I've been using Ace for a few hours now. First impression:
- Setup was easy
- Sound excellent, including the bass
- Wearing comfort great
- Quality good, but not perfect (one ear cup not cleanly finished, volume control sometimes jams slightly)
- Battery life - as far as I can tell after a few hours - is good.
- Switching to the soundbar works easily
- Noise canceling mode great. Aware mode not, I hear rustling background noise (white noise).
- Signals when switching noise canceling mode do not sound differently enough, so you don't know which mode you are in when switching
- Quieter/louder/pause is needed more often than switching the noise canceling mode, so the reverse order of the two right buttons would have been better.
- Headtracking mode is great. But can be annoying when walking around, so a button to switch it on/off would be helpful. Perhaps an update could make this possible via the noise canceling button?
- Price is also ok if you take advantage of the 15% upgrade bonus for existing customers
- The only reason why I probably won't keep the headphones is the app operation. I thought I could search for a song in the Sonos app and then decide whether I wanted to play it through my Sonos speakers or through the headphones. Unfortunately, I can't do that, I have to switch to Apple Music, search for the song again and play it via Bluetooth. Is there anything else coming tio change this, @Sonos?
- But the integration via iPhone and Watch via Bluetooth is excellent.
