@cuerex8580

Ай бұрын

in my opinion mkbhd's reviews are quite unique in how he takes perspective. i think he is more concerned about "would a normal consumer get an overall good impression?" kind of experience, that picks up necessary quirks that enthusiasts also miss sometimes. ANC experiences seem vary varied on the Ace though for some reason... there might be build quality issues involved by now.

And AirPods Max

Best channel for headphones reviews. Awesome video very informative. I have the MAX and I'm listening in Atmos and recently got the Bose Ultra. The Bose don't do immersive Atmos content like the Maxes. Apple is on the front with that technology. Are the Sonos good in Atmos?

@aaronloudnwireless

Ай бұрын

Thank you! As far as I know, it only does Atmos decoding through the Sonos Arc for now. I was watching Dolby Digital stuff on the Apple TV app though (iPhone), and the sound objects felt very distinct and localizable.

I'll stick to my Momentum 4's. While the ANC may not be the best of the best, it's still miles ahead of my older noise cancelling headphones. Additionally, the sound quality is phenomenal after using the custom tuning in the app. Every delicate vocal detail is present and good vocals are just silky smooth. The deep bass extension is impressive and the highs are present and clear while being subdued just a hair to reduce long term listening fatigue. The microphone performance in noisy environments is actually what I prefer. The upper mids shine through much clearer than other headphones that get too aggressive with noise reduction. I'd much rather trade a little bit of background noise for clarity in that super important intelligibility range so that callers can understand what I'm saying. I've been on the other end of calls when users had headphones with aggressive noise canceling and it's AWFUL to try to understand what they're saying. Sure, I can't hear their environment, but I can't understand them either. That defeats the purpose. The Momentum 4's just seem to balance all those ancillary features just right, while maintaining EXCELLENT audio quality for listening - which is the main purpose of headphones.

You definitely said a mouthful. How do they sound for making calls? Crystal Clear?

Only paid 200 USD for my XM4 a year ago and they are so comfortable, sound good with EQ tuning, and the noise cancelling is so good sometimes I forget I live in the city.

Does the xm4 have better sound quality than the Sonos? Also how do they compare with Dolby atmos?

Sounds like a good headphone from Sonos for their first pair of headphones. I'm currently looking for noise cancelling headphones for long haul flights but at the current price of the XM5 I can't justify the price for the Sonos

Sony WH-1000XM5 currently heavily discounted in anticipation of newer version.

Watching several reviews with this one cranking up the base to maximum and others to minimum it makes it hard to make a judgement.

I have a terrible addiction to over-the-ear headphones and my collection is nearly two dozen. I find it's more fun to have all the decent name guys and embrace what they do well. Depending on what I'm doing, I use different cans. But if I'm honest, I most frequently rotate through the M4s, XM5s, XM4s, Ultras, QC45s, and Technics for casual listening. Or the Bose Studio 3s and Pros for the gym.

Great review bro, for me the M4 Sound better overall 😊

Great review, but scratching my head wondering why you didn’t include the most obvious comparison - Airpods Max but included 2 pairs of Sony XM’s. The APM are so similar in build, design, features, price point etc they really should have been included. Maybe your going to compare at a later date 🤷🏻‍♂️.

It should compare with Bose ultra headphone. Now their war from soundbar move to headphone

I'm spoiled with Sony's bass!

The biggest problem i have with the sonos Ace is, they don't keep the frequency signature the same, when changing Modes from ANC to Normal to transparency.. that's a complete immersion breaker for me. the Airpods Max does it right. but the Max lack a solid equalizer to perfect the frequency response so that's no choice for me because i 99% listen to music when wearing headphones and want to get immersed by it.

Love your reviews!!

Is black or soft white better for Sonos Ace?

To me, these sub 500 dollar headphones are very similar from one to the other. So far, I'm keeping my B&O h95 but Sonos may change my mind due to its comfort wearability.

Weak bass and narrow soundstage? That's very disappointing! If we bump up the bass in the EQ, does it get to the Sony XM5 default level?

is the ANC still always turned on in the Momentum 4 or can you turn it off?

If you want to block out those annoying city leaf blowers that blow so the whole block to hear them get the wavelet app. Its worth every penny. I recommend turning it to the default eq on the sony headphone app. You can customize the eq to your needs. And you delect auto eq. Its a much better experience. Youre like me. Seem to hate neighbors and public works. When they rev shit too early.

Waterway point 😂 nice

Sound quality comparisons are so subjective. While you may favor the Sonos for its "more exciting" sound (?), others will think the Sony or M4 is "more exciting" because they both have significantly more low-end punch.

Whelp, judging by your sound samples, the Sonos have almost as much noise floor as the XM4. In 2024 that's a deal breaker for me. Which is a shame, because i would probably like the sound - the Sonys sound more muddy to me than Beats (!), even with the bass turned down.

Sonos Ace sound lacking in umph. quite bright and thin

My thoughts exactly, Sennheiser sounded best, Listened on Sennheiser HD660s through iFi Zen Dac v2, Balanced Out, with my custom clarity EQ. Sennheisers had clear layering, with the vocals being clearly separate, while sonos blended them into the same plane.

I feel like XM4, and then XM5 greater in term of sound quality compared to rest :D sorry but SONOS is too much American sound signature :D kinda Bose, apple, beats which means, not dark or warm. or not deep bass, mids too high, not good for every type of music SONY far better for sound quality. so as I see all the hype in market , again marketing :D

the sonos ace have a big issue actually with keeping the sound signature steady in each mode.. ANC, Normal and Transparency sound completely different each their own.. what a shame.

Honestly, why will someone pay $450 for these Sonos when to really benefit from them, you have to be in the Sonos "Close-System", while most are already in that of Apple, and for those who are not there, Sony or other Sennheiser exist and do not have "Close-System" constraints, frankly, why 🤷🏽‍♂️ Today, all manufacturers want to have their "Close-System", none realize that the only winner at the end of this crazy race will be Apple, and perhaps Google to a certain extent 🤦🏽‍♂️
