Sonos Ace wireless headphones coming to Malaysia; rock your world for RM2,299
Rumours of its existence have been bandied about leading to its launch but it is now finally official as Sonos has now expanded beyond making seriously good wireless speakers and are now, for the first time in their history, offering headphones too with their typical attention to acoustic quality. Dubbed the Sonos Ace, the new wireless headphones pack some of their best tech in a posh look over-ear design.
Available in either a matte black or white colourway with plushly upholstered headpiece and cans done up in vegan leather, the Sonos Ace pairs up to your phone and other kit via Bluetooth, feature Active Noise Cancellation up to 41dB and have an Aware Mode if you need to be out and about.
Where it exceeds the competition is the inclusion of SonoS TrueCinema technology for more immersive spatial sound. It also has a seamless handover mode that enables users to swap over from a Sonos soundbar over to the Sonos Ace for private listening.
The design of the Sonos Ace also prioritises tactility with a physical volume control slider and power button on the right can as well as a series of helpful design cues to indicate which earpiee is intended for the left ear and right ear via differently coloured meshes on the inner portion of the respective left and right earpieces.
On paper, the Sonos Ace is rated for up to 30 hours of battery life and you can get 3 hours of usage on a 3-minute charge. At launch, the Sonos Ace ships with a USB-C cable for charging, a 3.55mm audio jack cable for usage with traditional audio kit as well as a flat travel case.
