I'm really looking forward to seeing
how this Ruffles feathers I think they
absolutely compete with some of the
market leaders sound quality is up
therec battery Comfort usability all
consistently delivered they might not be
Head and Shoulders Above the Rest but
even marginal improvements is no small
achievement in a very competitive space
number two what are they like as Sonos
headphones well they might not be as
integrated into the Sonos ecosystem as
some of us had hoped for and for that
reason they might not be Sonos enough
for you I can understand I can also
understand their reasons for these not
being fully integrated I don't think
they set out to appeal only to Sonos
users and therefore they've made sure
that they work well for a Wier use case
but for anyone with one of the
compatible Sono Soundbars I think you'll
really like what they've done with the
TV sound Swap and we're really excited
to see what comes in the future finally
number three would I recommend them over
the competition well we think there will
be some dividing reviews over these
headphones mainly around the pros and
cons of it's current integration into
the Sonos ecosystem but as Standalone
headphones and ecosystem aside these
deliver so where does that leave us with
the competition well having tested all
of these side by side if you gave me
£450 and said pick one and I think I
would go for the Sonos Ace now yes I
could wait to see what the airpods max 2
would bring but they'll likely be500
plus and likely just as heavy if they
stick with that metal design now that
leaves me personally looking at
something like the Bose quiet comfor
Ultras which in the UK right now are
also £
4449 and to be honest the Sonos feel a
more premium package all around this is
similar to the Sony XM 5S but those are
a good option for someone not willing to
part with
£450 now if I was someone with one of
these pairs of headphones on the table
and wondering if I should swap then no I
don't think there's any need to these
aren't going to be a big upgrade from
what you already have but if you are in
the market for a premium pair of
headphones then I would 100% short list
these as I think you might be pleasantly
