Sonos has a new flagship headphone. The Ace Ultra is the company's second over-ear release, building on the original Ace with upgraded drivers, improved active noise cancellation, and a design that keeps the same physical language but refines the internals.
The 9to5Mac hands-on is worth reading not just for the verdict but for the detail on how Sonos is positioning spatial audio and its TV audio swap feature against Sony and Bose at the same price tier. The friction points, fit, and real-world ANC performance in early testing tell you more than the spec sheet.
Sonos is betting that ecosystem integration and sound tuning will justify the premium. Whether the Ace Ultra closes the gap with the WH-1000XM6 and QuietComfort Ultra is the exact question this hands-on starts to answer, without fully settling it yet.
