Everything you want in a headphone. And then some. Detailed spatial sound from a new driver, up to 2x more Active Noise Cancellation than Sonos Ace, up to 35 hours of battery life, and a connection to your Sonos system no other headphones can match - one press sends sound from your speakers to your ears and back again.

Key Highlights

• Sonos-engineered driver tuned with GRAMMY and Oscar-winning engineers
• Adaptive ANC with ten microphones - up to 2x more effective than Sonos Ace
• Up to 35 hours of listening with ANC on; 3 minutes of charging gives 3 hours of playback
• Swap sound between your Sonos speakers and headphones with one press

Technology & Benefits

Every Note, Just Right

A custom 40mm Sonos-engineered driver in each ear cup, tuned with GRAMMY and Oscar-winning engineers, delivers deeper bass, finer detail, and zero distortion. Adaptive EQ accounts for fit, glasses, hair, and other acoustic leaks, adjusting the balance on the fly, while the Sonos app offers 3-band or 8-band EQ for personal preference. Lossless audio is available over Bluetooth using Qualcomm aptX with a supported device, or over USB-C.

Noise Cancelled - Except When You Need It

Adaptive ANC uses ten microphones to read your surroundings and filter out unwanted noise in real time, adapting to changes in fit caused by head movement or glasses. But not everything around you is noise: Aware mode blends ambient sound with what you're listening to, with no need to pause or take the headphones off, and voice boost makes speech clearer. Sidetone lets you hear your own voice naturally during calls even with ANC on.

Up to 35 Hours of Listening Time

A 1060 mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 35 hours of listening with ANC or Aware mode on - and even more with them off. When the battery needs a boost, three minutes of charging gives up to three hours of playback, and a full charge takes up to three hours.

Plays Nice with Your System

One press of the Content Key sends whatever's playing on your speakers - a playlist, movie, vinyl - to Sonos Ace Ultra. Another press sends it back. No other headphones do this. From a compatible Sonos soundbar you can send TV audio straight to your headphones, Dolby Atmos and all, with TrueCinema tuning the sound to your room and dynamic head tracking keeping sound anchored in place when you turn your head. Headphone linking is available in Early Access and requires a compatible Sonos speaker, WiFi, and the Sonos app.

Forget You're Wearing Them

Plush memory foam seals softly around your ears. The headband and ear cups adjust for a precise fit, and hour ten feels as good as minute one. The ear cushions and battery are designed to be swapped out - so your headphones don't have to be when the battery wears down after years of use. The headphones themselves are built with 8% recycled plastic and 14% bio-based plastic, while the carry case is made with 80% recycled plastic.

Designed Around How You Listen

Wear detection pauses the music when you take the headphones off and resumes when you put them back on. The Content Key adjusts volume, swaps audio, and takes calls. The noise control button on the right ear cup switches between ANC and Aware mode, with a long press for your voice assistant. A double tap on the power button on the left cup switches Bluetooth sources — from a movie on your laptop to a call on your phone.

Who Are They For?

Sonos Ace Ultra is designed first and foremost for Sonos system owners - swapping sound between speakers and headphones and the soundbar connection are features you won't find elsewhere. At the same time, they're fully capable travel headphones with strong noise cancellation and long battery life, well suited to flights and daily commuting.

Expert Tip from vsystem.bg

If you already own a Sonos soundbar, be sure to run TrueCinema - it measures how your room sounds and carries that acoustic signature into the headphones, so films sound like they're coming from the speakers rather than from inside your head. Lossless audio over Bluetooth requires an aptX-capable device; on iPhone, use the USB-C cable instead. The included USB-C to 3.5 mm cable is useful both on a plane and with other devices that lack Bluetooth.
