The long-awaited first headphones: Sonos Ace

Today we are announcing the launch of our first-ever headphones, Sonos Ace, marking the brand’s long-awaited entry into the personal listening category. As a leading innovator in sound, Sonos is now using its renowned audio and design expertise to transform the way we listen on headphones.

The premium over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones feature breathtaking lossless and spatial audio, world-class Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Aware Mode, as well as the most precise and immersive home theater experience possible using Sonos’ new TrueCinema technology. Sonos Ace will be available globally in both Black and Soft White.

Superior Sound on a Personal Level

Artfully crafted and masterfully tuned, Sonos Ace defies expectations with a range of features that bring the best of Sonos to headphones.

Indulge in high-fidelity sound: Savor every second of your favorite song, podcast or friend’s phone call thanks to Sonos Ace’s two custom-designed drivers that render each frequency with impeccable precision and clarity.
Your own private cinema: Sonos Ace lets you enjoy a surround sound home theater experience while giving your household the gift of quiet. Instantly swap the TV audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar to Sonos Ace with just the tap of a button. Spatial audio with Dolby Atmos envelops you in dramatically detailed sound from all directions and dynamic head tracking keeps you centered in the action even if you need to grab a blanket or reach for the snack bowl. Coming later this year, Sonos’ all-new TrueCinema technology precisely maps your space then renders a complete surround sound system for a listening experience so realistic you’ll forget you’re wearing headphones.
Turn the world on or off: Make personal listening even more personal with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), or activate Aware mode when you want more awareness of your surroundings - be it walking on a busy street or working in the office.

Day-long battery life and ultra-fast charge: Listen or talk for up to 30 hours with an extended, energy-efficient battery life. Ultra fast charging ensures you’ll never miss a beat - get 3 hours of battery life with a quick 3-minute charge using the included USB-C cable.

Elegant Design and Long-Lasting Comfort

Sonos Ace was made to look and feel as good as it sounds. Its distinctive, slim profile beautifully blends metal accents with a sleek matte finish, complementing any style no matter how fast trends move.

Endless Comfort: Sonos Ace uses lightweight, premium materials for an airy fit that gently hugs your head. Its pillowy soft memory foam interior is wrapped in vegan leather, while a custom headband and ear cups that hide the hinge create the perfect acoustic seal without catching on hair.
Intuitive Design: Wearing and storing Sonos Ace is a breeze - contrasting colors inside the ear cups subtly signal which way to put the headphones on and beautifully-tactile buttons make controls easy to use while wearing them. When you’re done listening, put Sonos Ace away effortlessly thanks to its fold flat design that fits snugly in its lightweight travel case.
Responsibly Made: Sonos Ace is built to last and made for daily wear. The headphones feature replaceable ear cushions, circular materials that allow us to use 17% less virgin plastic, and a 75% recycled felt travel case made from plastic bottles. Engineered to drive energy efficiency, wear detection pauses your music when you remove Sonos Ace from your ears, minimizing the need for charging.

Sonos Ace will be available on June 5 for $449 USD (499 EUR, 449 GBP, 699 AUD). For more information, visit sonos.com, and follow along on @sonos.

Hello.

I purchased the Ace and I have to say, I really like it.

The sound is awesome, I like how many different ways I can connect them but there are a few issues I am wondering if you can address in a future app update.

When I have the Ace connected to my computer with USB-c, there seems to be a slight delay between key presses and the associated action. I notice this mostly on a few games that I play.

I do not have the same issue when connected via USB-c to my iPhone, however.

Would it be possible to improve the call quality of the mics? People can hear me well enough but I am told I sometimes sound like I am in a tube or a metal box. This seems to happen if the USB-c cable is connected.

Would it be possible to add the ability to mute the mics? If I need to have a quick discussion with my wife, for example about what we’re having for dinner I’d like to have the same ability a lot of gaming headsets seem to provide but which is sorely lacking in a lot of headphones--the ability to mute the mics. I was thinking perhaps the power button could be utilized for that. A single press can mute, and a double-press can unmute that way you know good and well you’re muted and it’ll be hard to purposely unmute without meaning to.

Thank you so much

I’m not considering buying these until you fix your dumpster fire app.

I have an pair and TBH they have seriously impressed me The sound quality is fantastic, and the TV Swap sounds superb. The noise cancelling is also excellent and I can’t understand why some reviews don’t acknowledge this. I have a pair of Airpids Max and the Ace beat them in every possible way. The app is ok. It will be improved. But don’t miss out. These Ace headphones are so so good.

I’m not considering buying these until you fix your dumpster fire app.

I hope you continue to enjoy your headphones and they bring you happiness every time you put them on your head

“The app is OK”

come on even the biggest Sonos fans acknowledge it’s a freaking mess.

Don't be like that @Bumper , they've joined especially to tell you this news.

My new Sonos Ace Headphones arrived yesterday… Look and sound amazing but the app states that they require an update. Everytime I go through the update process it gets to 100 and then fails to update stating to Try Again. Is there a problem or a fix.

Mine STILL does this as well as a small electronic "creaking" sound in the right earthat is heard when no music is being played (assume music drowns it out) have you fixed the update issue?

Those comments tho

I like how Sonos avoided addressing any of the justifiably upset people in LinkedIn and just replied to just one comment that was the one and only person saying they were excited. Brutal way to add to the upset.

Unfortunately the Ace headphones were gifted to me by family as I love the Sonos products. The headphones are great but so very disappointed they wont connect to my system, though I hear that upgrades are coming. Why release a long awaited product like this without this connectivity and whilst app is a disaster.
Sonos seem to have lost customer focus.

Est il possible d’associer deux casques Ace avec une Beam ou Arc ?

Non, seulement un Ace pour ce moment… Peut-être il va arriver - des autres ont demander la meme, alors...

Non !

1 seul Ace par bare de son - décevant

How they went to all the trouble of releasing a set of headphones and not making them a Zone Player beggars belief really.
