PRICED AT Rs 39,999, the Sonos Ace is without a doubt a premium device that goes above and beyond to offer admirable audio, ergonomics and ease of use. More importantly, it is good to see more competition in a market that is dominated by a handful of players like Sony, Sennheiser, Skullcandy and Bose.
Build quality
The headphones are a notch above the rest when it comes to aesthetics and there is no doubt about it. The design is neat and clean. There are no rough edges, no frills and nothing asymmetric about this product. The metallic accents and matte finish of the Sonos Ace work towards making a great case for the headphones. There’s an almost indescribable quality about the headphones that is soothing to watch. Whatever it is, I’m certain that OCD folks are going to love it.
As far as ergonomics are concerned, the Sonos Ace is delightful to use. Trust me when I say this is a quality that is hard to achieve. The cushions fit like a glove and are good for long hours. This is especially true for creatives who need to be on their system for hours. The cushions are made out of memory foam that offer good comfort. The headphones weigh only 312 grams which adds to the above-mentioned point. These feel like they weigh nothing when they are on your head. I can tell because there have been days when I had them on literally throughout my workday. Apart from the minor adjustment every ten to fifteen odd minutes, there was no hassle whatsoever.
