Sonos Ace Headphones: May be more than you think!


Userlevel 7

Hello

Lots of chatter (if you can call it that) about the Sonos App. I need not go into detail as to what the general consensus is about it. However that’s not what this post is about. Moving on….

Let’s talk Sonos Ace Headphones. Many are disappointed because they cannot be used as a room in the Sonos ecosystem and therefore view them mainly as expensive me-to Bluetooth cans.

Below are links to three (3) first impression videos. Take a look. You may find reasons to try them on a trial basis (or not). Enjoy!

Air pod max are bluetooth headphones. They will happily run from your smart TV. You do NOT need an Apple TV box to use them. You can use them anywhere.

You need ATV box if you want Dolby Atmos. That was the point. 😉

Have a few - have no Arc and never will now.  Sonos has become a hack company - was good for a long run, but I feel like I have an expensive, buggy, cobbled together system now.  It is broken so badly, I just can’t imagine them fixing it in any reasonable time frame, even if that’s the plan - it’s a pipe dream. They have F’d the firmware and appware beyond belief and for what?  Chucking another several hundred $$$ at them for more - man, they have suckered me plenty already.  I’m on to them now.
