The new Sonos Ace over-the-ear headphones, the company’s first, are lightweight, power-conscious essentials for the modern man on the go.
So you you’re a fan of good sound and prefer the rest of the world to be set to pause when you’re enjoying it? We hear you loud and clear. There’s nothing worse than external distractions, tinny audio, clunky headphones or a battery weaker than the cell signal in the North Pole. Good headphones have become a ubiquitous element of our everyday carry, whether you’re taking calls on the go or simply need to listen to your pre-gym jams. Fortunately, speaker company Sonos has joined the party with its new Sonos Ace headphones.

The company’s first foray into the head candy space, the over-the-ear Bluetooth Sonos Ace headphones available in black and soft white, promises breathtaking lossless and spatial audio, world-class Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Aware Mode, as well as the most precise and immersive home theatre experience possible, complete with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos, using Sonos’ new TrueCinema technology, which precisely maps your space then renders a complete surround sound system for a listening experience so realistic you’ll forget you’re wearing headphones.
So what can else you expect from your new commute companions? Well there’s high-fidelity sound, naturally, whether you’re listening to a podcast or taking a call thanks to the Sonos Ace’s two custom-designed drivers that render each frequency with impeccable precision and clarity; and up to 30 hours of battery life – making them ideal for travel, especially with the included felt travel case (which is made from 75% recycled materials) – with the ability to gain an extra three hours with just three minutes of charging via a USB-C cable.

Sonos Ace headphones were also made to look and feel as good as they sounds. Their distinctive, slim profile beautifully blends metal accents with a sleek matte finish, complementing any style no matter how fast trends move,, while their lightweight material, including a pillowy soft memory foam interior and vegan leather, will make you forget you’re even wearing over-the-ear cups.
Contrasting colours inside the ear cups subtly signal which way to put the headphones on and beautifully-tactile buttons make controls easy to use while wearing them. When you’re done listening, put Sonos Ace away effortlessly thanks to its fold flat design that fits snugly in its lightweight travel case.
