Remember when the rumour mill for Sonos's first wireless headphones was churning, and the one thing that dedicated fans were all hoping for – a feature that experts all thought was pretty much guaranteed – was a seamless way to play music between the new Sonos headphones and existing Sonos wireless speakers in your home?
After all, Sonos was famed for its seamless multi-room ecosystem spanning various-sized wireless speakers and soundbars that could all be interconnected to stream music. Well, the Sonos Ace arrived and, to the disappointment of nearly everyone, the headphones didn't feature wi-fi or a way to hand music off to and from any of its many wireless speakers such as the Sonos One or Era 300; they are only compatible with specific Sonos soundbars for a similar TV Audio Swap feature. It felt rather limiting considering the scope of Sonos's wireless ecosystem and ambitions.
