You know, you've got the Sonys, you've got the Bose, there's the AirPods Max, and then kind of the rest.

你知道，有 Sonys，有 Bose，有 AirPods Max，還有其他產品。

But now, player four has entered the game, Sonos.

但現在，第四個玩家加入了遊戲，那就是 Sonos。

So you've probably heard of Sonos.

所以，你可能聽說過 Sonos。

They've been making these premium soundbars for years.

多年來，他們一直在生產這種高級音響。

That's been their most popular product.

這是他們最受歡迎的產品。

And everyone just kind of figured they would eventually get into headphones.

大家都覺得他們最終會戴上耳機。

It was just a matter of when and how much.

只是時間和數量的問題。

Because that's the thing about Sonos speakers is they are premium.

因為 Sonos 揚聲器的特點就是優質。

They're very expensive.

它們非常昂貴。

And so now here, it's obviously interesting enough that it's a new player, but they're also now expensive.

是以，現在這裡有了一個新玩家，顯然足夠有趣，但他們現在也很昂貴。

$450 Bluetooth noise canceling headphones.

450 美元的藍牙降噪耳機。

So at that price, the question is, are they actually worth getting?

那麼問題來了，這個價格真的值得購買嗎？

So I've been using the Sonos Ace headphones for more than a month now.

我使用 Sonos Ace 耳機已經一個多月了。

I've edited videos with them.

我用它們剪輯過視頻。

I've listened to a lot of music.

我聽過很多音樂。

I've gone on flights and turns out they're really solid and they do have some really nice features, but there are also definitely some downsides.

我曾乘坐過這些班機，事實證明它們非常可靠，而且確實有一些非常不錯的功能，但也肯定存在一些缺點。

And there's really only a small group of people that I would actually recommend these to.

實際上，只有一小部分人我會向他們推薦這個產品。

But let me just start with the basics, right?

但我還是從最基本的開始說起吧？

So these are the headphones.

這就是耳機。

They are mostly made of plastic and that is totally normal in this price range because that makes them super lightweight and comfortable.

它們大多由塑膠製成，在這個價格範圍內這是完全正常的，因為這使得它們超級輕便舒適。

And that is one of these headphones best assets for sure.

這無疑是這款耳機的最大優勢之一。

So they're really flexible for different head sizes and shapes.

是以，它們非常靈活，適用於不同的頭部大小和形狀。

And the top headband is really soft.

頂部的頭帶非常柔軟。

The ear cups are also removable and they snap on and off with magnets.

耳罩也是可拆卸的，用磁鐵吸合。

And they're also really soft.

它們也非常柔軟。

So ideally you can replace these ear cups when they get old.

是以，理想的情況是，當這些耳罩老化時，您可以更換它們。

And by the way, I like that they have a different color mesh for the right and left side.

順便說一句，我喜歡左右兩邊不同顏色的網眼。

So you can tell at a glance which one is which.

這樣你就能一眼看出哪個是哪個。

Also same with the black colored version.

黑色版本也是如此。

That's kind of a neat touch.

這是一種巧妙的點綴。

The shape of these cups is normal and they're so soft.

這些杯子的形狀很正常，而且非常柔軟。

But I feel like the one thing I want is for these ear cups to be a bit more deep.

但我覺得我希望耳罩的深度能再深一些。

I mean, when they are on my ears, they're fine, but they're just a little bit shallow and my ear is like touching the inside of it.

我的意思是，當它們貼在我耳朵上時，它們很好，只是有點淺，我的耳朵就像碰到了它的內側。

So that's maybe my only fit complaint, but everything else about the way they wear is great.

這也許是我唯一的不滿，但其他方面都很好。

I think aesthetically, they look like a combo between the Sonys and the Microsoft Surface headphones.

我覺得從外觀上看，它們像是索尼和微軟 Surface 耳機的組合。

I don't know if you remember those, but they had that matte off-white look.

我不知道你是否還記得那些東西，但它們看起來都是啞光的米白色。

And then with the frictionless stainless steel bands that AirPods Max have, that kind of completes the look.

再加上 AirPods Max 所配備的無摩擦不鏽鋼錶帶，外觀就更完美了。

Overall, pretty simple though.

總的來說，還是很簡單的。

Not too much branding, not too many crazy accent pieces, just good looking and good feeling headphones.

