Beam and sub-mini owner. Wife and I struggle to watch tv together due to my hearing deficit. I need it loud, she doesn't. Is it possible for us to watch tv together while I wear Ace headphones with customized volume (louder) while she listens to ambient Beam and sub-mimi at a normal volume?

Unfortunately, there is no way for the Beam to continue playing audio while it’s transmitting audio to the Sonos Ace.  Maybe this will change in a future update or product release, but it’s not possible currently.

 

If you have not done so already, you may want to try turning on speech enhancement on for your home theatre setup.

This has been requested a number of times and fortunately acknowledged by the Sonos moderators as having been put forward as a future feature request.

@Jonny Extracto

If your TV supports parallel output via hdmi eARC AND Bluetooth, you can use Ace as any other BT speaker to get what you described and are able to control volume levels separately. 
But as said, it depends on your TV.

+1 for this feature request for those of us as individuals with mild hearing loss in a household who want to use Ace playing simultaneously with Arc when watching TV
