Sonos Ace Ultra Wireless Over-Ear Headphones – Black

Overview

The Sonos Ace Ultra are wireless over-ear headphones designed for customers who want detailed personal audio alongside effective noise control, long battery life and flexible connectivity. Their Soft White finish and over-ear design make them suitable for listening at home, travelling or working away from the main living space.

They combine Bluetooth 6.0 with USB-C and 3.5mm connections, so you can listen wirelessly or use a physical connection with compatible equipment. Spatial audio, Dolby Atmos and lossless audio are also supported with compatible content and devices.

For Sonos owners, the Ace Ultra offer an additional level of integration. Compatible audio can be moved between the headphones and your Sonos system, while compatible Sonos soundbars can send TV audio directly to the headphones.

The headphones are also designed with longer listening sessions in mind, with adjustable ear cups and headband, plush ear cushions and a 322g weight.

Sound Quality & Comfort

The Ace Ultra use a custom 40mm driver in each ear cup, providing a dedicated driver for each side of the headphones. They support spatial audio and Dolby Atmos with compatible content and equipment, while lossless audio is available over Bluetooth with a compatible device or through USB-C.

Adaptive EQ automatically adjusts the sound to account for changes in fit, including factors such as movement, glasses and hair. You can also adjust the bass, midrange and treble through the Sonos app using either a three-band or eight-band EQ.

For listening in noisy surroundings, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation uses ten microphones to monitor external sound and adjust the noise reduction. This can be particularly useful when travelling, working in a shared space or listening somewhere with a lot of background activity.

When you need to hear what is happening around you, Aware mode allows ambient sound through while you continue listening to your content. Voice Boost can also make surrounding speech easier to hear.

The over-ear design uses plush foam around the ears, while the headband and ear cups can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit. Wear detection can pause your music when you remove the headphones and resume playback when you put them back on.

Features That Matter

Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation

Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation monitors external sound through ten microphones and adjusts the level of noise reduction. It also accounts for changes in fit caused by movement, glasses, hair and other factors.

This makes the Ace Ultra useful when you want to reduce distractions without constantly adjusting the headphones as your surroundings change.

Aware Mode and Voice Boost

Aware mode allows surrounding sound to come through while you continue listening. This is useful when you need to remain aware of conversations, announcements or activity around you.

Voice Boost can make nearby voices easier to hear, giving you more control over how much of your surroundings you want to let through.

Up to 35 Hours of Battery Life

The 1060mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 35 hours of listening with Active Noise Cancellation or Aware mode enabled.

When you need a quick top-up, three minutes of charging provides up to three hours of listening time from an empty battery. A complete charge can take up to three hours.

Wireless and Wired Connectivity

Bluetooth 6.0 provides wireless audio from compatible Bluetooth devices. The Ace Ultra also support Wi-Fi for linking with compatible Sonos systems.

For wired listening, both USB-C and 3.5mm connections are supported. This gives you greater flexibility when connecting to different compatible sources.

Sonos System Integration

The Content Key provides a convenient way to move compatible audio between the Ace Ultra and compatible Sonos products. This can be useful if you already have a Sonos system and want to switch between listening privately and using your speakers.

Compatible Sonos soundbars can also send TV audio to the headphones, allowing you to watch television privately without relying on the sound from the room’s speakers.

Spatial Audio and Dynamic Head Tracking

The Ace Ultra support spatial audio, Dolby Atmos and dynamic head tracking with compatible content and equipment. Dynamic head tracking helps maintain the position of sounds as you move your head, making it particularly relevant for compatible film and television content.

Personalised Sound

The Sonos app provides adjustable EQ settings, allowing you to change the bass, mids and treble to suit your preferences. Adaptive EQ also responds automatically to changes that can affect the way the headphones fit around your ears.

Everyday Benefits

The combination of long battery life and rapid charging makes the Ace Ultra suitable for regular daily use. With up to 35 hours of listening available with Active Noise Cancellation or Aware mode enabled, charging does not need to become part of your daily routine.

Active Noise Cancellation is useful when you want fewer distractions, while Aware mode gives you the flexibility to remain aware of what is happening around you. Together, they make it easier to adapt the headphones to different environments.

For Sonos owners, system integration adds another practical benefit. You can move compatible audio between your headphones and Sonos products rather than treating your headphones as a completely separate listening system.

Wear detection also helps with everyday convenience, automatically pausing playback when you remove the headphones and resuming it when you put them back on.

Who Is It Ideal For?

The Sonos Ace Ultra are particularly suited to customers who:

• Want comfortable wireless over-ear headphones for extended listening.
• Regularly listen in busy environments and want Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation.
• Want long battery life with rapid charging for travel or everyday use.

• Already own compatible Sonos products and want their headphones to work as part of the wider system.
• Want to use headphones for private TV listening with compatible Sonos equipment.

Why Choose This Product?

The Ace Ultra bring together the main considerations when choosing wireless over-ear headphones: sound quality, comfort, noise control, battery life and connectivity.

The 40mm drivers, spatial audio support and adjustable EQ provide flexibility for music listening, while Dolby Atmos and dynamic head tracking add further options for compatible films and television content.

The headphones are also practical for everyday use. Up to 35 hours of battery life, rapid charging, wear detection and both wireless and wired connections reduce the need to compromise between convenience and flexibility.

For customers who already use compatible Sonos products, the ability to move audio between the headphones and their Sonos system makes the Ace Ultra particularly relevant.