沒有過多的品牌標識，沒有過多瘋狂的配飾，只有好看又好用的耳機。

Here's where I start to have complaints though.

不過，我開始抱怨的地方就在這裡。

So this is the case that it comes with.

這就是它的包裝盒。

Pretty simple design.

設計非常簡單。

It's like this recycled material and it's got a different color inside versus outside.

它就像一種再生材料，內部和外部的顏色不同。

But this zipper right here is so annoying.

但是這條拉鍊太煩人了。

It's just maybe nitpicking, but how often it gets snagged on the way opening or closing it is very annoying.

也許這只是吹毛求疵，但它在打開或關閉時經常被卡住，這一點非常惱人。

So I wish it was either thicker or just smoother.

是以，我希望它要麼更厚一些，要麼更光滑一些。

And then the headphones do not fold down at all to fit inside.

然後，耳機根本無法摺疊放進去。

And matter of fact, if you have them extended, they still don't fit inside the case.

事實上，如果您把它們拉長，它們還是無法裝進箱子裡。

So you have to fully collapse them and then just place them in there.

所以，你必須把它們完全摺疊起來，然後直接放進去。

So they don't really pack down very small, unfortunately.

不幸的是，它們的體積並不小。

There is also a little floating pouch thing here in the middle of the case for cables that like magnetizes in, which is pretty clever.

機箱中間還有一個浮動小袋，可以磁化電纜，非常巧妙。

Aside from that though, for as premium as these headphones are,

除此以外，雖然這些耳機都很高級，上等，但它們的價格卻並不便宜、

I just feel like the case doesn't really match up for $450.

我只是覺得，450 美元的價格與外殼並不匹配。

I just gotta be honest.

我得實話實說。

I wish that the case was better.

我希望箱子能好一些。

But then buttons, good to see real buttons.

但是鈕釦，很高興看到真正的鈕釦。

So on the left ear cup, there's just one button.

左側耳罩上只有一個按鈕。

That's a real power button.

這是一個真正的電源按鈕。

So you hold that for three seconds to turn it on or off or hold seven seconds to pair.

是以，按住 3 秒鐘即可打開或關閉，或者按住 7 秒鐘即可配對。

Then on the right side is a button and a switch.

右側是一個按鈕和一個開關。

So the button is basically a switch between noise cancellation and transparency mode.

是以，這個按鈕基本上就是在降噪和透明模式之間切換。

Then up top is this kind of a rocker switch slash button.

頂部是一個搖桿開關斜槓按鈕。

It's called the content key because it controls all your media, but you slide it up or down to change volume.

之所以稱為內容鍵，是因為它控制著所有媒體，但上下滑動可改變音量。

And then you can press to play pause or double press to go forward.

然後你可以按下播放暫停，或雙擊前進。

So basically that rocker controls everything.

是以，搖桿基本上可以控制一切。

I think in general,

我想一般來說

I don't know, Scott, most of the fundamentals right with these headphones as far as design goes, thankfully.

我不知道，斯科特，幸好這些耳機在設計方面的基本要素都是正確的。

Like nothing critically wrong with them.

就像他們沒有什麼嚴重的問題一樣。

They're pretty minimal.

它們非常小。

It's got the smooth stepless adjustment.

它具有平滑的無級調節功能。

These are some of the lightest, softest specially headphones I've ever worn.

這是我戴過的最輕、最柔軟的特製耳機。

I think with deeper ear cups, they're probably an A plus.

我認為，如果耳罩更深一些，它們可能是 A plus。

They have a rock solid 40 plus hour battery life.

它們的電池壽命長達 40 多個小時，堅如磐石。

They have multi-point Bluetooth connectivity.

它們具有多點藍牙連接功能。

So you can connect them to two different

是以，您可以將它們連接到兩個不同的

Bluetooth devices at once.

藍牙設備。

So we might as well just get right into how they sound.

是以，我們不妨直接進入它們的聲音。

So these are closed back, active noise cancellation, over ear headphones.

這是一款封閉式主動降噪耳罩式耳機。

They have custom 40 millimeter drivers and eight microphones positioned all the way around for noise cancellation and the pass through mode.

它們有定製的 40 毫米驅動器和 8 個麥克風，可用於消除噪音和直通模式。

I do think these headphones sound good.

我確實覺得這些耳機聲音不錯。

Now they are not mind blowing, world beating or anything crazy like that.

