After months of rumors and leaks, audio brand Sonos has announced and revealed its first foray into personal audio with the Sonos Ace, pricey wireless over-ear headphones that compete with the likes of Apple’s AirPods Max and Sony’s popular WH-1000XM5.
The Bluetooth 5.4 headphones were shown to select press outlets in New York this week. It’s too early to judge their sound quality, but they’re priced at the high end, and Sonos has a good reputation on that front.
Each cup has a 40 mm driver, and there are a total of eight microphones for noise control. Notably, the headphones weigh less than Apple’s AirPods Max.
