Sonos Ace

The reviewer is thrilled with the comfort, sound and noise cancelling and recommends the headphones to anyone, not just Sonos owners.

Lives up to the hype with superb comfort, design, ANC and battery life, whether or not you use Sonos.

Excellent sound, noise cancelling and comfort make these a top headphone, especially for Sonos owners.

Engadget calls it an impressive but unfinished debut, with excellent sound and a handy soundbar audio swap.

Long-term use shows they have matured with updates and are great for Sonos soundbar owners wanting private TV listening.

A mostly successful first headphone with great comfort, but ANC and sound are bested by Bose and Sony.

Fantastic for Dolby Atmos movies but only good with music, and comfort suffers for glasses wearers.

Elegant, great-sounding headphones with effective noise cancelling, held back by pricing and limited Sonos compatibility.

Accomplished with great controls and Sonos integration, but too expensive for its good-not-great sound and fit-sensitive ANC.

Strong sound, superb ANC and comfortable fit, plus convenient TV audio with the Arc.

A brave first step with good ANC and Dolby Atmos support, but the retest rates them only middling for the price.

A disappointing outing for a brand the reviewer loves, with low TV volume, ringing and buggy swapping.

Stylish and easy to use, but sound is bland and outclassed by cheaper rivals.

After a year of use, the tester calls these his favourite home headphones for comfort, intuitive controls and balanced sound.

Gear Patrol calls the Ace superb, with top-tier comfort, sound and noise cancelling that compete with Apple and Sony.

Reviewed finds the headphones beautifully made, with good sound and strong noise cancelling that rival Sony and Bose.
