Sonos finally unveiled its first headphones earlier this week (5/21). The arrival of the Sonos Ace headphones felt like it was coming for a long time, but when launched on 6/5 they're a great addition to the company's lineup, but they make it to our list of the best noise-cancelling headphones.

I haven't received a review pair of Sonos Ace headphones yet, but from the specs and briefings I've had so far, slick multi-room speakers and components

I've been following rumors of Sonos headphones for several years now. I'm glad that much of the speculation about Sonos' first wireless headphones seems to have come true, but everything is the way I wanted it to be.Surprisingly, one of the most anticipated Sonos features that attracted the attention of the biggest rumors is not supported after all.1

With that in mind, here's a breakdown of the 5 things I love about the new Sonos Ace headphones and what I don't love:

The premium cost of premium449/£449/AU6 699 means you can expect the usual high build quality of Sonos. According to the practical experience of my colleague Mike Prospero, they are elegant and minimalist designs. The cup is rounded oval and attached to the headband with a very slim metal connector.All the hinges are hidden inside the cup itself, which not only gives it a smooth appearance, but also helps to prevent the hair from getting caught in the mechanism.According to Sonos. 

They are available in matte finishes with metal accents, but the colors are limited to just black and soft white and lack a wider range of color options available at price competitors like Apple's AirPods Max Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. Sonos Ace headphones have a folding flat design with a slim profile. They come supplied with rigid conveying cases that they said were manufactured from recycled materials. 

I haven't compared the weight of the Sonos Ace headphones to their main rivals, but Sonos says the new headphones are a lightweight design with soft memory foam ear cushions that are comfortable all day long. Ear cushions are replaceable. 

While it makes sense that the first pair of Sonos headphones have active noise cancellation, the company says that all Sonos has its world-class active noise cancellation that allows them to pinpoint and neutralize external sounds for maximum immersion. There is a transparent mode called recognition mode to allow the wearer to hear what is happening around them. 

Noise-cancelling technology is a new field for Sonos, but at price, performance is impossible to predict until you run your own tests in the most real-world conditions in the best noise-cancelling headphone category. In the meantime, I have great expectations. 

Wireless connection works with Bluetooth5.4 with aptX Lossless, supporting Sbc, AAC codecs, when connected to a compatible playback device. This makes it a better specification than Apple AirPods Max or Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones with audio capabilities close to cd quality via Bluetooth when connected to the right playback device and the best music streaming service.

As many wireless headphones Ace headphones can connect a USB-C-to-3.5mm audio cable to the wearers and wired connection to support playback devices that listen to sound and high-resolution audio.

The Sonos Ace claims 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, which is better than some of its competitors. For example, AirPods Max is rated for 20 hours and Bose QC Ultra headphones are rated for 24 hours.

The Sonos Ace looks like the strong of 3 premium-priced noise-cancelling headphones, but the Sony399Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones have 30 hours of noise-cancelling enabled and can go for up to 40 hours when it is turned off.

Rather than adding touch controls to Ace headphones, Sonos chose a physical button on the earcups. The haptic content key provides play/pause, volume up/volume down, and the secondary button turns noise control on/off, recognition mode, and voice control options

The built-in sensor detects that you are wearing the Sonos Ace, so playback pauses when removed, and playback resumes when undone. 

Rumors of Sonos wireless headphones first began to spread in 2019. Expectations about the specifications of the brand's headphones to build the most robust home network speaker system in the world have surfaced, and Sonos's multi-room ecosystem This course excites audio enthusiasts like themselves and is also true that it can provide the best music stream from Hi-Zo Audio support. Apple music and the tide, including Apple music services.

Unfortunately, only part of it turned out to be true. But true lossless audio, Hi Zor-site Wi-Fi is not what I wanted to play with the integration directly from the updated Sonos app. They will not even integrate with external works with Sonos components such as Sonos amplifiers, Sonos Era 100, or Sonos Era 300 connected turntables or external sources.

Sonos Ace headphones are Bluetooth headphones that do not support Sonos multi-room Wi-Fi systems. It's neat when they don't connect via Wi-Fi, but at the same level of Wi-Fi integration and audio fan listening boost I wanted a
