Sonos, the king of home Wi-Fi audio, is finally entering the headphone game with the aptly named Ace. Forget bulky headsets – these sleek, understated headphones are designed to be your ultimate private cinema sound system, both at home and on the go.
The Ace’s true magic lies in its ability to seamlessly connect to your compatible Sonos soundbar via Wi-Fi. With a single button press, you can transform your listening experience. Imagine a full theater soundstage delivered straight to your ears, without disturbing the rest of the house – perfect for late-night movie marathons. Sonos’ clever tech even recreates your room’s acoustics for a truly immersive experience, and head-tracking sensors make it feel like you’re not even wearing headphones.
Step outside the house and it transforms into a powerful competitor to Bose, Sony, Sennheiser, and other offerings. Eight built-in microphones deliver top-notch noise cancellation, ensuring audio remains crystal clear on airplanes or noisy streets. Beam-forming technology ensures crystal-clear voice calls, so you can take your conversations anywhere.
The sound quality is what truly sets the Ace apart. Custom-designed 40mm drivers, meticulously tuned by over 50 music producers, deliver precise, high-fidelity audio. As Sonos’ Giles Martin puts it, “The Ace is honest and transparent, so you hear the music exactly as the artist intended.”
The Ace boasts impressive versatility. It connects to all your devices, from iPhones and Androids to tablets and laptops, with standard Bluetooth 5.4. But it goes beyond the basics. Looking for lossless audio? The Ace supports it via Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound-enabled Android devices or a USB-C connection. Plus, enjoy Dolby Atmos spatial audio for movies on the go with compatible devices and services.
Customization is a breeze with the new Sonos app (love it or hate it). Here you can adjust the EQ, access advanced soundbar features, and fine-tune your listening experience. With a plush, recycled plastic build, replaceable ear cushions, and a user-replaceable battery, the Ace is built to last.
The Sonos Ace is available in black and white. While it might set you back a bit, the Ace promises to be a game-changer for audiophiles who crave a seamless listening experience, no matter where they are. Order it here.
