After years of rumors, Sonos has finally unveiled the much-anticipated Ace headphones, marking the company’s entry into the premium headphone market. Known for their stellar multi-room audio systems, Sonos has translated their expertise in acoustics and design into these meticulously crafted Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones. 

Available for pre-order now at $449, the Ace headphones promise a blend of high-end materials, exceptional sound quality, and unique home theater capabilities, ready to elevate your listening experience both on the go and at home.

The design of the Ace headphones is a testament to Sonos’s commitment to aesthetics and functionality. Inspired by their iconic speakers, the Ace features a sleek look with matte finishes, stainless steel, and leather accents. Available in black or white with silver accents, these headphones are lightweight at 11 ounces, making them lighter than the AirPods Max. The hidden hinge in the ear cup reduces stress on cabling and enhances the overall design. Physical controls, including the multi-purpose Content Key, offer intuitive volume, playback, and mode-switching options.

 Inside, 40mm custom dynamic drivers deliver “impeccable precision and clarity” with spatial audio and dynamic head tracking for an immersive experience. The Ace supports lossless audio over Bluetooth and USB-C; users can fine-tune the sound via the Sonos app. The Ace headphones are a formidable contender in the premium audio market with up to 30 hours of battery life and advanced ANC features. Set to ship on June 5th, they are poised to be a game-changer for audiophiles and tech enthusiasts alike.
