Description
Immersive Spatial Sound. Intelligent Adaptive ANC. Premium Comfort with Up to 35 Hours of Listening.
Experience personal audio at its most immersive with the Sonos Ace Ultra Premium Wireless Headphones in White. Designed for music, movies, calls, travelling and private home cinema listening, Ace Ultra combines sophisticated Sonos acoustic engineering with advanced noise cancellation, spatial audio and seamless connectivity.
Custom 40mm Sonos-engineered drivers sit inside each ear cup, delivering detailed, balanced sound with deep bass and impressive clarity. Tuned with input from GRAMMY and Oscar-winning engineers, Ace Ultra is engineered to reveal subtle musical detail while keeping dialogue, vocals and low frequencies clean and controlled.
Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation uses ten microphones to continuously respond to your surroundings and changes in headphone fit. Sonos states that Ace Ultra provides up to twice the Active Noise Cancellation performance of Sonos Ace at frequencies up to 65Hz, helping reduce distracting low-frequency sounds such as engine rumble and other persistent background noise.
When you need to hear more of the world around you, Aware mode allows ambient sound through without requiring you to remove the headphones. Voice Boost can help nearby speech sound clearer, while Sidetone lets you hear your own voice more naturally during calls when ANC is active.
Spatial audio, Dolby Atmos support and dynamic head tracking bring compatible movies, TV and music to life with a greater sense of direction and space. For compatible Sonos home cinema systems, TV Audio Swap can move television sound directly from your soundbar to Ace Ultra, while TrueCinema tunes the private listening experience to your room.
The rechargeable 1060mAh battery provides up to 35 hours of listening with Active Noise Cancellation switched on at moderate volume. When power is running low, rapid charging from 0% can provide up to three hours of playback from just three minutes of charging.
Finished in elegant Soft White with plush memory foam ear cushions, adjustable ear cups and a carefully balanced headband, Sonos Ace Ultra combines premium sound with comfort designed for extended listening sessions.

- Natural vocal reproduction
- Detailed mid-range
- Clear high frequencies
- Designed for clean, low-distortion sound
The acoustic tuning was developed with input from award-winning audio professionals to help deliver a precise and refined listening experience.
Immersive Spatial Audio
Ace Ultra supports spatial audio from compatible devices and streaming services, allowing supported music, films and programmes to create a greater sense of depth and direction around the listener.
Rather than feeling restricted to conventional left and right stereo channels, compatible spatial content can feel more expansive and enveloping.
Dolby Atmos Support
Enjoy compatible Dolby Atmos content with an enhanced sense of space, positioning and immersion.
Dolby Atmos requires compatible content and a compatible device or supported Sonos home theatre configuration.
Dynamic Head Tracking
Sonos Intelligent Motion Processing works with Dolby Head Tracking to respond to the movement of your head.
When enabled with compatible spatial content, the soundstage can remain naturally positioned as you turn your head, helping recreate the sensation of listening to speakers placed around the room.
Dynamic head tracking can be enabled through the Sonos app.
Lossless Audio Support
Hear additional musical detail from compatible high-quality sources with support for lossless audio.
- Lossless playback over Bluetooth using Qualcomm aptX with a supported device
- Lossless playback through a compatible USB-C wired connection
- Suitable for high-quality music sources
Available audio quality depends on the source device, service, codec, content and connection being used.
Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation
Ace Ultra uses Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation to reduce unwanted environmental sound while continuously responding to the way the headphones fit.
The system uses ten microphones and can compensate for acoustic leaks caused by factors including hair, glasses, head movement and changes in ear-cup positioning.
- Real-time adaptive noise reduction
- 10-microphone system
- Adjusts for changes in fit
- Compensates for glasses and hair
- Ideal for commuting and travel
- Helps reduce persistent background noise
Up to 2x More ANC Than Sonos Ace
Sonos states that Ace Ultra provides up to twice the Active Noise Cancellation performance of Sonos Ace at frequencies up to 65Hz.
This comparison applies specifically to frequencies within the stated range and should not be interpreted as twice the ANC performance across every audible frequency. Actual results vary according to fit, environment and listening conditions.
Aware Mode
Need to hear an announcement, traffic or someone speaking nearby? Aware mode allows surrounding sound into your listening experience without requiring you to take the headphones off.
- Hear more of your surroundings
- Useful while commuting
- Ideal for stations and airports
- Convenient around colleagues and family
Voice Boost
Voice Boost works with Aware mode to make nearby speech easier to hear, helping you remain engaged with conversations and important announcements while continuing to wear your headphones.
Adaptive EQ
The acoustic seal around a pair of headphones can change when you move or wear glasses. Adaptive EQ dynamically compensates for changes caused by fit, hair, glasses and other acoustic leaks.
This helps Ace Ultra maintain more consistent sound throughout your listening session.
3-Band & 8-Band EQ Control
Fine-tune Ace Ultra to your personal listening preference using the Sonos app.
- Choose 3-band or 8-band EQ

Ten built-in microphones support several of Ace Ultra's intelligent audio functions.
- Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation

Sidetone for Natural-Sounding Calls
When noise cancellation is active, it can sometimes be difficult to judge the volume of your own voice. Sidetone helps by allowing you to hear yourself naturally through the headphones during calls.
This can make conversations feel more comfortable without needing to disable ANC.
Wear Detection
Built-in wear detection makes everyday listening more intuitive.
- Playback can pause when you remove the headphones
- Playback can resume when you put them back on
- Less need to reach for your phone
