Weve known for some time that Sonos has been working on a pair ofhigh-end cans.
At 312g, these arent the lightest headphones youll come across.
The Ace sports a thoughtful design.
Fun fact: Sonos tested 26 shades of white to develop the “perfect one.”Photo: Dua Rashid / Gizmodo
The memory foam padding is wrapped with vegan leather for added comfort.
Theyre minimal and classy and help with adding a little flair to the cans.
I love that the extenders hinges are concealed inside the earcup.

The Sonos team said this was done so the extender wouldnt catch on your hair.
The headphones sport a Control Key that handles playback, calls, and TV audio swap.
It instantly switches audio from the Arc soundbar to the Ace when pressed and held.

I tried this while watching Barbie and cycled the audio between the Arc and the Ace a few times.
Its a nice feature if you plan to invest in the Sonos ecosystem.
Im excited to test it outside this controlled environment and in the real world.
