Sonos Ace Black

The first Sonos headphones are here and I am very curious about them. I find the sound reproduction of the headphones detailed and the wearing comfort is high. Unfortunately, the Sonos app shows few options to adjust the sound to my wishes. Sound quality When I listen to music, the high, mid and low tones sound balanced. This makes music genres such as rock and pop sound clear. With heavier music styles such as EDM or techno, the music lacks some intensity. I can partly adjust this in the Sonos app, but this app gives me few options to improve this sound. As a result, music does not always sound the way I like it. Strong noise canceling Thanks to noise cancelling, I can isolate myself well from my environment. With most headphones I can't hear my surroundings when I listen to music, but I can hear them when I listen to podcasts. With the Sonos Ace, I don't hear much of my surroundings even when I listen to podcasts. I can use the button on the right earcup to turn noise canceling on or off if I want. Wearing comfort The headphones fit securely on my head thanks to the aluminum design. They also have leather ear cups so the headphones sit comfortably on my ears. This means I can listen to music for hours without the headphones being annoying on my head. I also do this without worrying about the battery running out. Thanks to the battery life of 30 hours, I am rarely without music and I like that.

A nice product, but the quality of the sound is not what I have come to expect from Sonos. The midrange and high tones themselves are reasonable to good compared to headphones in the same price range, but I think the low tones are very poor. Especially if you are a fan of heavy dance, you should leave this one alone. The option to increase the volume considerably is also missing. The NC is also disappointing in comparison. The touch operation is mediocre. Understand that design is important, but not at the expense of ease of use.

May test this product for a number of weeks. Design is really super sleek. It comes with a nice case with the necessary cables and booklets. Noise cancellation really means that everything around you disappears, personally I really love this and it's amazing how perfect the sound of the headphones is. The headphones are easily adjustable. I have paired the headphones with both my phone and tablet. Only sometimes I have to connect the tablet myself and it doesn't work automatically. After wearing them for a while, the headphones are warm, but I don't find it disturbing.
