Sonos Ace Ultra Premium Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

Experience premium personal audio with the Sonos Ace Ultra wireless over-ear headphones, designed for detailed music reproduction, powerful noise cancellation, immersive spatial audio, and seamless integration with the Sonos ecosystem. Custom-designed 40 mm dynamic drivers deliver deep, controlled bass and clear detail, while Adaptive EQ continuously adjusts the sound based on the fit and acoustic seal around your ears.

For focused listening at home, at work, or while traveling, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation uses a ten-microphone array to monitor your surroundings and compensate for changes caused by head movement, glasses, hair, and other factors. Sonos Ace Ultra delivers up to 2x more Active Noise Cancellation than Sonos Ace at frequencies up to 65 Hz, while Aware mode lets surrounding sound back in when you need greater environmental awareness.

Sonos Ace Ultra also brings a unique advantage to existing Sonos systems. TV Audio Swap lets you transfer home theater audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar directly to the headphones, while TrueCinema and Dynamic Head Tracking create a more natural, room-like Dolby Atmos listening experience. Headphone Linking, available in Early Access, expands the experience by allowing audio to move between Ace Ultra and compatible Sonos products over WiFi.

With Bluetooth 6.0, aptX Adaptive Lossless, USB-C lossless audio, Dolby Atmos, spatial audio, rapid charging, and up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC or Aware mode enabled, Sonos Ace Ultra is built for extended listening without sacrificing performance. Plush replaceable ear cushions, independently rotating ear cups, intuitive physical controls, automatic wear detection, and a balanced over-ear design add comfort and convenience for long listening sessions.
