If your house is already lined with Sonos products, you may want a pair of over-ear headphones that know how to play nice with your other speakers. As it turns out, Sonos actually makes a pair of over-ear headphones, the Ace, and they’re currently just $299 on Amazon. That’s a great deal, and one that almost ties the all-time low price for these cans.
Not only do the Sonos Ace integrate with your existing Sonos setup via Bluetooth, they’re also great headphones in their own right. They have a crisp, flat audio profile, something Sonos is known for, and our reviewer Parker Hall specifically called out their ability to handle any song “with a good bass line.” They have great detail, with a dynamic sound that handles a variety of genres well.
They’re also one of the more comfortable headsets you can buy, largely thanks to their impressive lightness. At just 11 ounces, it’s easy to feel like you’re wearing nothing at all, and they have good clamping force on the side that helps take a lot of the pressure off the top of your head. If fit and finish are a top priority for your headset, the Sonos Ace have both by the truckload.
The ANC is right up there with the best headsets you can buy, and in particular handled low-frequency rumbles adeptly. Transparency mode is excellent too, with a clarity to conversations that doesn’t have you feeling like you’re talking to someone through a tin can. While they lack some of the convenience features found on other headsets, they make up for it with multipoint pairing, and you can adjust all the settings to your liking in the Sonos app.
While the Sonos Ace are available in multiple colors, I only spotted the black model marked down to the $300 sale price. As I write this, the white model is in stock at a slightly higher $365, which may or may not be worth it, depending on how much the aesthetics matter to you.
