Sonos Ace review: These headphones are almost as awesome as we’d hoped

The Sonos Ace are a superb set of wireless headphones that have the potential to become a must-have accessory for Sonos owners.

Excellent design and comfort Intuitive tactile controls Very good sound quality Top-notch ANC and transparency Fun Sonos soundbar integration

Lacks full Sonos system integration No Wi-Fi streaming TV Audio Swap needs improvement

“Incredible comfort, simplicity, and sound make us wish the Sonos Ace were fully integrated into the Sonos ecosystem.”

Best Noise-Canceling Headphones I've Tested for 2026

A lot of people expected Sonos' first headphones to be able to stream lossless audio over Wi-Fi in your home and then use Bluetooth outside your Sonos home network. However, Sonos reps told me that listening to music over Wi-Fi would greatly reduce the...

strong noise canceling; excellent sound quality; very good voice-calling performance; well balanced; clean sounding with nice detail and sparkle in the treble; punchy, powerful bass; natural vocals; relatively wide soundstage; USB-C audio support;...

Sony's new WH-1000XM6 are slightly better overall for around the same price

Sonos Ace Review

The Sonos Ace headphones look elegant, sound fantastic, and deliver high-quality noise cancellation, though they offer less compatibility with other Sonos products than you'd expect.

Sonos Ace review: was it worth it?

The new Sonos Ace headphones are exceptionally comfortable, and the headlining TV Audio Swap feature is super convenient. But the app remains in a rough state.

Sonos Ace

Sonos, the king of whole-home audio is heading outside and already sits at the highest echelon of noise-canceling headphones.

Lightweight design. Comfortable memory foam ear pads with gentle clamping force. Excellent transparency mode. Top-tier noise canceling. 30 hours of battery life. Clean looks. Included hard case. Flat, dynamic sound with great, but not too boomy, bass.

No Wi-Fi onboard for “traditional” Sonos integration. Expensive. Sonos app has been buggy since the refresh.
