After years of speculation, hope, and rumors, Sonos has finally released their Ace ANC headphones at a price that puts them in line with some of the biggest names in the industry. What's surprising though is just how soundly Sonos beats Apple at their own game.
With a bit more experimentation, I found that the Sonos Ace has considerably better Bluetooth range, at least 20-30 feet more than the Apple AirPods Max. Is this due to the fact that it uses Bluetooth 5.4 as opposed to Apple's older 5.0 standard? Possibly, even though official specs say there's no difference in range. But it doesn't matter what the numbers say, the proof is in the fact that I can now walk to every corner of my house and stay connected to my laptop .
But what if you don't use Apple products in your day-to-day? The multi-device option on the Sonos Ace lets you easily connect to two devices at the same time and seamlessly transition between them. It's great for when you're listening to music on your phone but need to switch to your laptop for a meeting. And it's way better than having to manually reconnect every time you switch between devices.
But I was recently listening to music and watching a movie while my daughter entertained seventeen teenagers for an end-of-school bash. What was later described to me as"two hours of endless shrieking" didn't even make a dent in the sonic cocoon of the Sonos Ace. Two of the girls had a whole conversation with the back of my head while I was sitting on the couch and I didn't even realize it until they walked around to check to see if I'd heard them .
