Sonos Ace problems

“If you're someone that likes to turn up your base in your car to plus infinity, just have the maximum base, maybe these are actually for you. I personally don't like it. It sounds too bashey and the base sounds cheap, which I don't like.”

“So you have relaxed ear game between 3 and 5 kHz, um which can lead to a bit of a muffled presentation overall, but then you have this lower treble peak um which is really weird on this headphone.”

“As for sound quality, I'm going to have to give these a 6.5 out of 10. Let's face it, the sound quality is underwhelming compared to the standard that we have been accustomed to by Sonos products.”

“One thing I can't really get over with the sound though is the fact that the sound, especially over Bluetooth, despite being overall nice, does have a bit of mufffulness going on with it.”

“Bass plays pretty deep, but it is a significantly lower level than I would like and I think most people would like.”

“These headphones are incredibly sweaty, they are hot.”

“I feel like the one thing I want is for these ear cups to be a bit more deep, I mean when they are on my ears they're fine, but they're just a little bit shallow and my ear is like touching the inside of it”

“I did find that the ear cups could get hot over time after a couple hours of wearing them or exercising in them, I exercised in these a couple times and every time they were just covered in sweat.”

“I do notice the Sonos ones do get a little bit warmer on my ears than the Sony ones, that's probably because of the more compression of it.”

“However, some users with larger heads and ears reported that they found the Ace a bit snug, causing discomfort over extended periods.”

“the EQ is pretty bare bones and there's not too many settings to adjust in the first place.”

“Talking about the EQ, it's limited in what it offers for adjustment.”

“I think these two these two are the only weak points for the Ace”

“Since you need the app to use this feature, it's worth noting that the app itself has caused a lot of upset in Sonos fans.”

“you can't do that with the Sonos Ace. They don't appear as another speaker if that makes sense.”

“in comparison to the other three, Sonos active noise cancellation is not as robust as the other three headsets.”

“these suddenly disconnected from my iPad and shut down while I was listening”

“The headphones does not integrate as a Sonos speaker at all.”

“First off, there's some latency, so you'll notice that speech doesn't quite line up with the characters' lips.”

“Compatibility, again, I'm going to give that a 5 out of 10. I really wanted to see seamless integration because Sonos is technically like Apple, you're supposed to buy it for the ecosystem experience and I just felt like it was a little…”

“for value the Sonos Ace receives a 3.5 out of 5 while the QC Ultra receives a 4.0 out of 5.”

“So, fourth place actually goes to Sonos. Now while they sound really good, they don't quite have the wow factor like I get from the AirPods Maxes or the Sonys. In fact, the only thing they really are is they're very expensive.”

“when listening to music away from a screen, I found it a little nonsensical and it's best turned off.”

“Both the AirPods Max and Sony WH1000XM5 can ramp their volume all the way down to zero in a gradual way. The Sonos Ace for whatever reason just cannot do this.”
