Custom 40mm Sonos-Engineered Sound
Each ear cup features a custom 40mm driver engineered by Sonos to deliver clear, balanced audio across music, films and spoken content. The acoustic system is designed to reproduce deep bass, detailed mid-range frequencies and precise highs while maintaining low distortion.
Adaptive EQ responds to changes in headphone fit caused by factors such as glasses, hair and movement, helping maintain consistent sound quality. You can also personalise your listening through the Sonos app using 3-band or more detailed 8-band EQ adjustment.
Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos & Dynamic Head Tracking
Sonos Ace Ultra supports spatial audio and Dolby Atmos with compatible content and devices, creating a more expansive listening experience with a greater sense of direction, space and depth than conventional stereo playback.
Sonos Intelligent Motion Processing with Dolby Head Tracking responds to movements of your head during compatible spatial listening, helping keep the virtual soundstage naturally positioned as you move.
Ace Ultra also supports lossless audio through compatible Qualcomm aptX Bluetooth devices and supported USB-C wired connections, allowing you to enjoy high-quality playback from compatible sources.
Advanced Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation
Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation continuously responds to your surroundings and the way the headphones are being worn. A ten-microphone system helps analyse unwanted external noise while compensating for changes in fit caused by movement, glasses, hair and other acoustic leaks.
Sonos states that Ace Ultra provides up to twice the Active Noise Cancellation performance of Sonos Ace at frequencies up to 65Hz. This comparison specifically relates to low-frequency noise within the stated range, with actual ANC performance depending on fit, surroundings and listening conditions.
When you need to hear more of your surroundings, Aware mode allows ambient sound through without requiring you to remove the headphones. Voice Boost can make nearby voices easier to hear, while Sidetone helps your own voice sound more natural during calls when ANC is active.
Up to 35 Hours Battery Life
Ace Ultra provides up to 35 hours of listening with Active Noise Cancellation switched on at moderate volume, giving you enough battery capacity for extended listening, commuting and long journeys. Actual battery life will vary according to volume, features, usage and environmental conditions.
When the battery is depleted, rapid charging can provide up to three hours of listening from a three-minute charge starting at 0%. A full charge from 0% can take up to three hours using a compatible USB-C power source.
TV Audio Swap & TrueCinema
Sonos Ace Ultra can operate independently as premium Bluetooth headphones, but deeper integration is available when they're used with compatible Sonos home cinema products.
TV Audio Swap lets you transfer television audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar directly to Ace Ultra for private listening. This makes it possible to enjoy films, television and gaming without the soundbar continuing to play into the room.
TrueCinema works with a compatible Sonos home cinema setup to tune Ace Ultra to your room and soundbar. Combined with spatial audio and dynamic head tracking, this helps create a more realistic private home cinema experience.
Bluetooth, WiFi & Wired Listening
Bluetooth 6.0 provides straightforward wireless listening from compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth devices, so you don't need to own an existing Sonos system to use Ace Ultra.
WiFi is also included for selected Sonos system features, while the supplied USB-C to USB-C cable supports compatible wired audio. A USB-C to 3.5mm cable is also included for connecting to compatible analogue audio sources.
Premium Comfort in Matte Black
Finished in understated Matte Black, Sonos Ace Ultra combines premium styling with plush memory foam cushioning, an adjustable headband and adjustable ear cups designed for comfortable extended listening.
At approximately 322g, the headphones are designed for listening at home as well as commuting and travel. Replaceable ear cushions help extend their usable life, while the battery is also designed to be replaceable rather than requiring the complete headphones to be replaced when the battery eventually reaches the end of its service life.
A dedicated travel case is included, complete with a removable cable pouch for neatly storing the supplied USB-C and 3.5mm audio cables.
