Audio Performance

The Incase Sonic has an overall beautiful sound quality. The vocals are played in their original form with no unnatural or added effects. The instruments are also reproduced beautifully with a great separated treatment, where you can actually feel each invidual instrument’s contribution to the track. Electronics are also reproduced exactly as they are meant to. The Incase Sonic plays all tracks of all the genres just right with clear and crisp sound. It has good punchy bass and also treats the midrange nicely. However, the only problem of the Incase Sonic is its treble treatment that becomes a nuisance at time. The high frequency sounds becomes screeching at times spoiling the otherwise pleasant music. Although this problem is not persistent and is only felt in some tracks with very high frequency notes.

Conclusion

At the price range of $200, the Incase Sonic is indeed a greatly designed pair of headphones with a good sound quality as well if you can just overlook the little treble problem.
