Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

[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.

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.

Pros: 1. Superior Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): The standout feature of the Sonos Ace headphones is undoubtedly the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The ANC performance is top-notch, effectively drowning out ambient noise and creating an immersive listening experience. Whether you’re in a busy office, on a noisy commute, or simply trying to enjoy some quiet time at home, the ANC does an excellent job of keeping distractions at bay. Compared to other headphones in this price range, the Sonos Ace holds its ground remarkably well. 2. Sound Quality: The sound quality is another high point. The audio is crisp, with a balanced mix of bass, mids, and highs. Music genres from classical to rock sound fantastic, and podcasts and audiobooks are clear and easy to listen to. The headphones handle both high and low volumes without distortion, making them versatile for different listening preferences. 3. Comfort and Build: The Sonos Ace headphones are lightweight yet sturdy, crafted with high-quality materials that feel durable. The ear cups are well-padded and comfortable, even for extended listening sessions. The adjustable headband ensures a snug fit without being too tight, which is perfect for long-term wear. 4. Aware Mode: The Aware Mode (Sonos’ version of transparency mode) is another highlight. It seamlessly blends external sounds with your audio, making it easy to stay aware of your surroundings without removing the headphones. This feature is particularly useful when you need to have quick conversations or be alert in busy environments. Cons: 1. Initial Charging Issues: One frustrating aspect I encountered was the difficulty in getting the headphones to charge initially. Despite following the instructions, the headphones didn’t seem to charge properly the first few times. After some troubleshooting and trying different cables and outlets, the issue eventually resolved itself, but it was an inconvenient start. This could be a potential deal-breaker for those who expect a hassle-free setup out of the box. 2. Price: While the Sonos Ace headphones offer great features and performance, they come with a premium price tag. For some, this might be a significant investment, especially when there are other competitive options available at lower price points. Final Verdict The Sonos Ace headphones excel in delivering high-quality sound and exceptional ANC, making them a great choice for audiophiles and frequent travelers. However, the initial charging issues can be a bit of a setback. If you’re willing to overlook this minor inconvenience, the Sonos Ace headphones are a solid investment for anyone seeking a premium audio experience.

[Employee of bestbuy] Bought these headphones to replace my Bose and I have to say they have great audio quality only thing negative I can say about them is the mic quality when I use them for calls or when I’m on discord people say my mic audio is bad so usually end up switching headset or swapping to my iPhone audio. But watched a movie on my iPad with them I cant complain audio is 10/10, mic 8/10, comfort 10/10, connectivity 10/10 super easy with their app.

The hype of these headphones prior to launch was unknown to me. I’m aware of their speakers for home & entertainment. Era 100 & 300 got me into the Sonos brand. When notified by Sonos of their Ace, I preordered. Initially I was expecting a lot considering the price point. But after a few days of ownership I can say it’s a solid debut. The sound signature did take some getting used too without messing with the simple EQ avail (Bass, Treble, and Fade) The bass is apparent but not overwhelming and Treble is crystal clear but not ear piercing. With the likes of Bose QC Ultra for comparison; those seem more bright in signature. Sonos Ace has a more darker tone & balanced signature. I thought it was lacking personality initially, but after putting in more listening time, it’s definitely Sonos sound but in your ears. I don’t own an Arc soundbar to test its sound swap feature; that’s the one thing it has over its competitors. The look of the Ace is Sonos. Very simply & minimalistic. If AirPods Max & XM5’s had a child, this would be it. The carrying case is also well constructed with recycled materials. Plus despite weighing a few grams more than Sony’s & Bose top tier offering; these feel remarkably light & comfortable to wear. It’s not an exaggeration. The ear cups are held by strong magnets. If those need replacements down the line, that option is available to you. Overall satisfied with these headphones. Can improvement be made for a version 2? Yes. Wish it had WiFi support like it’s other products. But what is presented is a wonderful pair of premium headphones.

SONOS ACE wireless headphones are exactly what you'd expect from the tech-forward, quality-focused company. Sound quality is crisp, clear, and full of nuanced audio notes that I never noticed when listening to other speakers or headphones. The comfort level of these headphones around the ears and on the head resemble a soft, comfortable cooling pillow feel -- able to be worn for hours without discomfort. Pros: Adjustable frame, ultra fast charging, long battery life, easy to connect Bluetooth, flawless wired audio option, and bonus ability to connect into SONOS smartphone app make this a very desirable audiophile experience. Con: if you're a current SONOS owner and use their other Wi-Fi based audio products, these headphones do NOT use the Wi-Fi technology leveraged by other SONOS devices. Additionally, SONOS has a product development roadmap that includes future features for the ACE -- such as seamless audio switching from some TVs using SONOS sound bars -- but those features are not fully available as of 08/2024.

