Sonos Ace Ultra Black

The headphones have a sleek design and nice controls. The sound is clear with deep bass tones, allowing me to enjoy various genres.

Clear sound with good bass The headphones provide clear sound. As a result, the high tones of vocals and instruments sound realistic. Additionally, I hear a lot of detail in the sound. For instance, I can clearly hear what is happening in the background music. This layering ensures realistic sound. Besides the clear sound, the headphones provide distinct bass tones. This allows me to hear the beat in the music clearly, but it does not overpower it. This makes listening to various genres such as pop, classical, and house music pleasant. Sometimes I do hear a sharp sound with sibilant sounds or cymbals when the volume is high. However, it really depends on the track.

Strong noise cancelling The noise cancelling of the headphones is strong. I hear almost nothing of what is happening around me. I don't pick up monotonous and constant sounds at all. For example, I don't notice someone using the coffee maker at home. I also don't hear conversations at the office or on the train. Even sudden noises sound soft. Comfortable and sleek design The headphones have a nice clamping force and therefore sit firmly on my head. This prevents them from slipping down when I lean my head forward and look at my phone. The material of the headband and ear cushions feels soft and molds easily to my head. As a result, I can wear them comfortably for extended periods. The control buttons on the earcups feel nice. The volume slider slides smoothly, making it easy to adjust the volume. The noise cancelling and Bluetooth buttons also have a satisfying press. The design of the headphones is sleek and minimalist. I like the matte finish with shiny silver details, which gives a luxurious look.
