Ace bluetooth

Sonos Ace support Bluetooth.  ERA100 support Bluetooth.  So they both play nice with each other, right?

Sonos Ace need longer 3.5mm cable

I just got a Sonos Ace and I’m trying to use it with my DAC but the supplied 3.5mm cable is too short. Any of you find a third party usb-c to 3.5mm cable that works with the Ace? Or even a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle/adapter that work with the Ace? I’ve tried two different third party usb-c to 3.5mm cables and doesn’t seem to work. Thank you

Sonos Ace - replicable buzzing

I received my Sonos Ace and spent a few hours playing with settings to try to get a good sound from them.  I read in another thread someone recommending disabling volume normalisation within Spotify.  That vastly improved the sound quality for me.Unfortunately in my testing, I identified a buzzing noise.  It is more obvious on some tracks.  I wonder if others can replicate it.  On “Shout” by Tears for Fears, the opening bars feature some metallic percussion.  This is in the first ten seconds of the track.Listening through the Aces, there is a noticeable and pronounced buzz/noise at the end of each of these percussive clusters.  The buzz increases at the end of each cluster.  I have tried the track on multiple devices and this is only apparent on the Aces.  It should not be there.I spent two hours - the first hour on hold - with Sonos support.  The person I eventually spoke to was helpful enough, but all of the troubleshooting steps he suggested I had already done.  He escalated the mat

Sonos Ace issues i have found

So i have been using sonos ace since a week now! Here are few things i found (issues, suggestions etc)- the bass is not bassy enough! Its subtle.. music has quality but the mids and lows are muffled!- we really need a 5 point level tuning ! These aren't the sonos wifi speakers to just give bass and treble control... these are the pricy headphones which have a lot of potential and sonos team are limiting it enough to frustrate us!- the headphones doesn't charge with super fast anker chargers not sure why! They do charge with 20watt apple bricks and dont with the qc chargers this needs a fix... atleast let us know if this can be fixed or not!- power button press to start must be responsive but they designed it to feel like a lag.- transparency mode is just wow.- spotify and yt music feels like shit on android, apple music is soo dope on the same android.- the quality of the hardware is just excellent  at the airpods max level excellence, but its the software thats dooming this product.

Using ARC sound bar with ACE

I have trouble understanding dialog in movies. I would like to use the new Ace headphones while my wife listens through the sound bar. Is it possible to use both at the same time?

Sonos Ace Feedback over bumps

Hello,I have had pairs of Sony and Bose and AirPods Max. The Sonys and Bose give off this really annoying popping sound when going over bumps in the car. I know this is unfortunately common in some ANC headphones, but I am in the car a ton and the noise bothers my ears. Does the Sonos Ace do this?? if not I will return my Bose and get them. The AirPods Max do NOT do this and I’ve had them for 3 years. Thank you!

ACE ANC Fix Request

-Can we please have a different sound come on when the ANC button is toggled on and off rather than having the same exact sound when you push it.   Annoying trying to look at the app all the time figuring out if it's on or off.  Especially in quieter environments.-  Also can we have the music dim to a low volume when we push the ANC to aware mode.   Don't see the point of having it in aware mode when the music plays at exactly the same level especially when trying to talk to someone defeats the purpose of even having it.  Or atleast have an option (volume slider) in app to adjust how much you want the music to dim when in aware mode.  Thanks!!

Did you buy the Ace? I bought Beats!

I was waiting for the Ace launch to buy my new headphones, but because of the App fiasco + the fact the Ace are not integrated with my Sonos system I decided to buy a new pair of Beats Solo 4. I’m totally happy with my purchase, I always loved Beats and I prefer their design. If I wanted noise cancellation I would have gotten the AirPods Max, and I already have AirPods Pros. I am not sure why I would have got the Ace as they don’t integrate with my Sonos system which is probably the only reason I was waiting for the Sonos headphones. I’m also starting to develop a habit of going to Spotify to play my music instead of the Sonos App and sending it to my Sonos speakers. It just works (Spotify App) while the Sonos App makes me want to throw my phone on the wall just to select the zone I want to play in. I think you got it right if you wanted to start over from 0 and kill your loyal user base. I have more than 20 Sonos speakers in my 3 homes, I have Move, Roam, Arc and every single Sonos pr

Nouveau casque SONOS

TOUT SIMPLEMENT UNE HONTE !!!Et oui, ça fait trois ans que j’attend ce casque… déjà 500€ c’est abusé pour avoir un casque Bluetooth alors que des marques bien connues propose pour la même qualité pour moitié moins chers… Si j’ai attendu c’est que la promesse c’est que ce casque devait s’intégrer dans l’univers SONOS (Wifi). Et malheureusement ce n’est pas le cas ce n’est qu’un casque Bluetooth ☹ De plus les prochaines mises à jour ne promettent pas aux utilisateurs comme moi qui on investi il y a 7 ans 2500€ pour créer un univers SONOS sur tout mon logement d’avoir gain de cause…Pourquoi on n’est pas averti au moment de l’achat ? pourquoi ??J’attends beaucoup de la part de SONOS en terme de réaction !!!Franck Moderator Note - Translation by Google:SIMPLY A SHAME!!!And yes, I've been waiting for this headset for three years... already €500 is excessive to have a Bluetooth headset while well-known brands offer the same quality for half the price... If I waited it's that the promise is th

ACE shows not connected in App when using a cable

Find this curious.  Would like the app to confirm I am listening in lossless and allow me to look at my other settings.

Sonos Ace Supported Bluetooth Codecs

I understand the Sonos Ace supports AptX Lossless and AptX Adaptive. Does it also support AptX HD and AptX?

sonos ace queries

I have recently purchased a pair of Sonos Ace. However, a couple of issues so far..The wear detection doesn’t seem to be working? It’s definitely turned on in the app. I’ve tried it on Spotify and Netflix yet the streaming still continues when I take the headphones off. Anyone else having issues? The noise cancellation/aware button on the headphones isn’t always responsive and you have to press it a few times before it acknowledges the change. Anyone having the same issues there too?Apart from those the headphone are fantastic and impressive sound quality and noise cancellation.

Real life use case example

Can someone explain to me a use case where you would wear headphones but have other music/video on at the same time for you to consume and what the actual benefit would be. Please do it like I am 5 years old.
