They really missed an opportunity to differentiate themselves from other headphones when they decided to not add wifi streaming at home. Like, that's what you do Sonos! That would have been a game changer to be able to stream high res music over your network at home without be tethered to your phone. Keep all the bluetooth stuff while away from home and then connect to your network when you walk in the door, never have to take them off....big disappointment.

Been looking to get a new pair of anc headphones, and these look promising. Looking forward to hearing how they sound. Hopefully they'll be on display somewhere.

Listening to this review on AirPod Max’s!

Gpt the white on preorder and am on a crazy rewatch of all videos I can find 😂...long week ahead. Hope they surprise is with early delivery

Are those headphone stands also made by Sonos?

I might have to try this for the first time.

Are they also controlled by their great, fantastic brand new app full of features? Or are they more like something you can put on your head to cancel ambient sound or listen to the weather forecast, and will playing music or so come in an update later this year?

Lack of wifi streaming support is such an absurd miss for a Sonos product...

Hey, I’m new today Sonos market, I had Bose 700s for two years until I lost them, what is the listening to WiFi? Sounds like a big deal

The ONLY differentiator (and that is quickly going away) is their use of Snap Dragon Lossless - but... how many people have a mobile device (much less a home audio device) that supports it? basically a way over priced BT headphone - one of hundreds on the market.

Total miss to not integrate better (outside of HT) local Sonos system. Just another set of headphones, I have had Sonos for years many products, but this feels like a 'meh'. For them to be an all day pair, also need Teams, Zoom etc. support.

Apple: Here’s my homework, you can copy it but don’t make it noticeable. Sonos:

So it doesn’t connect to your Sonos network, so what’s the point? Better looking headphones out there, cheaper ones and other providers that can make there app work. I have a heap of Sonos gear so I would be a target customer. But it’s a hard pass for me and honestly after the latest app update I’m thinking of ditching Sonos.

There might be a work around. There is a wifi chip in the headphones that connects to the ARC to play TV. I would assume you could stream your spotify or whatever to the ARC and then push the button to bypass it to your headphones.

CNET clean your sensors.

I hope they support Sonos Amp at some point. I have an outdoor speaker setup in my backyard. These headphones would fit well in that ecosystem.

Complete disappointment. Not a single feature that would differentiate them meaningfully from AirPods Max or Bose, no wifi for true lossless, doesn't integrate with an existing Sonos system, and handoff is dependent on your soundbar instead of having it be system-wide like with AppleTV and AirPods. Sonos has dropped the ball in so many ways it's shocking.

Dolby Atmos/spatial audio support for using them in place of a home theatre that’s why.

So just one more "same as" looking pair of headphones in a (way) overcrowded mid-tier market. Someone line up all the competitors except AirPods Max and take a picture. Even Sennheiser caved to the flat, boring look. Nothing I've read suggests that people at the event who tested the audio quality were in any way blown away. I'm interested in the in-depth review, but fully expecting... go up market to the Focal Bathys at $699, or stick with the Sony WH's.

Bose and Sony do this better at half the cost.
