Full Review
Sonos Ace is a premium over-ear headphone designed for people who want big, room-filling sound, excellent comfort, and the unique ability to hand TV audio off from compatible Sonos soundbars. With strong ANC, a polished app experience, and standout industrial design, it feels more lifestyle-premium than utilitarian.
What We Like
- One of the most stylish premium headphones available
- TV Audio Swap is genuinely useful for Sonos homes
- Comfort is excellent for long listening sessions
- Great wired flexibility with USB-C and 3.5mm
- Balanced, rich sound works well for movies and modern music
What Could Be Better
- Best ecosystem feature only matters if you already own Sonos
- ANC is strong but not quite Sony-level for frequent flyers
- Fewer tweakable audio options than Sony
- Premium pricing with a newer first-gen platform
