I tried Sonos Ace Ultra, and it does something your Bluetooth headphones can’t

The Sonos Ace Ultra is a new pair of headphones priced at $449, promising to revolutionize how we listen to audio at home. Unlike Bluetooth headphones, this device directly connects to your Wi-Fi network, bypassing the usual constraints that limit Bluetooth headphones. This enables uncompressed, zero-latency spatial audio, which is a significant improvement over standard TV Bluetooth and other playback hand-off options.

The Ace Ultra boasts a dedicated Headphone Engine 2 silicon, providing rich, detailed audio with up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) on. It operates within the Sonos system, allowing you to walk throughout your entire house without audio stutters or range limits. Walking up to any Sonos speaker in your house and tapping the action button on the earcup instantly switches the audio playing in that room, without the need for a TV or app.

This headset is not just for home use; it can also be a travel companion. It offers noise cancellation that cuts through heavy ambient room noise while maintaining clean separation between vocal and instrumental layers. Powered by a 10-microphone array, it even performs well in loud event spaces. With options for Bluetooth, USB-C, and 3.5mm wired connections, the Ace Ultra is designed to deliver acoustic isolation, long-haul comfort, and battery life suitable for both home and travel use.
