Sonos Ace

Pros
- heard the sonos were comfy but didn’t know about the weight.
- Since the firmware updates, the sound is brilliant.
- Best ANC with good sound: Bose QuietComfort Ultra, apple airpods max, Sonos ace
- Sonos ace: decent sounding, pretty much baby airpods max (so... Get em if you really want good noise canceling, I do think they're a little better sounding than Bose QC ultra)
- Sonos Ace scored identically to the QC Ultra in RTings ANC test.
Cons
- I know what I'm looking for? Sonos Ace (with all their flaws)
- There is absolutely no reason to buy Sonos Ace, XM5 is already not the best sounding and Sonos Ace is a downgrade from that.
- The Black Friday deal for the Ace ($279.99) is a bit tempting but I'm curious. The main draw for me is the Ace's USB-C Jack, which will apparently allow me to listen to Hi Res Lossless on my iPhone 17 pro.
- Only complaint is that the earcup material seems to catch any sweat or stains pretty easily wearing them but they are very easy to clean
- These seem like they have the best build quality and comfort, love how they look. ... This headphones seem like the perfect candidate... only if the reviews of its sound weren't so mixed. A lot of people hate its sound and some people lo...
