Sonos - Ace Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation (Each) - Black

[Employee of bestbuy] Sonos has been known for making some really incredible home audio speakers, their take on the Bluetooth speaker world is also quite remarkable with their Sonos move and their roam so their take on headphones is a huge welcome to me. At first impression their design on the headphones is remarkable, they’re incredibly light weight and comfortable for hours of usage. The plushy leather band sits on the head well and the ear cups are great for not generating ear fatigue or sweat. The stainless steel rod feels great for adjustment doesn’t feel cheap and it’s a great choice to allow users with multiple head shapes and sizes. The logo on the side is subtle enough to not notice from a far but proud enough to know who and what it is. The Included carrying case is great for travel it’s quite thin making it fit in my bag with my PlayStation portal and some extra clothes perfect. Sonos also offers a tiny little case for extra cables for either charging or lined in audio that fits inside the carrying case of the headphones magnetically. The headphones themselves are quite simple with controls which is great for getting what you need access to, your left ear cup provides a power button, usb c connector for charging/lined in audio and a light indicator to show Bluetooth connection, your right ear cup provides your noise cancellation and transparency mode button, above that button you have what may be one of my favorite takes on volume controls for a headphones, you have a volume slider, adjusting the volume up or down gives a click through the headphone to indict the action but after releasing the mechanism it returns back to a center position, it’s a simple switch but makes the experience feel responsive and elegant. The design of these headphones is what I would expect from Sonos, it’s elegant and efficient I would say for its price you barely recognize that it using a plastic housing because it’s plastic doesn’t feel cheap, no creaks or squeaks when picking up or adjusting the headset. Coming from the brand I do expect great audio quality especially being an owner of their Sonos beam gen 2 and Sonos move, their noise cancellation are strong and what’s great about that is they aren’t strong with pressure. The noise cancellation is one of the best I’ve used and there is a great feedback to let you know you’ve entered and exited noise cancellation. Transparency mode is clear and at times feels as if you aren’t wearing headphones it’s very clear with voices. My own voice however when in transparency mode doesn’t feel robot. I can definitely tell my own voice is coming through a microphone. Actual sound quality of the headphones is quite great, voices like Lauryn hill, phill Collin’s, bob Marley sound incredible they support mid sections incredibly well I honestly think that’s where they shine. The highs are pretty well done, bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, rage against the machine and Metallica have some great guitar solos where I felt I could really let the headphones show their capability and I wasn’t dissatisfied. Their lows are quite good filling the space with some deep bass and heavy drums. Overall the Sonos headphones are a wonderful pair of headphones I would highly consider for my daily wear. My only gripe with these headphones is its price. I think it’s an excellent headset, had they been $50 or $100 less I would pick them up and never let them go

The headphones are really Well built. I don't see them breaking soon. However, they pick fingerprints.For the sound quality. It was horrible at first but I have set the eq to +9 treble and +4 bass . Now it sound incredible if you put aside the not enough punchy bass. The battery life is solid, they have not ever shut down on me. I charge those every two days however.Noise cancelling is incredible when you are wactually playing something in your headphones. In case you are not it would be more effective against low rumbles like a fan, an engine or a fridge. . Otherwise it would be like you are in your own bubble. I am not sure if these support spatial audio, but I do know they support head tracking which has been very reliable . If it does support spatial audio, I wish somebody could tell me how to activate the spatial audio. The controls have been very reliable. But the pose function doesn't work when. You stream from Hulu on PC. Well, it works, but not reliably at all. For comfort, you can sometimes forget you have it on. However, after an extended listening session, my ears would itch. It would be relieved, however, if I just lifted the earcups off my ears. There is nothing really f To do in the appbexept for those who have Sonos speakers but when you open it, it takes like 5 to 10s to display the headphones despite them being connected. My pixel 10 does not support Dolby atmos but my computer does . And I can tell you there is an actual difference when steaming the same sound from each device. Also. Don't run with these , with NC on, I hear a stomping sound and with transparency, there is the wind sound very noticeable. Overall. Solid pair of headphones, despite some problems which are very easy to address.

I don’t usually write reviews, but the Sonos Ace deserves every bit of praise. From the moment I unboxed them, I knew these weren’t just another pair of wireless headphones — they feel like a luxury experience built for daily life. Sound quality is the headline here. Music feels alive — the bass is deep and punchy without being muddy, vocals are crystal clear, and the highs shimmer. Movies are on another level thanks to Dolby Atmos and spatial audio. It honestly feels like sitting in a private theater, and the head-tracking makes everything even more immersive. The noise cancellation is phenomenal. I tested them on a noisy commute, and the world just disappeared. Switch to “Aware Mode,” and you hear your surroundings naturally, like you’re not even wearing headphones. It’s seamless and incredibly useful. Comfort matters to me because I wear headphones for hours, and the Ace passes the test. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and even though these are premium over-ears, they never feel heavy. Build quality is excellent too — sturdy, sleek, and stylish enough that I’ve gotten compliments already. Battery life is another highlight. I easily get over a full day of listening, and the quick-charge feature is a lifesaver. Three minutes of charging for three hours of playtime? That’s wild. The little touches are what seal the deal: automatic play/pause when I take them off, flawless Bluetooth multipoint switching between devices, and the magical ability to swap TV audio from my Sonos soundbar directly into the headphones at night so I don’t disturb anyone. It’s like they thought of everything. Yes, the Sonos Ace is an investment — but it’s worth every cent. These headphones combine performance, comfort, and smart features in a way that feels effortless. If you’re considering them, stop hesitating. They’re easily the best I’ve owned, and I can’t recommend them enough.

Great overall immersive sound with simple customization options on the app. Excellent noise cancellation with easy access to aware mode. Simple intuitive controls. Very comfortable wear. Can slip off head if bending over significantly. No other significant dislikes. Quick charging and very long battery life. Feels really premium to the touch. Like the way the headphones flatten out in the case. Magnetic pouch to hold cord in case is nice touch. Overall quality wireless headphones for reasonable price.

Review: Sonos Ace Headphones The Sonos Ace have several strong points, but they are not perfect. Honest Review They are quite comfortable after a few days of use, once the initial pressure on the sides of the jaw goes away. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is very good, and the transparency mode is excellent and natural-sounding. Sound quality overall is very good, with clean and detailed audio, although I don’t feel the soundstage is particularly wide. The spatial audio experience was disappointing for me. Compared to AirPods (any generation), even my AirPods 4 offer better spatial audio and more accurate head tracking. This was one of my biggest letdowns. One feature I really like is how easy it is to connect them to a Sonos soundbar. I have a Sonos Beam Gen 2 in my bedroom, and this function has been extremely useful and convenient. Final thoughts: I think the Sonos Ace are a very good option at a Black Friday or discounted price, but they are hard to justify at full retail price.
