It’s been years since we started hearing rumours of a new pair of Sonos headphones. Now they are here, and they are, in my opinion, worth the wait.

Dubbed the Sonos Ace, this is a premium pair of noise-cancelling headphones that combines the brand’s audio excellence with its networked audio skills. 

While they are a great pair of headphones in their own right, they become magical if you have a Sonos Arc powering your home theatre setup. 

And that’s probably the biggest selling point. There are plenty of brilliant noise-cancelling headphones on the market today, but the way these integrate into a Sonos-powered home can’t be compared with.
