Sonos said the Ace headphones feature a sleek profile, blending metallic accents with a matte finish. The headphones have contrasting colours inside the ear cups to indicate correct placement. When not in use, the Sonos Ace headphones can be folded flat and stored in a lightweight travel case. The headphones use lightweight, premium materials for a comfortable fit, and the ear cushions are made of memory foam wrapped in vegan leather, which can be replaced.

The company added that the Sonos Ace headphones are equipped with dual custom drivers that deliver each frequency with precision and clarity. The headphones feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and an Aware Mode to allow ambient sound in. The Sonos Ace supports spatial audio with Dolby Atmos surround sound for a more immersive experience, and includes dynamic head tracking.

The headphones are also compatible with Sonos soundbars, allowing users to switch TV sound between devices. Sonos will introduce a new TrueCinema technology later this year, which the company says will map the user's surroundings for an enhanced surround sound experience.
