Sonos Ace Ultra – Over-Ear Headphones with Noise Cancelling and Sonos System Connectivity

The Sonos Ace Ultra is an over-ear headphone with adaptive noise cancellation, rich, detailed sound, and up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC enabled. A next-generation driver developed by Sonos delivers clear, balanced sound with deeper bass and no distortion.

Its greatest advantage is at home: with the press of a button, sound can be switched back and forth between the headphones and your own Sonos system, including TV audio from compatible soundbars with Dolby Atmos.

Sonos Ace Ultra Features at a Glance

Sonos Ace Ultra Sound

A specially developed 40 mm driver is housed in each ear cup, delivering clear, balanced sound with deeper bass, tuned with the support of GRAMMY-winning audio engineers. The Ace Ultra supports 3D audio content from compatible services as well as lossless audio over Bluetooth with Qualcomm aptX or a USB-C connection. It also plays Dolby Atmos with compatible content and devices.

The Sonos app allows bass, mids, and highs to be adjusted with a 3- or 8-band equalizer. The adaptive equalizer automatically compensates for acoustic "leaks" caused by fit, glasses, or hair.

Noise Cancellation and Comfort

Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation uses ten microphones to capture the environment and filter out unwanted noise, continuously adapting to changes in fit. In Aware mode, ambient noise remains audible, with optional speech enhancement that can also be enabled. During phone calls, Sidetone ensures that your own voice sounds natural despite active noise cancellation.

Soft foam on the ear pads and an adjustable headband ensure all-day comfort. Wear detection automatically pauses the music when you take the headphones off and resumes it when you put them back on.

Connectivity with the Sonos System

Headphone Engine 2 connects the Ace Ultra directly to the rest of your Sonos system. With the press of a button, music is streamed from speakers to the headphones and back; the connection requires Wi-Fi and at least one compatible Sonos speaker, such as those in the Era, Five, Move, Roam, Sonos Play, Amp series, or a compatible soundbar. The optional Headphone Linking feature is in Early Access and may change during ongoing development.

TV Audio Swap also allows audio from compatible Sonos soundbars—including Arc Ultra, Arc, Beam Ultra, Beam (Gen. 2), Beam, and Ray—to be streamed to the headphones, including Dolby Atmos. TrueCinema tunes the listening experience to the room and soundbar, while dynamic head tracking keeps the sound spatially positioned at its location.

Battery Life and Charging

A 1,060 mAh lithium-ion battery enables up to 35 hours of playback with Active Noise Cancellation enabled or in Aware mode. Charging is via the included USB-C cable; a full charge from 0% takes a maximum of 3 hours. With a depleted battery, the fast charging feature provides up to 3 hours of listening time after just 3 minutes of charging.
