I would love to see this feature and it would be what would make me buy a pair of Sonos Aces to replace my current headphones. 

Use case: I work from home in the same room with my significant other (SO). We both listen to music on our Sonos speakers all day while working. However, at some point my SO starts taking calls for a while. During this time, she still wants the music playing in the room, but I need to have headphones on to block out the sound of the phone calls. So I put on my headphones, pair to Bluetooth, and have to open a second music streaming service to play music in my headphones while leaving the Sonos system playing music for her. This is annoying on a day to day basis. 

I would LOVE to be able to just slip on the Aces and pick right up with listening to the same music in the room and not have to get on my phone and start up a second service, etc. Honestly, this is the only use case I can imagine getting the Aces for given I have my Sony MX4s. 

I am definitely waiting until the headphones can act as a zone. My hearing is not as good as my wife's and to be able to watch tv at a volume suitable for me would be. A deal winner!

There already exists the feature to „swap“ tv sound from the newer soundbars to Ace. It’s not a classical grouping that would be possible system wide like with other Sonos devices. But for tv sound works like a charm. 
The only restriction is that you can’t hear via both outputs at the same time. Ace headphones and Soundbar at the same time won’t work yet, but it’s a feature many people are asking for. 
 

Swapping isn't the desired outcome. Being able to share the same audio at different volume levels is the end game - please bring it on!
