This feature, part of the new Headphone Engine 2 hardware, allows the Ace Ultra to connect directly to a Sonos system, enabling users to move their audio from the headphones back to the speakers with a simple button press.

This functionality operates without requiring the phone to remain within range, and it functions best when paired with existing Sonos speakers throughout the home. The Ace Ultra boasts upgraded Adaptive Active Noise Cancelation, a 40mm driver, and up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC. It also supports multiple connection options, including USB-C, a 3.5mm jack, and direct Sonos integration. The headphones are priced at $449 and will be available starting September 29.
