"The Sonos Ace are a great product that came at the wrong time. The company's app crisis pretty much overshadowed their debut in 2024, which is a shame considering they're a gorgeous pair of over-ear headphones with powerful, detailed sound and a comfortable design that lets you easily swap the ear pads."
"The biggest downside to the Ace is that you can't play music over Wi-Fi or group them with the company's in-home speakers (although they do support wired audio over USB-C). However, for me, the fact that they can leverage Sonos' TV Audio Swap feature is what makes them a standout."
"The unique tool allows you to instantly transfer the sound from a Sonos soundbar - including the Sonos Arc, the entry-level Sonos Ray, and both iterations of the Sonos Beam - to either one or two pairs of the Ace with the simple press of a button."
"Sonos' newer TrueCinema mode even lets me fine-tune the virtual surround sound in a similar fashion to."
The Sonos Ace headphones provide powerful sound and a comfortable design, rivaling Bose and Apple products. They feature a natural transparency mode and support wired audio via USB-C. However, they cannot play music over Wi-Fi or connect with Sonos speakers. A standout feature is the TV Audio Swap, allowing sound transfer from Sonos soundbars to the Ace headphones. This feature enhances the listening experience for movies and gaming, although it primarily benefits users within the Sonos ecosystem.
