"To me, there's no better way to spend several hours of my time than in a packed airplane, squished next to strangers, 30,000 feet in the air, traversing through time and space. I hate flying (in case you didn't pick up the sarcasm) so a solid pair of headphones to watch hours of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" is a must to make it bearable."
"There are plenty of headphones and earbuds that are great in their own right, but the real test is taking a pair through a major airport and on a flight. Over the past six weeks, I took five pairs of headphones through airports in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York City -- multiple times -- and assessed each of their performance."
"The Sonos Ace are easily the most comfortable pair of over-ear headphones I've worn, even more so than Bose. Although my flight from Atlanta to New York City was only two and a half hours, I could've kept them on for at least four more hours. The Ace have a comfortable and relaxed clamping force, a plushy headband, and spacious earcups padded with memory foam."
Five headphone models (Sonos Ace, Sony WH-1000XM6, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen, AirPods Pro 3, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen) were evaluated across multiple flights and airports in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. Testing prioritized comfort, sound quality, and active noise cancellation under airport PA systems and aircraft engine noise. The Sonos Ace delivered exceptional comfort with memory foam earcups, relaxed clamping force, and dynamic sound with elevated bass and a slight treble bump. A summer software update improved the Ace's ANC for airport noise, though aircraft engine rumble remained perceptible on planes.
