  • Sonos has just announced the release of the new Ace, a pair of cinema first headphones. Why cinema first? Watch the full video to find out. This is about as much as I have learned about the Sonos Ace from the product announcement held for the media. I even had a dedicated session with Scott who is the product lead for Sonos Home theatre product line up and he gave me such insights and answered so many of my questions on the Sonos Ace! Enjoy this video where I share ALL that I have learned about the new product from Sonos!

    Really looking froward to getting my pair, your pre release information made up my mind up to go ahead. I have the Arc with Era 300 surrounds and a Sub so the Ace will get plenty of use when watching movies and also when listening to music. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making such great content its really appreciated!

  • @aevgarcia
    @aevgarcia 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    My only biggest concern, is getting it to do the music hand-off with Sonos Move, Era 300, maybe Era 100, and the fives. These are the devices in my opinion that are most commonly used with a record player (I use a move with my victrola stream so I can pick up around the house). Having the record player playback on the ace would be sweet! Also airplay being added hopefully would be software limited.
    These are the only two things stopping me. Now if I had a kid, I could probably overlook these, but fairly large alienation for Sonos die hards.
    Last note, for people crying about many things, the Ace has more features than nearly every sub $500 headphones.... So don't let the minor flaws outshine how great these are compared to their product category.

They have an Arc setup already (they asked me what to get so they could get enough volume for him to hear), so I was thinking if they could have 2 of these connected at once they could both listen to the TV at a volume suitable to each of them.

    Peter, you are still the best Sonos reviewer out there, bar none. Your explanation of how the Ace uses Wifi vs bluetooth was the best I've come across. Given I have the complete Arc setup and live on a condo with upstairs neighbors, I'm really looking forward to trying out their True Cinema capability. So yes, I am definitely one of Sono's target customers. My pre-order is in. Btw, I received an email from Sonos back in March marking my 3-year anniversary of my Arc purchase. Included was a 15% discount code off my next purchase which expires next month. I held on to it for this very occasion so including tax I scored a pair for just over $400. Everything went according to plan :).

    I have an entire Sonos house with three full setups in various rooms; so, the idea of the sound swap when my wife goes to bed is fantastic, but really only if I’m watching a 4k UHD disc. All our setups have an Apple TV, and I do have a pair of the Airpod Max. I’m curious if the swap feature, or the sound quality itself, will justify the purchase…
    That said, I already pre-ordered them! I hope I don’t have to use that return period!

  • @kenshinesca
    @kenshinesca 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Seems similar to Apple tv 4k + airpod pro 2/airpod max/beats studio pro/beats fit pro all of these have very good atmos playback with the apple tv 4k. They have very convincing surround capability. The Beats Studio Pro are actually a bargain for atmos sound, I bought some different earpads to make them a bit more comfortable and am really enjoying them now. The thing that sucks about these Sonos Ace headphones is that you have to have a Sonos soundbar to take advantage of the cinema features. It is similar to having to buy an Apple tv 4k to take advantage of the airpods/beats but the Sonos path is more expensive.

    I do want to tell you what my first thought was, when I saw these headphones : Can I play the headphones AND the speakers at the same time - because my stepfather is very hard of hearing and my mother is very sensitive to loud sounds. If they could use the ARC for her, and the headphones at different volumes, that would be AMAZING for both of them!
    I'm kind of sad that isn't a possibility. Perhaps Sonos will allow it in the future.

    So you have to make a choice: sound through TV or headphones. The added value is precisely when your partner can watch TV with sound through ARC and at the same time you can listen Music at the Sonos platform through the headphones.

    I want to start with my particular case, as an android user. Android features are the 2nd on Sonos priority list. They did that with True play, and still no extended true play on android. Second, I was a little bit disappointed with the "no Wifi playback", I understand the battery problem on wifi, but you need to pay $450.00 + sound bar to be able to play HD music on your Sonos Ace (at least I would like to have the wifi feature and let me decide to use it or not.). And this is my 3rd problem, and this is not a sonos problem, Samsung doesn't support APTX-HD on their android phones, just LDAC and single APTX, so I cannot use the ACE to listen "HD" music via just my android phone. I see the Sonos ACE as I see the Sony playstation portal, You need a ps5 to be able to use it correctly, (in this case the soud bar) or else you can do with the ACE what you do with any other headset. I hope that they at least allow any other sonos product to do the Wifi p2p option (eras 300 eras 100).

    • @PeterPee
      @PeterPee  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The APTX version is adaptive. So it prioritises latency (to minimise it) and in some cases where there is a good strong connection, it could get close to APTX-HD.

      Not sure. Have to try it out. But if it is Atmos, it will play in spatial audio. Not sure about the bandwidth. Though I suspect there's more than sufficient bandwidth for hi-res stereo if it can handle multi-channel audio. But there might be a chance that the Arc compresses it to stereo before sending it over.

    I’m curious about using these with hearing aids. There IS a market for grouping headphones with theater and other speakers because even the best Bluetooth hearing aids don’t personalize speech sounds / side to side balance / nor transition well between phone / bluetooth devices. I would love to listen to headphones WITH my hearing aids already correcting, vs putting in AirPods and having to switch listening profiles each time. No one else in my family needs the extra listening help, the soundbar and speakers are fine. But the grouping or the option to use the headphones at the same time would be so helpful to me. Any ideas on using these with hearing aids in general? Sizing etc?

    If I had to buy a pair now I'd get these. But, it's really hard to justify switching from my Sony WH-1000XM5... I have a "all Sonos home", including a Sonos Arc, the idea of simply transferring the Atmos audio from the Arc to the headphones is great, but I can already set my PC to play Atmos for headphones (yes in Bluetooth VS Wifi so audio is probably more compressed). Am I missing something? Thanks and cheers!

    As an Apple user and in the eco system I use the AirPod Max with my Apple TV but it sounds like these Sonos headphones are a waste of time as you need an arc to get the true cinema experience from them. I don’t like using the AirPod Max for travel as they’re too heavy on the head and was hoping to purchase the new Sonos Ace ones but don’t see the point now or am I missing something? May have to just purchase the Bose QC ultras instead. These headphones are obviously great if you’re in the Sonos ecosystem.

    Existing users with multi room setups who have no interest in soundbars have been completely shut out of this release. The users that helped build this community are those that have been screaming for Sonos headphones for years. This product will be viewed by many as Bluetooth headphones with a Sonos badge and no more. This is a hugely disappointing tone deaf release and proves they aren’t listening to their customers, ignoring the ecosystem is ignoring the thing that makes you different. I have 8 Sonos products scattered around the house and this works with precisely none of them.

    TV audio swap only works with iOS. Also, not having any kind of room grouping (even if limited to no Atmos) and being entirely limited to soundbars, is a big bummer for those of us who are Amp users. If it sounds better than the AirPods Max, I’ll buy it, but they haven’t really implemented many Sonos killer features so it’s going to have to beat Apple on sound.

    • @PeterPee

    Peter, I find that this was a missed opportunity for Sonos to lean into more personal home theater scenarios given the trend towards watching movies on mobile and laptop devices, and even the Apple Vision Pro (AVP). While I understand that the AVP is not yet released in Singapore yet, as a fellow Singaporean living in the US, I currently own one and it is a game changer to how future media consumption looks like. Handicapping the spatial audio features of the Ace to the Arc and future sound bars therefore seems shortsighted. In fact, I recently sold my Arc, Sub, and surrounds after getting the AVP since there wasn't a need for it anymore (movies, especially 3D ones, are far more immersive with the AVP), and the AVP is much more portable especially if you're mostly on the move, or are renting and may not have the space or may need to relocate in the future.
