Sonos is renowned for its exceptional smart speakers and soundbars, which are celebrated for delivering high-quality audio. However, what might surprise you is their outstanding Sonos Ace headphones, introduced last summer. Currently, they’re available for just $349, down from the original price of $449—a historical low according to price monitoring services.

The Sonos Ace headphones are designed for comfort, featuring a soft fit that adjusts to various head sizes, thanks to their flexible plastic build. Unlike many modern alternatives that rely on touch controls, these headphones provide physical buttons, which enhances user experience considerably. Battery life is exceptional as well—offering approximately 30 hours of use with either Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Aware Mode active, and around 40 hours when both features are disabled. The Bluetooth multipoint capability allows seamless connectivity to two devices simultaneously.

According to a rave review from PCMag, the sound quality is superb, enhanced by an app-based equalizer for personalized tuning. Both ANC and Aware Mode are rated among the best in the industry, although these headphones do not support Wi-Fi streaming like Sonos speakers do. However, connecting to Sonos units via Bluetooth is an option, enabling an engaging audio experience.

At this price point, Sonos Ace headphones stand out when compared to top choices for Apple users, such as the AirPods Max, and flagship headphones for Android users like Sony’s WH-1000XM5. For those prioritizing transparency features or who own Sonos speakers, the Ace headphones are an unbeatable option. Otherwise, exploring AirPods Max or WH-1000XM5 may be worthwhile.
