Not only do the Sonos Ace integrate with your existing Sonos setup via Bluetooth, but they’re also great headphones in their own right. They have the crisp, flat audio profile that Sonos is known for, and our reviewer Parker Hall especially called out their ability to handle any song “with a good bass line.” They have great detail, a dynamic sound that handles a variety of styles well.
They’re one of the more comfortable headsets you can buy, mainly due to their impressive lightness. At only 11 ounces, it’s easy to feel like you’re not wearing anything, and they have a good clamping force on the side that helps take a lot of pressure off the top of your head. If fit and finish are a top priority for your headset, the Sonos Ace has a truckload of both.
ANC is on par with the best headsets you can buy, and controls low-frequency rumble especially efficiently. The transparency mode is also excellent, with conversation clarity that doesn’t make you feel like you’re talking to someone through a tin can. Although they lack some convenience features found on other headsets, they make up for it with multipoint pairing, and you can adjust all the settings to your liking in the Sonos app.
While the Sonos Ace is available in several colors, I only saw the black model marked at a selling price of $300. As I write this, the white model is in stock at a slightly higher $365, which may or may not be worth it, depending on how much aesthetics matter to you. If you’re not sold on the Sonos Ace, be sure to check out our full roundup of the best headphones, with hands-on testing from our team of audio experts.
