Sonos Ace wireless headphones look great, but from what I've seen so far, I cant help feeling that I'm being shortchanged on features to see them rank among the best noise-canceling headphones. These are my concerns.

I get your disappointment about no lossless over WiFi--more about that in second--but I'm confused by your comment above about feeling shortchanged on features based on what you've seen so far. What would those be?

As for no lossless over Wifi--it seems clear to me that wifi remains too much of an energy hog for the batteries in headphones. Either Wifi chips have to get significantly more power efficient or battery tech has to improve by a lot or (preferably) both. Maybe Apple's revised APM will finally crack the code on wifi in headphones when it drops.
