Sonos Ace Ultra as a room in the S2 app

Will the new Sonos Ace Ultra headphone be just another room in the S2 app? Or does it require one of the compatible Sonos products?

Hi ​@beynym et al

You should find my recent post on another thread of interest:

I hope this helps.

 I’d be interested in using them would be my turntable but it’s connected to a set of Fives so that would not work anyway.  

What? Did you not read my post throughly regarding a turntable. 

Sorry I am a bit confused lol. So if my turntable is linked to a set of Fives, how does that swap to the Ace Ultra if it’s not on the list of supported speakers? Is it the fact that I own another speaker that IS on the list means the Sonos Fives would link? That is the bit that is confusing me haha

On the list mentioned in this thread I see the “Five” listed as a likable speaker. Don’t you 🤔

OMG - I am so stupid and cannot read properly - thanks for pointing this out to me! 🤣😀

Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

Hold on - edit to my above post. Maybe I am not being so stupid but there seems to be a discrepancy between the list of supported products on the Sales page for the Ace Ultra, and that link posted above by Mr. T. His link says: 

So unless I am being really stupid this does seem to be a bit confusing as to the product list doesn’t it. Unless I am again, reading something different to others. Maybe the list on the For Sale page is the more accurate one? Think I need to go and lie down in a dark room 😀🤣

Ha ha.., you’re just a victim as we all are of Sonos marketing not keeping things consistent throughout. It happens all the time 😂. Besides it would be “stupid” for Sonos to omit the Fives 😵‍💫

The Five is included on my sales page.  Maybe they got it corrected or the UK version is still wrong?

Lol - It would be helpful if they aligned that compatible products between the sales page and the information page wouldn’t it! Especially for those who would be interested in the Fives and their ability (or not) to link to the new headphones. Maybe ​someone from Sonos could clarify 🙃

Yeah Five is also on the UK list but not on that link to the information page - that is the discrepancy right now I think. Very confusing!

Seeing as it was just announced, I’m willing to give them a little leeway (but not much!) on syncing the web pages. They should be the same, though, it seems a fairly stripaight forward cut and paste job, IMHO. 
But I think the question lies on the hardware used when the Sonos Five was made. Was it designed with that capability in the electronics? From what I’ve seen, yes, it was, but not the PLAY:5 gen 2s, which I have, but they’re quite older.

i suspect the websites will settle down by the weekend, as these niggling issues get brought up.

Yeah I agree it is clearly just a teething issue with the lists being different but would be good if they could correct it soon so that customers know what the correct list is 😆 - be good if the Fives were on the list! At least I don’t have to feel quite so stupid going on about my Fives seeing as while chatting on this thread, I had Mr T’s link open as a reference. Hence why I was getting so confused around various replies!

It would also help with the updated correct list being in alphabetical order, which neither of them fully are. Sloppy quality control.

And seeing as the pre order is open and the list of compatible products may well feed into a persons reasons for purchasing, you would think the lists would be the same! Where a product is on 1 but not the other, you could not feel confident about ordering based on that product alone
