Will you ppl please stop comparing everything to apple! Geezus! Xm5s and Bose are the top tier headphones….and you guys are comparing a pair of headphones with a toilet….why?
@richarddcrossley
May 21, 2024 at 11:49 am
Dolby Atmos/spatial audio support for using them in place of a home theatre that’s why. I actually have an A95K so apparently you can get Atmos with XM5 but not the same as buying an Apple TV and using any TV. Best to know what you’re talking about next time. It’s also why many are so annoyed no WiFi option.

Why are headphones looking stupider and stupider? These are practically a helmet.
@ivo_huth
May 21, 2024 at 12:36 pm
Are they also controlled by their great, fantastic brand new app full of features? Or are they more like something you can put on your head to cancel ambient sound or listen to the weather forecast, and will playing music or so come in an update later this year?

May 21, 2024 at 1:03 pm
Can you really trust Sonos after their most recent software release fiasco? They have demonstrated they really are a company that doesn’t care about customer service, and they are willing to remove features/functions at any time, for any reason, and couldn’t care less what the customer thinks. They are only chasing the next sale. Buyer beware.

Too expensive for what’s offered. There are much better options for this price point and cheaper

No. They work like any Bluetooth headphones

So just one more “same as” looking pair of headphones in a (way) overcrowded mid-tier market. Someone line up all the competitors except AirPods Max and take a picture. Even Sennheiser caved to the flat, boring look. Nothing I’ve read suggests that people at the event who tested the audio quality were in any way blown away. I’m interested in the in-depth review, but fully expecting… go up market to the Focal Bathys at $699, or stick with the Sony WH’s.

Been looking to get a new pair of anc headphones, and these look promising. Looking forward to hearing how they sound. Hopefully they’ll be on display somewhere.

Hey, I really like your profile and your posts, and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.

Total miss to not integrate better (outside of HT) local Sonos system. Just another set of headphones, I have had Sonos for years many products, but this feels like a ‘meh’. For them to be an all day pair, also need Teams, Zoom etc. support.

Can 2 of these simultaneously pull audio from a single SONOS Arc… like 2 AirPods Max can with Apple TV? So the wife and I can watch a movie at different sound levels.

The ONLY differentiator (and that is quickly going away) is their use of Snap Dragon Lossless – but… how many people have a mobile device (much less a home audio device) that supports it? basically a way over priced BT headphone – one of hundreds on the market.

These look really good but I think I’m going to stick with my AirPods Max until Apple comes out with a V2 which will probably be never.
