Back in May, Sonos took the hood off of its first-ever wireless headphones, the Ace. In my brief time with them during the special session given by the
regional distributor, TCAcoustic, I found a lot to love about it, as well as some corners with the headphones that will certainly need some ironing out.
Available in both Black and White, I was provided with a unit in the latter colour and like all white coloured products, it looks absolutely pristine. However, this also means that the headphones are prone to showing scuffs and knocks more prominently than an all-black unit. Out of the box, the Ace comes with its own travel casing, complete with a small pouch that magnetically attaches itself to the inside. That pouch, by the way, has enough room to hold the USB-C to USB-C cable, and the USB-C to 3.5mm cable. Both of which are bundled with the headphones.Let's start with the feel of these headphones over my head.
Likewise, the lows on the Ace are strong but to be precise, it actually feels a little bass-bias at times. With tracks like Sam Smith's I'm Not The Only One, I can really feel the thumping of the bass with each and every beat, yet if I shift over to Stacey Kent's Venus de Milo, the bass line still rattles my skull but feels more of a humming in the back of my head at this point.
As for features like Spatial Audio, I will say that Sonos still has some ways to go with the feature. In my brief experience with it, I think it's a shtick with the Ace that feels incomplete and by the brand's own admission, still requires some tweaking before it can even be considered optimal.
