I don't know why Sonos didn't design the Ace to operate just like any other Sonos speaker in my network. It's so disappointing! Fix this Sonos!
Make the Ace just like any other Sonos Speaker

It would likely require a better battery, and a WiFi connecting antenna. Both would likely be larger than acceptable, but if you look at threads from before, and even after it was released, this was a common request. And has been discussed.
It would kind of be like wearing a Roam on your head. But with the headphone speakers instead of the Roam speakers. I don’t know how well that would work.
Might be doable if they went to a separate battery, on your belt or shoulder strap, or cut time to recharge by more than half.
I really miss my Play 5 Gen 1 that had a headphone jack.
Seems silly to power up a TV, Arc, Sub and two surrounds to listen to headphones.
Not a good selling point for Sonos when the other option is to use someone else's music service and Bluetooth.
What would make me happy is a new version of my Play (or the Roam or Move for folks that like them) that had a Bluetooth output so the Ace could connect to the Sonos system and use the services it provides.
I don’t know how well that would work.
Might be too warm of an experience for most

That’s why I put a Bluetooth transmitter on a Port. Having Bluetooth output from a Sonos device would be ideal. And it would free up the Port line-out.

Yikes! Not good.
The Bluetooth on a Port is a great idea, aside from the cost of the Port. Maybe a used but newer Connect.
I look for good used Port prices from time to time, hate the guy who got one for $7.99 at his local thrift shop.

I don’t think I would buy a Port just for this. A newer Connect should work just fine. The Port was already sitting there with a turntable on line-in.

That’s crazy. Why can’t I ever come across something like that?!
