Entering a new market is never easy. Entering a market where a number of your rivals are already doing an absolutely stellar job must be a truly daunting proposition – especially when some of those rivals are called Sony, Bose, Apple, Sennheiser and Bowers & Wilkins. Fair play, then, to multi-room speaker and soundbar specialist Sonos for taking the headphone bull by the horns. It has named its premium noise-cancellers Ace; so has it played its trump card? Our Sonos Ace First Test will reveal all.
Also in this issue we have a round-up of our favourite floorstanding speakers costing £1000-£2000. They are joined by some wireless speakers for the home which will provide excellent sound with minimal fuss and footprint.
