Description
Immersive Spatial Audio. Advanced Adaptive ANC. Up to 35 Hours Battery Life with ANC On.
Enjoy premium personal listening with the Sonos Ace Ultra Wireless Headphones in Black. Designed for music, films, calls, travel and private home cinema listening, Ace Ultra combines custom Sonos-engineered drivers, advanced Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, spatial audio and deep integration with compatible Sonos systems.
Each ear cup features a custom 40mm driver engineered by Sonos to deliver clear, balanced audio with deep bass, fine detail and low distortion. The acoustic system has been tuned with input from GRAMMY and Oscar-winning engineers, helping provide a refined listening experience across music, dialogue and entertainment.
Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation uses ten microphones to analyse your surroundings and reduce unwanted external sound in real time. Sonos states that Ace Ultra delivers up to twice the Active Noise Cancellation performance of Sonos Ace at frequencies up to 65Hz, helping reduce persistent low-frequency background noise such as engine rumble and similar environmental sounds.
When you need greater awareness of your surroundings, Aware mode allows ambient sound back into your listening experience. Voice Boost can make nearby voices easier to hear, while Sidetone helps your own voice sound more natural during calls when Active Noise Cancellation is enabled.
A 1060mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 35 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation switched on at moderate volume. Battery life depends on usage, settings and environmental factors. Rapid charging from 0% can provide up to three hours of listening from a three-minute charge, while a full charge from 0% can take up to three hours.
Ace Ultra also connects more closely with compatible Sonos systems than conventional Bluetooth headphones. TV Audio Swap lets you transfer television sound from a compatible Sonos soundbar directly to the headphones, while Headphone Linking can move supported music between compatible Sonos speakers and Ace Ultra.
Headphone Linking is an Early Access feature. It is opt-in, provided as-is and subject to change or limitation during ongoing development. A compatible Sonos speaker, WiFi connection and setup through the Sonos app are required.
Finished in Matte Black and weighing approximately 322g, Sonos Ace Ultra combines premium materials, plush cushioning and adjustable ear cups with Bluetooth 6.0, WiFi system linking, USB-C audio and included 3.5mm connectivity for flexible everyday listening.