現在，它們並不是什麼震撼人心、震驚世界之類的瘋狂之作。

They are still constrained by physics and Bluetooth codex, but they have a nice full sound with great bass all the way through strong highs.

它們仍然受到物理和藍牙法典的限制，但音質飽滿，從低音到高音都很出色。

At first, I thought they sounded a little muddier than AirPods Max, but you can brighten them right up by jumping in the EQ settings in the extremely neutered Sonos app.

起初，我覺得它們聽起來比 AirPods Max 更渾濁一些，但你可以在極度閹割的 Sonos 應用程序中跳轉均衡器設置，讓它們變得明亮起來。

And that's where you can mess with just a couple other very basic things like on head detection and head tracking surround sound.

在這裡，你還可以處理其他一些非常基本的事情，比如頭部檢測和頭部跟蹤環繞聲。

But like, yeah, look, the EQ is literally just a bass slider and a treble slider.

但是，你看，均衡器實際上就是一個低音滑塊和一個高音滑塊。

So I hope they add to this at some point, but at least you can change that.

是以，我希望他們能在某個時候添加新內容，但至少你可以改變這一點。

The most impressive thing really about their sound

他們的聲音最令人印象深刻的是

I think is the noise cancellation.

我認為是噪音消除功能。

It is really, really good.

它真的非常非常棒。

It basically erases any sort of white noise, air conditioning, droning, road noise.

它基本上可以消除任何形式的白噪聲、空調聲、嗡嗡聲和路噪聲。

Like they are incredible for airplanes and they can absorb even some of the more sudden noise changes as well.

就像它們對飛機來說不可思議一樣，它們甚至還能吸收一些更突然的噪音變化。

I think this is A plus noise cancellation in my book.

我認為這就是我心目中的 A 級降噪。

And then to my surprise, they also have some of the best transparency mode

讓我驚訝的是，他們還擁有一些最好的透明模式

I've heard in anything that's not AirPods.

我聽說過任何不是 AirPods 的東西。

Really natural sounding for having regular conversations with their headphones on.

戴上耳機進行普通對話時，聲音非常自然。

You can hear the environment around you.

您可以聽到周圍環境的聲音。

They call it aware mode.

他們稱之為 "感知模式"。

This is also great.

這也很棒。

So I've been saying all these nice things.

所以我一直在說這些好話。

They clearly, they sound good.

顯然，它們聽起來不錯。

They look good.

它們看起來不錯。

They have all these good features, good noise cancellation.

它們具有所有這些良好的功能，降噪效果好。

They're very comfortable.

它們非常舒適。

So what's with the title?

標題是怎麼回事？

So here's the thing.

事情是這樣的

The reason everyone was waiting for Sonos to do headphones is because Sonos already makes these awesome speakers.

之所以大家都在等 Sonos 做耳機，是因為 Sonos 已經生產出了非常棒的揚聲器。

They have a reputation with these internet connected speaker systems that are a hit.

他們的這些聯網揚聲器系統聲名遠播，深受歡迎。

Like I have a Sonos Arc at home and it sounds great.

比如我家裡有一臺 Sonos Arc，聽起來就很不錯。

It's awesome.

太棒了

I think aside from what they did to the app, they're fantastic.

我認為，除了他們對應用程序所做的改動之外，他們都很棒。

You connect to various music slash media sources and you can stream them to the speaker systems in high quality.

您可以連接各種音樂和媒體資源，並將其高質量地串流到揚聲器系統中。

You can also obviously connect them to your TV.

顯然，您還可以將它們連接到電視上。

They're great.

他們很棒。

And so naturally, I think we'd all like to have a new pair of Sonos headphones that can join right into the ecosystem and connect in the Sonos app to be another one of our sets of Sonos speakers and have all the same functionality.

是以，我想我們都希望能有一副新的 Sonos 耳機，可以直接加入生態系統，通過 Sonos 應用程序連接，成為我們的另一套 Sonos 揚聲器，並擁有所有相同的功能。

Unfortunately, they can't.

遺憾的是，他們做不到。

These are not wifi connected headphones.

這不是無線連接耳機。

They're just regular, they're Bluetooth headphones.

它們只是普通的藍牙耳機。

So what you can do is when you're home, you can connect the headphones straight to the speakers.

