    Try rebooting the Ace by following these steps:

    1. Disconnect Sonos Ace from any USB-C cable connections.
    2. On the left ear cup, press and hold the Power/Bluetooth button for about 3 seconds. Sonos Ace will play a power-off tone and the status light will turn off.
    3. Wait 10 seconds.
    4. Press and hold the Power/Bluetooth button for about 3 seconds to turn Sonos Ace back on.

        Same here. Playing via Spotify if that helps.

        Hi @Bezzer 

        Thanks for your post!

        Sorry to hear of the issue you are having with your new Aces headphones!

        Just to be sure, could you please try removing both cushions from the cups, then put them back? This can help with the wear detection issue you describe. The cushions are held on by magnetic force - just pull them to remove them.

        I hope this helps.

          Mine still not working. Have tried all the solutions above. Also, the aware/noise cancellation button isn’t very responsive. Sometimes takes a few presses before it acknowledges the change

          Hi Corry,

           

          fortunately this worked for me. However the Noise control doesn’t. Active is on. When i press the button for ambient i get the tone but nothing changes. i can even see it changing from active to ambient in the app

           

          Cheers

           

          Nik
