As soon as<\/span> you want to hear the same music in multiple rooms, you understand why so many people love Sonos<\/a>. When it comes to set-it and-forget-it multiroom audio, the company makes the hardware and software experience easier than anyone. From speakers to soundbars (and even turntables<\/a> and networked amps), Sonos has taken over the homes of everyone who doesn’t want to drop oodles of cash on a \u201creal\u201d custom-installed system with wires running through walls. In a roundabout way, this makes a somewhat-costly Sonos system feel affordable.<\/p>\n

The same can be said about its first pair of headphones, the $450 Sonos Ace<\/a>. They might ride the high-water mark of the price set by Apple’s AirPods Max<\/a>, but they also work seamlessly within Sonos\u2019 ecosystem, albeit over Bluetooth rather than Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

Sonos has dabbled in portable speakers like the Roam<\/a> and Sonos Move 2<\/a> to extend its in-home sound to patios and beach blankets, but the Ace headphones mark a real mobile turning point for the company, and they’re largely great. They might not perfectly match the expectations of audio nerds who have been begging for Wi-Fi-based Sonos headphones for a decade, but the Ace are a fantastic pair of Bluetooth over-ears that go toe to toe with the best from Bose, Sony, and Apple<\/a>. If you’re shopping for premium wireless headphones, these should be on your short list.<\/p>\n

Going Mobile<\/h2>\n

The Ace feel incredibly well-made. Pop open the included hard case\u2014something the Airpods Max<\/a> notably, and very oddly, lack\u2014and you\u2019ll see a sleek pair of over-ears with shiny metal bands and supple leather around the headband. They’re round, traditionally shaped headphones that do nothing to grab anyone’s attention\u2014they look a lot<\/em> like Sony’s WH-1000XM5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The simple design is timeless, sleek, and professional, so as never to seem out of place. It’s a design language borrowed from the \u201cI didn’t see you there\u201d styling of its speakers, and a welcome one in the world of flashy modern cans. Like the speakers, they come in matte white or black.<\/p>\n
