Sonos has unveiled its debut over-ear headphones, named Sonos Ace, set to launch in Spain on June 5 for 499 euros. The brand aims to provide users with top-notch sound quality, sleek design, long battery life, and seamless TV connectivity. With just a single button press, users can transfer audio from their soundbar to the headphones, creating a personalized listening experience. The Sonos Ace represents the brand’s foray into a new product category, promising to redefine personal listening and enhance the television viewing experience with innovative features like surround sound and spatial audio.
Drawing on their expertise in Home Cinema setups, Sonos emphasizes the need for a soundbar to fully enjoy the Ace headphones’ capabilities. Initially compatible with the Sonos Arc model, the company plans to extend compatibility to additional models in the near future. Beyond TV connectivity, the Sonos Ace headphones are designed to accompany users throughout the day, competing with major players like Sony, Apple, and Bose. The headphones boast an elegant design for enhanced comfort during extended periods of use, along with a battery that supports up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge, with rapid charging capabilities.
The Sonos Ace headphones feature active noise cancellation to eliminate external distractions, allowing for maximum immersion in the audio experience. Users can also activate the ‘Aware’ mode to stay aware of their surroundings when necessary. The headphones employ advanced technology like Dolby Head Tracking for a hyper-realistic listening experience and offer crystal clear calls with a multitude of integrated microphones. The headphones come in two sleek color options, black and white, with a matte finish and stainless steel accents, along with memory foam and leather for optimal comfort.
The environmentally-conscious packaging of the Sonos Ace headphones includes 100% recycled materials and comes with USB-C and 3.5mm cables, as well as a fabric case for safe transport. While the headphones can be used without the Sonos app, users can customize their experience further through the app. With a focus on delivering unparalleled sound quality, comfort, and style, Sonos Ace aims to set a new standard in the over-ear headphone market.
