Sonos Ace Headphones See Significant Price Cut
The Sonos Ace wireless headphones in black are currently available for $279, down from their regular price of $399, representing a $120 discount. The deal is available across multiple major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and directly from Sonos. This marks one of the more notable price reductions on the company's first-ever pair of wireless headphones.
The Sonos Ace represent the audio company's inaugural entry into the wireless headphone market. They feature a premium, comfortable build alongside active noise cancellation technology, and are designed to integrate with the broader Sonos ecosystem, including the Sonos Arc and other Sonos soundbars.
Sound Quality and Key Features
Reviewers have praised the Ace for their expansive soundstage and balanced sound profile, which is notably less bass-forward than some competing models released around the same time, such as the Sony WH-1000XM5. This tuning may appeal to listeners who prefer a more neutral audio signature.
The active noise cancellation performance ranks among the best tested in the category, complemented by an equally impressive transparency mode that allows ambient sound to pass through when needed. Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours on a single charge, making them suitable for extended listening sessions or long travel days.
One standout feature is the ability to switch audio from a Sonos soundbar to the Ace headphones with a single button press. This functionality enables spatial audio with head tracking when watching movies, television shows, or playing games, creating an immersive personal listening experience.
On the connectivity front, the Ace supports multipoint Bluetooth pairing, allowing simultaneous connections to multiple devices. Codec support includes aptX Lossless and AAC, depending on the connected mobile device. For audiophiles seeking the highest quality, the headphones also support lossless audio when connected via USB-C.
