Leading Audio specialist Sonos are known for amazing sounding speakers but up until now they haven’t ventured into the “headphone” space. To be fair, it’s a pretty crowded space so if you are going to jump in, you’d want your product to be really good.
Today they announced that Sonos Ace will mark the brand’s long-awaited entry into the personal listening category, and you’ll be able to get your hands on them and your ears in them sooner than you think.
These premium over-the-ear Bluetooth® headphones feature breathtaking lossless and spatial audio, world-class Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Aware Mode, as well as the most precise and immersive home theatre experience possible using Sonos’ new TrueCinema technology are coming on the 5th of June for an RRP in Aus of $699.
Sonos Ace seamlessly integrates with the iHeart Radio App so you’ll be able to listen to your favourite local radio station, music or podcasts in sound like you’ve never experienced before in a headset.
Some of the amazing features we’ve been told about the new Sonos Ace include:
Indulge in high-fidelity sound: Savour every second of your favourite song, podcast or friend’s phone call thanks to Sonos Ace’s two custom-designed drivers that render each frequency with impeccable precision and clarity.
Your own private cinema: Sonos Ace lets you enjoy a surround sound home theatre experience while giving your household the gift of quiet. Instantly swap the TV audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar to Sonos Ace with just the tap of a button. Spatial audio with Dolby Atmos envelops you in dramatically detailed sound from all directions and dynamic head tracking keeps you centred in the action even if you need to grab a blanket or reach for the snack bowl. Coming later this year, Sonos’ all-new TrueCinema technology precisely maps your space then renders a complete surround sound system for a listening experience so realistic you’ll forget you’re wearing headphones.
Sonos has joined forces with Pip Edwards, renowned fashion icon, creative director and co-founder of one of Australia’s most successful fashion brands: P.E Nation to launch Sonos Ace in Australia
Turn the world on or off: Make personal listening even more personal with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), or activate Aware mode when you want more awareness of your surroundings.
Day-long battery life and ultra-fast charge: Listen or talk for up to 30 hours with an extended, energy-efficient battery life. Ultra-fast charging ensures you’ll never miss a beat – get 3 hours of battery life with a quick 3-minute charge using the included USB-C cable.
Endless Comfort: Sonos Ace uses lightweight, premium materials for an airy fit that gently hugs your head. Its pillowy soft memory foam interior is wrapped in vegan leather, while a custom headband and ear cups that hide the hinge create the perfect acoustic seal without catching on hair.
The Sonos Ace Headphones are available for pre-order in either a Black or Soft-White design and we are excited to see how they compare to other headphones on the market. We’ll find out when they launch in June.
