Sonos releases its Ace Ultra over-ear headphones, priced at $449, with updates focused on sound quality, noise cancellation, and connectivity. The company says the headset uses an all-new driver and includes next-generation adaptive active noise cancelling (ANC).
A central feature highlighted across outlets is the headphones’ ability to directly connect to a user’s Sonos system. CNET describes a direct link to Sonos, while Engadget says the headphones can swap audio with any Sonos speaker. Engadget also adds that the Ace Ultra headphones improve ANC performance and offer longer battery life compared with previous models.
Overall, the coverage agrees on the presence of upgraded drivers and ANC, as well as enhanced power endurance. The main difference in emphasis is that CNET focuses on the direct connection to the Sonos ecosystem, while Engadget highlights the practical use case of moving audio between the headphones and any compatible Sonos speaker.
