'Timeless design hides world-class tech': behind the design of the new Sonos Ace headphones

Sonos Ace.

2024 has proven an eventful year for Sonos. While it's the brand's controversial new app UI that has hogged headlines, we've also seen the company move into a brand new product category with Ace, its first pair of premium headphones.

While Ace offers incredible sound, quality noise cancellation and the ability to stream audio from its soundbars thanks to its 'TV swap' feature, the headline feature of the headphones might just be the design. From the leather-like ear cushions to the metalic frame, Sonos Ace leans into luxury design (and luxury pricing too – the headphones will set you back £449 / $449). While the obvious comparison is Apple's AirPods Max, we've found Ace to be lighter and more comfortable, without sacrificing any of the premium feel. From sound to design, these are some of the best wireless headphones available right now.
