Do you have the Sennheiser Momentum 4 to compare with the Sonos Ace?

[@user-dh6kg3kg7f]

Now that was a great test of the mic. Gives me better perspective. It's not just about cancelling background noise. It's about retaining your voice. The Sonos Ace let some audio in,. but it was still possible to understand what you were saying on the train. With the XM5, it removed all background noice incluiding your own voice :)

[@GeekCulture]

Thank you and yup! I was initially worried I screwed up the field test for the Sonys but I realised that it really was the case.

[@rmsanchez77]

One comment - I just purchased the SONOS ACE and I am able to use them while they are plugged in. Also can you compare them to the Bowers and Wilkens PX7 or PX8?

[@VincentSohail]

Can you please do more Logic Pro tests for m2 Mac book air there are very few on UA-cam

[@bcat103]

Great review! I was quite worried when they released this Sonos as it might be better than my XM5’s, thank God, the latter still comes out of the top. Indeed it is the gold standard for noise cancelling earphones.

[@GeekCulture]

Thanks for watching!

[@BladeRunnerJP11]

Do you think the sound quality of the Sony are on par with the Sonos???

[@GeekCulture]

It’s more like the other way around! The Sonos are better in some but not all ways that the XM5s are soundwise. Both are enjoyable , the Sonos offer slightly better clarity in the mids and highs but lack the oomph of the bass in Sonys.

I recently bought the Sonos there actually comparable to my xM5 I think noise cancellation is pretty good not on the level of the m5 but it’s close sound quality on the Sonos are actually pretty good bass heads probably not gonna like it but it really does push the Vocals and they have some good clarity but for 450$ Ion think it’s worth that much 350$ would be fine

[@football_prediction]

Sony xm6 would reply
Airpod max would be the best later

[@victorcontreras5703]

WHY DOES NOBODY EVER MENTION WHICH ONE GETS LOUDER??

[@suprememaster1951]

Because many of the reviewers’ opinions are bought by Sonos.

[@davidb9531]

Because they don’t want you to go deaf ?

[@GeekCulture]

Do you mean which of the two is louder? That would be the Sony's.

[@Marco-em2in]

Sonos had time to make their headphones the best just by listening to the best ones on the market and having someone with good ears test their samples and say this is better and then release them. But I don’t think that’s how things work. It just shows how a company can have all the time in the world and all the intel/ info to make their product the best and still come up short because the other companies have more experience and knowledge. Maybe Sonos will keep improving with their next product and gain the experience the other companies have they are the best when it comes to soundbars tho.

[@joareza1915]

I dont enjoy loud bass sounds so you think for me Sonos will go better?

[@user-xu9iq5eb7x]

Get the xm5 and lower the bass eq in the app

[@joareza1915]

@@user-xu9iq5eb7x Went to a store and actually the Sony were better for my taste, not to mention the price!

[@arthurelakano6905]

Sonos copied sony and airpodq max definitely!!
