I’ve lost count of how long we’ve been hearing rumors about Sonos’ plans to launch its first headphones, but it’s certainly been years in the making. So, The announcement of these Sonos Aces finally confirms something we’ve been talking about for a long timeand also waiting, since we are talking about a brand that has managed to build a more than solid reputation with its speakers, soundbars and other audio devices.

Of course, having so many expectations didn’t make it easy for the brand, as the debut on the headphone market didn’t match the image the company had built up over the years. In other words, it was essential that Sonos debuted five stars in style with headphones capable of satisfying the most demanding demands. AND, After reviewing his presentation, these Sonos Aces seem to have achieved that.

Sonos Ace: technical specifications

Although Sonos has not revealed all the technical specifications of these Sonos Aces, the first point that makes us think well is that they are built on some custom 40mm dynamic profile driversdesigned to provide a very balanced hearing throughout the tonal range, with a particular focus on the bass, thanks to a design optimized for bass reproduction.

Thanks to the sound quality that these controllers offer, the Sonos Ace offers some of the sound technologies that many users value most, such as surround sound thanks to Dolby Atmos and reproduction lossless sound (lossless) if we use Bluetooth or USB-C connectivity. In addition, Sonos has announced that they will also be compatible with the TrueCinemapatented surround mapping technology that promises to deliver a more immersive and realistic surround sound experience.

As it could not be otherwise, they have Sonos Ace active noise cancellationwhich offers both a complete isolation mode and the so-called Conscious, which offers partial isolation, allowing us to hear certain sounds. This type of intermediate isolation has become very popular recently, because it is much safer to use headphones when we are on the street or have to pay attention to certain sounds at home or in the office.

For its connectivity, Sonos decided to offer both a wireless mode Bluetooth 5.4 multipoint, for example by cable, for which it contains one USB-C to USB-C and another USB-C to 3.5mm minijack. For wireless use, Sonos claims that its battery, 1060 milliampsis able to provide up to 30 hours of autonomy with noise cancellation.

As for its design, although of course we enter into the preferences of each of them, I personally find them very attractive and with a great personality, available in two color variants (black and white), the headband has several adjustments to adapt to different head sizes and morphologies, and the pads (memory foam) are covered in vegan leather to provide a pleasant touch and long-term wear without heat. problem.

Sonos Ace headphones can already be reserved on the manufacturer’s website, they will be available from June 5. Its price is 499 euros.
