The Sonos Ace are a great product that came at the wrong time. The company\u2019s app crisis pretty much overshadowed their debut in 2024, which is a shame considering they\u2019re a gorgeous pair of over-ear headphones with powerful, detailed sound and a comfortable design that lets you easily swap the ear pads. Sound-wise, you can expect something on par with what you might get from a pair of Bose or Apple headphones, with a natural-sounding transparency mode that\u2019s really only second to the original AirPods Max (no word on the Max 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The biggest downside to the Ace is that you can\u2019t play music over Wi-Fi or group them with the company\u2019s in-home speakers (although they do support wired audio over USB-C). However, for me, the fact that they can leverage Sonos\u2019 TV Audio Swap feature is what makes them a standout. The unique tool allows you to instantly transfer the sound from a Sonos soundbar \u2014 including the Sonos Arc, the entry-level Sonos Ray, and both iterations of the Sonos Beam \u2014 to either one or two pairs of the Ace with the simple press of a button. You can also trigger the feature within the Sonos app, which lets you enable spatial audio and head tracking for a fuller, more cinematic experience.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, TV Audio Swap is only going to appeal to those already tapped into the Sonos ecosystem. That said, I routinely use the feature to listen while watching movies and gaming (with minimal lag!), mostly so I don\u2019t disturb folks in my household who might be sleeping. Sonos\u2019 newer TrueCinema mode<\/a> even lets me fine-tune the virtual surround sound in a similar fashion to the company\u2019s speaker-based TruePlay feature, ensuring the headphones reflect the acoustics of my space. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sonos Ace are a great product that came at the wrong time.