是以，當你在家時，可以將耳機直接連接到揚聲器。

And then you can quickly swap between the Arc speaker and the headphones with a single tap of the content button.

只需輕點內容按鈕，就能在 Arc 揚聲器和耳機之間快速切換。

So when they're connected, you can swap back and forth between watching TV with the speakers and with the headphones pretty seamlessly.

是以，當它們連接起來時，你可以在用揚聲器看電視和用耳機看電視之間無縫切換。

But the headphones themselves are not actually wifi enabled.

但實際上，耳機本身並不支持無線網絡。

Like they're not going to pull anything from any streaming services directly to the headphones like some Sonos speaker systems might.

就像他們不會像某些 Sonos 揚聲器系統那樣，直接將流媒體服務中的任何內容傳輸到耳機上一樣。

So that's the bummer.

這就是我的遺憾。

And honestly, I think it's probably a battery issue why they aren't able to pull it off on these.

老實說，我認為這可能是電池的問題，因為他們無法在這些產品上實現這一點。

And this all might not even be a big deal to almost anyone because basically no other pair of headphones has that ability yet anyway.

而這一切對幾乎所有人來說可能都不是什麼大事，因為無論如何，基本上還沒有其他耳機具備這種功能。

But for a new $450 pair of Sonos headphones, kind of thought maybe they'd be able to pull it off, but they didn't.

不過，對於一副價值 450 美元的 Sonos 耳機來說，我還以為他們能做到這一點，但事實並非如此。

Which means they kind of, to me now, feel like almost an overpriced version of the Sonys that already exist.

這意味著，現在對我來說，它們給人的感覺就像是已經存在的 Sonys 的高價版本。

And I'm talking about the Mark 4s, not even the Mark 5s, which kind of felt like almost a little bit of a pointless upgrade.

我說的是馬克 4 型，而不是馬克 5 型，因為馬克 5 型的升級有點毫無意義。

Now, I actually recently made an upgrade that I was curious if it would actually make a noticeable difference to me or not.

現在，我最近進行了一次升級，我很好奇它是否真的會給我帶來明顯的不同。

I've been using the Eight Sleep Pod 3 for a couple of years now.

我使用 Eight Sleep Pod 3 已經有好幾年了。

And I recently upgraded to the Pod 4 and turns out it's actually pretty sick.

我最近升級到了 Pod 4，結果發現它真的非常棒。

So the Eight Sleep, it was already really good at sleep tracking with all the sensors and the heart rate monitors and all that fun stuff.

是以，"八方睡眠 "在睡眠跟蹤方面已經非常出色，配備了所有傳感器、心率監測器和其他有趣的功能。

But they've redesigned the tech inside it, making it more comfortable.

但他們重新設計了內部技術，使其更加舒適。

It's also now twice as powerful for cooling and 40% quieter.

現在，它的散熱能力增強了一倍，噪音也降低了 40%。

But maybe my favorite update is there's a little tap area on the side so you can silence or snooze a vibration alarm just by reaching over and tapping right here, which is pretty sick.

不過，我最喜歡的更新可能是在側面有一個小的輕觸區域，這樣你只需伸手輕觸這裡，就能讓振動鬧鐘靜音或打盹，這真是太神奇了。

But the extra cooling, I think, is actually making a difference to me.

但我認為，額外的降溫對我來說實際上是一種改變。

I think a normal good night of sleep for me,

我想，這對我來說是一個正常的好睡眠、

I'm getting like high 80s or low 90s as a sleep score, which I thought was pretty great.

我的睡眠評分在 80 分以上或 90 分以下，我覺得這已經很不錯了。

And then lately I've gotten a couple hundreds, which I'd never used to get.

最近我又收到了幾百份，這是我以前從未收到過的。

But now I feel like I'm getting a hundred like once a week, which is unheard of for me.

但現在，我感覺每週都能收到一百條，這對我來說是聞所未聞的。

They said the tech behind the Pod 4 has been clinically validated to increase sleep time by up to an hour every night and increase deep sleep by up to two and a half hours a month and reduce wake up time by three hours a month.

他們說，Pod 4 背後的技術已經過臨床驗證，每晚可增加多達一小時的睡眠時間，每月可增加多達兩個半小時的深度睡眠時間，每月可減少三個小時的起床時間。

All these are little gains that really just add up.

