- The Sonos Ace claims to offer lossless audio through either USB-C or over Bluetooth 5.4 with a supported device that features Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound AptX for Lossless.

Sonos is best known for its premium speakers and soundbars, which provide some of the best holistic experiences in the living room. The company is now marking its entry into the personal audio category with the launch of the Sonos Ace headphones.
The new Sonos Ace are premium over-ear headphones with a 40mm dynamic driver in each cup. They also have eight beamforming microphones for noise control and voice targeting. The headphones have a fold-flat design and come with a travel case, making them easy to travel with.
The Ace headphones feature lossless audio through either USB-C or over Bluetooth 5.4 with a supported device that features Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound AptX for Lossless.
There’s also spatial audio here for a Dolby Atmos experience, ANC, and an Ambient sound mode. You can also adjust the EQ and tune bass, treble, and loudness through the Sonos app.
The Sonos Ace has a 1,060mAh battery that promises up to 30 hours of listening time with ANC. When the device runs out of juice, you can get up to 3 hours of listening time with just three minutes of charge.
One of the highlights of the Sonos Ace is the ability to swap sound from a compatible Sonos soundbar to the Sonos Ace headphones. So, if you have an existing Sonos speaker around, you’d benefit from this ecosystem feature.
Further, Sonos is promising an “all-new” TrueCinema technology that will precisely map your space and render a complete surround sound system. This feature is promised to arrive later this year.
