Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless
Sonos Ace
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless and the Sonos Ace are both premium models, and deciding between them comes down to the details. They're equally comfortable and well-built, with outstanding ANC systems. However, the Bose headphones have better overall microphone performance, and their app offers slightly more customization options. You can adjust their sound using the graphic EQ or presets. Their virtual soundstage feature is also more nuanced than simply on/off, as you can select whether you want the virtual speakers to remain stationary or follow your head movements. If you're already a Sonos user, you'll get the most out of the Sonos headphones, especially if you have a compatible soundbar. You can use the TV Swap Audio feature to receive audio from your soundbar, although some audio delay is present. However, there have been reports from users regarding issues with the app's functionality.
