Well-put-together noise-canceling headphones with Sonos DNA

I've waited a long time to say this: meet the very first headphones from Sonos. Crutchfield started carrying Sonos gear back in 2005 — and since then we've heard from customers countless times wondering when a product like this might arrive. The Sonos Ace wireless noise-canceling headphones are made of premium parts and packed with the latest technologies, including dynamic head-tracking for spatial audio. (Read my full hands-on review.)

The Sonos Ace headphones use Dolby Atmos processing and high-grade drivers to serve up spacious, detailed sound.

This represents a new frontier for the company and it differs in a few key ways from any other product Sonos has released. These are Bluetooth headphones that do not connect to your home network or appear as a “room” in the Sonos app. In other ways, they fit right into the Sonos ecosystem. They share a familiar design language, offer thoughtful controls, and promise a supersized and vivid sonic presentation.

Advanced Bluetooth connectivity and a special TV headphone feature

Music and podcasts play wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.4, a newer version that's stronger and more reliable. It also allows for less compression with certain phones. You'll use your native music apps and streaming services for music playback, rather than the Sonos app.

Inside the Sonos app, the headphones will show up separately from your Sonos multi-room system. The app lets you adjust EQ, customize controls, and activate the "TV Audio Swap" feature (available for iOS and Android). If you have a Sonos Arc, Beam, or Ray sound bar this feature lets you switch TV audio back and forth between the bar and headphones at the press of a button. That way you can watch shows, movies, and games without bothering others — and still get powerful, oversized sound.

Adaptable, real-time noise cancellation and quick awareness

The headphones pack neatly inside a form-fitting case.

These headphones use an array of multi-directional mics to capture external sounds, then adjust the level of noise cancellation accordingly. And if you need to hear your surroundings, simply press dedicated "Noise Control" button on the right earcup to switch to "Aware" mode. The built-in mics will pick up external sound, so you can instantly hear important ambient noise or voices.

Substantial build and straight-forward controls

Like most Sonos products, the Sonos Ace headphones sport a look that's at once on-trend and timeless. Despite their robust, heavy-duty construction, they're designed to feel light on the head. Sonos built in some flexibility for the sturdy metal yokes and generously cushioned the ear pads and headband.

Instead of touch controls, there are tactile buttons on each earcup for controlling music, calls, volume, and more. That's something I often prefer since there's less of a learning curve — and you can quickly feel the controls, since you can't see them. Take the slider on the right ear cup, for example. You move it up and down to control volume or press it in to quickly pause your music (or use the TV Audio Swap feature).
