These would've been perfect. They have the looks (low profile yet distinct), usability (love the content button), Sound Quality (sound signature that you would expect from a Sonos), codec support , comfort in terms of weight and clamping, EXCEPT - the vegan leather/foam used for the earpads is not at all breathable and heats up the ears quickly. Look at what KEF MU7 has used - breathable vegan leather that actually works.
One of the main reasons why I wanted one of the over the noise canceling headphones is because I make a lot of work phone calls, but I also like having them for listening to music or movies as well. I know it is mostly personal preference but what is your Preference between the AirPod Max and the Sonos Ace?
Also, do you wear either of them for long period of time? If so, which one seems to be most comfortable for long periods of time?

Great article. I picked up a pair right away and now I have some testing to do to decide if I like these or the AirPod Max better
I did try these with my Sonos Beam 2 and the audio swapping works seamlessly.
Sonos updated Ace's TV Audio Swap to work with Andorid and its more affordable soundbars so we'll update our review 🙂 Glad you're enjoying them too!
