Now that Sonos has officially unveiled the Ace, I’m back in the market for my next pair of over-the-ear headphones. Here’s what’s in my cart.
Well, they are finally here. After years of rumors, Sonos has officially announced its first headphones ever: the Sonos Ace. The new over-the-ear headphones come in at $449 and will launch on June 5th, so we’re only two weeks away before we can finally get our hands on the new over-the-ear headphones.
The premium over-the-ear Bluetooth® headphones feature breathtaking lossless and spatial audio, world-class Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Aware Mode, as well as the most precise and immersive home theater experience possible using Sonos’ new TrueCinema technology. Sonos Ace will be available globally in both Black and Soft White starting June 5, 2024 for $449.
After waiting for the official announcement like everyone else and finally getting to see the features and the price, I am finally back in the market for some over-the-ear headphones. With the Sonos Ace in the mix, it’s going to be between them and the other staples: the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the Sony XM5s.
Why not the AirPods Max? I actually already had those and, after two years of testing, decided that they weren’t for me. Despite sounding absolutely amazing, the AirPods Max had two main issues that I kept running into. The first was that the headphones were just too heavy. There wasn’t any getting around it.
