Sonos calls this "headphone linking," and it's something other headphones can't do.

New Sonos Ace Ultra headphones have a genius linking feature I can’t live without

In a recent development, Sonos has introduced a groundbreaking feature called "headphone linking" for their new Ace Ultra headphones. This innovative function seamlessly links the audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar or speaker to the headphones, eliminating the need for cumbersome cables and bridging the gap between wired and wireless connections.

The volume button on the Ace Ultra headphones doubles as an audio handover button, allowing for a quick switch between the soundbar and headphones. The headphones also offer an immersive surround sound experience with head tracking, ensuring that sounds are always heard from the correct direction. In addition to this, Sonos Ace Ultra features an Aware mode, enabling users to listen to household sounds while enjoying their media quietly.

To enable this feature, the entire system needs to be connected to the same WiFi network, including the TV, soundbar, headphones, and mobile device. Sonos has marked this as an "early access" feature, which is opt-in, provided as is, and subject to future changes.
