Question

Sonos Ace connecting to sonos speakers

I currently have a turntable connected via line in to a Sonos 5 speaker, which then connects on WiFi to my other Sonos speakers (play ones and a roam) around the house. I was hoping I’d be able to link in and listen to vinyls from my turntable on the new Sonos Ace headphones, but it appears that they are going to be Bluetooth only and not able to connect via WiFi. Is there a way I’ll be able to make this work at all?

Hi again Ken Griffiths, just wondering how my set up would work with the cheaper option you’ve suggested - would it just be a case of the cable that currently links my turntable to my Sonos 5 going into the RCA switch instead, and then having a line out to something like the 1Mii B03 Pro Bluetooth thingy to get the sound to Bluetooth headphones?

What outputs does your turntable have (what make is it)?

If all you want is turntable to headphones, then forget Sonos, there are neater and probably cheaper alternatives. 

What is your turntable?

What a shame that the earphones I’ve been waiting for for many years won’t be integrated into the Sonos wireless network.  Are there any plans to integrate the earphones rather than the need to resort to Bluetooth?

I read the headphones can play via wifi using the Arc as a source. I've not read if this is only possible when the Arc does TV-sound. Would this also be possible if the Arc is grouped with a Port (or other speaker with an analogue connection)?

OP, just wanted to chime in here and say that I was hoping for the same functionality from these headphones. I currently have a Fluance RT85 turntable hooked up to my Play5’s using the Fluance PA10 preamp. I’m able to use the line out on my preamp to hook up a Bluetooth transmitter that I’m able to use with my bluetooth headphones. 

If you’re using an external preamp I’m guessing that would have a line out you could use as well for a bluetooth transmitter. 

That would certainly save you from having to buy a Sonos Port. 

 

Here’s the transmitter I have:

hello all.

first, i really love the headphones so far. the integration with the arc by just pushing the button is pretty amazing, now i don’t need different headphones for TV, ps5, switch, etc. and that is very convenient. plus they sound great and feel like you are wearing a cloud.

i’m not going to lie though, i am very dissapointed they lack this functionality. i too have a turntable connected via line-in to my beastie boys play5, and being able to use them with this configuration is something i was really looking forward too. i understood that any sound coming through the soundbar could be transferred to the headphones. i’m sure it’s much more complicated that what i think in my mind but this seems like an obvious feature that would be fairly easy to integrate given what they can already do.

alas, that sucks. i hope they give them this feature at some point.

Hi all,

Just for info. For a while I am running Sonos Ace from a Sonos Port with its digital coax connected to HDT800 transmitter from Advance Paris. Sofar a very convenient setup to have the Ace integrated in the Sonos system, and to listen to my local flac music library. I realize that I was lucky to already own a port.
