I don’t have a pair of Ace’s, but poking around in the 96.0 firmware update it appears that the Amp and Five have added support for it. Can someone check?

Does the Ace support the Amp and the Five now?

With the Sonos soundbars, Arc/Beam etc; the TV audio only can be swapped to the Ace headphones - but you can’t swap the music audio, at least I’ve not ever come across that feature - it’s just any audio that the soundbar receives over its HDMI (or Optical) connection.
I don’t have the Amp, but I’m ‘guessing’ the same may apply to that if it’s acting as the primary device in a Home Theatre setup. As far as I can ascertain here, there’s no way to swap the music audio to the Ace headphones from a Sonos Five… the Sonos App doesn’t cater for a music audio swap with any Sonos device.
I get around this music playback limitation by connecting a Bluetooth Transmitter (TX) to the output of a Sonos Port and then connect the Ace to the TX and that potentially gives the Ace access to all the Sonos App music services, including Sonos Radio, but obviously i can only listen to such sources when at Home - no way to take these things out & about.
Does that assist?
Forgive me, but I don’t quite understand your question here
+24I assume you can easily transfer the audio from these speakers to the headphones, in the same way you can with soundbars. Not having one I can’t try it.

I have seen Sonos users however ask for ‘music’ audio swap as a feature request - I would love to see that feature too.🤞
