Sonos sees your AirPods Max 2 and raises you an Ace ‘Ultra’, and the much-rumored second-generation headphones sound extreme
The Sonos Ace Ultra have been rumored and spotted in filings multiple times. So how soon can we expect them — and will they join the multi-room ecosystem?
Sonos Ace Ultra headphones, rumored to be the company's follow-up to the original Ace, have been spotted in FCC listings, sparking speculation about their features and capabilities. The Ultra name suggests that these headphones may offer an enhanced experience compared to the original Ace, potentially with a more advanced multi-driver setup and additional features.
If these rumors hold true, Sonos may be positioning the Ace Ultra as a premium alternative to other high-end headphones like Apple's AirPods Max, Sony's WH-1000XM6, Bose's QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen, and Dali IO-8. A crucial question remains: will the Ace Ultra seamlessly integrate with Sonos' multi-room audio ecosystem, allowing users to effortlessly hand off audio between the headphones and Sonos speakers in their homes?
The original Ace only supported this feature when paired with Sonos Arc, leaving many disappointed. While leak details are still scarce, industry experts suggest that proper audio hand-off to Sonos' wireless speaker array would be a significant improvement over the current offering and a key selling point for the Ace Ultra.
