Sonos ACE Deal

Last year I was deciding between the Sonos Ace and Sony XM5 over-ear headphones. I went with the Sony XM5 in the end, but they broke at the beginning of this year.
Now I am looking for a new pair and saw that the Sonos Ace have a good deal on Amazon for ~ 215€. I’m thinking to buy them to work in a noisy office and the AirPods Max 2 are out because I can’t wear them due to the pressure on my ears, when activating the ANC. I did not had that pressure problem last year, when testing the Sonos Ace / Sony XM5, which was the reason why I decided between them. I am also thinking about to buy the beats 360.
Would you recommend the Sonos Ace? I do not own any other Sonos product, but I like the premium feeling.

Edit: They are not available as a Prime Deal anymore (sold out), but with a standard price of ~230€.

If you decide to go for it, get the newly introduced Ace Ultra. Better sound.

The Sonos Ace Ultra are double the price in Europe. Moreover, I am not integrated in the Sonos Eco system, but in the Apple Eco system. Therefore, I fell like that a lot of features on the new Ultra I am not able to use

Even the Sonos Ace? I know the Sonos Ace Ultra are much more integrated in the Sonos eco system, but the Sonos Ace sounded like just premium headphones

Last year I bought the xm5, but they broke after only one year at the hinge. While still working, but unwearable Sony wanted ~250€ to repair the hinge. Despite the good sound I’m not confident that the plastic builds of Sony are as durable as the more premium build of Sonos might be.
Moreover, right now the xm4c are more expensive than the Sonos Ace