At first I was a little skeptical on how useful these could be. I knew someone else was going to deliver a high quality product, but wasn't sure how much I would actually use these. I've come to find myself using them around 3 hours a day. Originally I thought they were going to be uncomfortable and a burden, but they've actually become the most comfortable headphone I've ever worn and sound amazing. The 3D audio and head tracking is a very unique feature and makes movies even more immersive. The ability to quickly switch from having audio on my Sonos Arc straight to my headphones is a godsend. I love hearing every detail in movies and games, but that was difficult with having a newborn. I had to settle for very low volumes at certain times, and that just doesn't utilize the awesomeness of having a Sonos system. Now with these headphones I can listen "as loud as I want" at any time of the day. With the simple press of a button on the headphones, audio is rerouted from my soundbar straight to my headphones. They even have Bluetooth support to listen to your favorite music or other media on your phone. They can be used to make phone calls and are just all around something I don't know how I lived without. I recommend them to everyone I know, and can't believe how useful they have become. I caught them on sale for $100 off, but I honestly would pay full retail price for these headphones. One final note is how awesome the battery life is. I swear with using it every single day, I've only had to charge it maybe once a week. And charging is extremely fast. Battery seems to go from 0 to 100% in around half an hour

Love these headphones, the sound is amazing, easy integration with Apple devices, much lighter than the Apple AirPods Max with better battery life.

I really like these headphones. Being an Apple user, it was my first tech product not made by them. I like that you get the same as continuity to listen between two devices, like AirPods. Sometimes I feel they could be louder, and I would love it if it was. The cable that comes with the headphones could also be longer. It’s too short if you want to listen via a wired connection.

Purchased these just prior to holidays for a great price and have been incredibly happy! The sound quality is very good and set-up was very simple. I have used with streaming and PS5; can't believe I didn't get these before. When you turn your head, the sound moves with you. High quality build and very comfortable.

These headphones were a nice surprise and a bit of a letdown at the same time. Without Wavelet my go to custom EQ app these wouldnt even make my top 5. The Sonos app has been buchered as im sure all you Sonos fans are aware and these werent spared that fate. The lack of bass doesnt just negatively affect songs it affects movies too missing that key depth of sound. Dont get me wrong tho despite these shortcomings things got better. With a little EQ magic these actually sound really good. Still not nearly as much bass as I and many may personly prefer but mids and highs are really solid. Speaking of solid the build quality and material used in these are only second to the Airpods Max and so much lighter. If Sonos would fix their awful app, give these things a proper EQ and find a way to get some actual bass, these things would be the best on the market. So much potential... too bad.

Sound quality is amazing, light weight and comfortable. Connect to phone easily and battery last least 30 hours

Nicest headphones I’ve had. They adjust nicely to my head and are relatively light. Because of the comfort factor, I am able to wear them for longer periods of time without discomfort. The sound is amazing. I like that you can adjust bass and treble from the Sonos app. These are not WIFI driven like other Sonos products, but if you want a nice pair of Bluetooth headphones, I recommend these.

Amazing, clear, sound need to improve the noise cancelling, very comfortable to use in long time and the battery works great in large period of charged, overall you won’t be dessapointment.

way better than expected. i have been able to pair with them with all of my sound bars. The headphones pack a nice full sound via bluetooth but they truly shine when plugged directly into the source. i believe these headphones are well worth the price given how resilient they can be. The battery life is pretty unreal. I have been on multiple walks with noise cancelation on and still left with plenty of battery to spare. I took my time on making this purchase. i have air pods max and i would highly recommend these over the air pods max.

I have a system setup with all Sonos, so I wante to see if the Sonos ace headphones added anything to th system. WOW was I surprised. They not only added better sound to the etup, but allowed me to better understand certain voice dialects reflected on tv programming. I wear hearing aides, and the ACE headphones work great with them. When I put them on, I push one button nd the tv setup is switched to the ACE for sound output. Push it again nd it goes back to the system Easy to use more so than I expected. Sound is incredible. Wish I had bought them hen they were first released. Slight negative, I have big ears nd I hve to take a little extra time to position the ear pads. BUT THEY WORK GREAT. I added an image showing the ACE next my ULTRA soundbar.

I use my Sonos Ace headset for work at home and listening to music casually. I like the deep base while listening to music. It's great for calls also. I receive and make phone calls with it. The voice clarity is so good. The noise cancelation feature is excellent. All the noise around me are cast out completely. I focus more on my conversations and less on the noise surrounding me. During my leisure time, I use the headset as TV swap from my Sonos Arc Ultra. This thing is beautiful!