所有這些都是微不足道的收穫，但累積起來卻非常可觀。

And unlike the Sonos app, the Eight Sleep app is really good and consistently is getting better over time.

與 Sonos 應用程序不同的是，Eight Sleep 應用程序非常出色，而且隨著時間的推移還在不斷改進。

And then also with the Pod 4 Ultra, they made this insane adjustable base that can go underneath your mattress.

此外，Pod 4 Ultra 的可調節底座可以放在床墊下面。

So it can actually adjust it to different sleeping positions.

是以，它實際上可以根據不同的睡姿進行調整。

And then you can turn on automatic snore detection.

然後你就可以開啟自動打鼾檢測功能了。

So if it detects snoring, it like gently lifts your head up a few degrees to stop it for you.

是以，如果檢測到打鼾，它就會輕輕地把你的頭抬高几度，幫你停止打鼾。

So if you wanna check one out, I'll leave a link below.

如果你想看，我可以在下面留下鏈接。

It's eightsleep.com slash MKBHD.

這是 eightsleep.com slash MKBHD。

And then if you use code MKBHD, you get $350 off a Pod 4 Ultra or 200 bucks off a Pod 4.

如果使用代碼 MKBHD，Pod 4 Ultra 可優惠 350 美元，Pod 4 則可優惠 200 美元。

You're welcome.

不客氣。

So at the end of the day, let's say you're in the market for some high-end noise canceling headphones, right?

最後，假設您想購買高端降噪耳機，對嗎？

Obviously there are some choices.

顯然，我們有一些選擇。

These feel like they're a direct competitor to AirPods Max.

這款耳機感覺像是 AirPods Max 的直接競爭對手。

Most people who have an iPhone and iPad or a Mac and a bunch of stuff in the ecosystem who still want that seamless experience will probably still go with AirPods Max, even though they're more expensive.

大多數擁有 iPhone、iPad 或 Mac 以及生態系統中各種設備的用戶，如果仍然希望獲得無縫體驗，可能還是會選擇 AirPods Max，儘管它們的價格更高。

But what I will say is those are heavier and I probably wouldn't buy those right now.

但我要說的是，這些東西比較重，我現在可能不會買。

I think there's gotta be a new version of those like right around the corner, just as a PSA.

我想，馬上就會有新版本了，就當是個公益廣告吧。

But then there's the Bose and the Sonys that I mentioned earlier, which are essentially 90% of the same headphones that have a lot of the same benefits, but one to $200 cheaper.

但還有我前面提到的 Bose 和 Sonys，它們基本上 90% 都是同樣的耳機，具有很多相同的優點，但價格便宜一到兩百美元。

So the only way that I feel like I can shoehorn in recommending this pair of Sonos headphones is,

是以，我覺得我唯一可以推薦這副 Sonos 耳機的方式就是："我覺得這副耳機很不錯、

I guess one, if you just really love the brand and got the money and you don't care, fine.

我想，第一，如果你真的喜歡這個品牌，又有錢，而且不在乎，那很好。

Two is if you want the best transparency mode that isn't AirPods, that's these.

二是如果你想要最好的透明模式，而不是 AirPods，那就是這些。

But then three is if you switch between watching TV with your speakers and your headphones, particularly often, like I'm not personally that person, but the one use case I feel like I hear all the time is like people who live together, but one of them wants to watch TV while the other doesn't wake up or doesn't hear or something like that.

但第三種情況是，如果你在用揚聲器和耳機看電視之間切換，尤其是經常切換，比如我個人並不是這樣的人，但我覺得我經常聽到的一個用例是，比如住在一起的人，但其中一個人想看電視，而另一個人沒有醒來或聽不見之類的。

So if you're that person and you already have or are about to get the Sonos ARC soundbar, then in that case, these are a great pair with that just because of that quick seamless switch feature.

是以，如果你是這樣的人，而且你已經擁有或準備購買 Sonos ARC 條形音箱，那麼在這種情況下，由於快速無縫切換功能的存在，這對音箱將是絕佳的搭配。

But that's kind of it.

但也僅此而已。

Otherwise they're just a normal solid pair of Bluetooth headphones.

除此之外，這只是一副普通的藍牙耳機。

So I'll leave links to all my other headphone reviews below, check them out, get subscribed if you haven't already.

是以，我會在下面留下我所有其他耳機評論的鏈接，請查看它們，如果還沒有訂閱，請訂閱。
