Jabra Evolve2 85 with ANC
Score: 88/100
Sonos Ace
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Jabra Evolve2 85 offers hybrid active noise cancellation, a ten-mic array and up to 37 hours of battery life. Its weight of 286 g and right-side-only boom mic may be less comfortable for some users. Ideal for professionals demanding top-tier noise reduction and long-lasting performance.
The Sonos Ace are premium over-ear headphones featuring adaptive ANC, Dolby Atmos head-tracking, and a 30-hour battery life. Their ANC can be less consistent on subtle noises and the wired option is limited to analog audio only. Best for Sonos ecosystem owners and travelers who value immersive sound and strong low-frequency noise cancellation.

Professional reviewers commend the Sonos Ace for its industry-leading ANC, especially against low-frequency noise, its immersive Dolby Atmos head-tracking, and the convenience of TV Audio Swap within the Sonos ecosystem. They also highlight the clear call performance and comfortable design, while noting that the ANC is less consistent on very quiet sounds and that the wired option is limited to analog audio without digital support.
Everyday users largely praise the comfort of the memory-foam cushions, the impressive 30-hour battery life, and the strong isolation of engine rumble. Recurring criticisms focus on the ANC's occasional inconsistency with subtle noises and the lack of a digital wired audio path, which some audiophiles find limiting.
“"solid acoustic seal, wide adjustments, and feature-packed controls like TV Swap"”
