Sonos is best known for its home speakers and soundbars, but the Ace is its first shot at premium over-ear headphones, and it’s a good one. These don’t feel like a first-generation experiment. The build is lightweight and durable; the ear cups are soft and comfortable for long use; and the physical buttons are easy to find and press, which is great if you’re tired of finicky touch controls.

You get around 30 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation or Aware mode turned on, and closer to 40 if you keep both off. That puts it right up there with other top-tier options like Sony’s WH-1000XM5s. The Ace also supports Bluetooth multipoint, meaning you can stay connected to your laptop and phone at the same time and switch without much delay. Sound quality is clean and well-balanced out of the box, but you can tweak it in the Sonos app if you want more bass or brightness, notes this PCMag review. The ANC and transparency (or Aware) modes are both excellent, letting you tune out or tune in to your surroundings without a jarring switch. 

That said, there are a couple of limitations worth knowing. Unlike Sonos speakers, the Ace doesn’t support wifi playback, so you can’t stream directly from services the way you might with other Sonos gear. Still, they can pair with Sonos soundbars over Bluetooth, which might be a bonus if you’re already in the Sonos ecosystem. Compared to similarly priced models like the AirPods Max or Sony’s latest WH-1000XM6, the Ace holds its ground, especially at this discounted price. Whether you’re replacing an old pair or trying premium noise-canceling headphones for the first time, this deal makes the Sonos Ace worth a serious look.
