bitegadgets Sonos Makes its Highly Anticipated Headphones Debut with Sonos Ace Images courtesy of Sonos A udio brand Sonos, renowned for their multi-room smart speakers, has launched their first-ever wireless headphones, Sonos Ace, marking their long-awaited entry into the per- sonal listening category. The premium over-the-ear Bluetooth® head- phones feature breathtaking lossless and spatial audio, world-class Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Aware Mode and the most precise and immersive home theatre experience possible using Sonos’ new TrueCinema technology. The artfully crafted and masterfully tuned Sonos Ace defies expec- tations with features that bring the best of Sonos to headphones. Indulge in high-fidelity sound and savour every second of your fa- vourite song, podcast, or friend’s phone call with Sonos Ace’s two cus- tom-designed drivers, which render each frequency with impeccable precision and clarity. Users can experience a private cinema through the headphones’ surround sound home theatre facility while having a quiet household. Instantly swap the TV audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar to Sonos Ace with the tap of a button. Spatial audio with Dolby Atmos envelops the user 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. Later this year, Sonos’ all-new TrueCinema technology will precisely map your space and render a complete surround sound system for a realistic listening experience. Sonos Ace’s distinctive, slim profile beautifully blends metal accents with a sleek matte finish. It uses lightweight, premium materials for an airy fit that gently hugs the user’s 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. The headphones feature replaceable ear cushions, circular materials that use 17% less virgin plastic, and a 75% recycled felt travel case made from plastic bottles. The extended, energy-efficient battery lets the user listen or talk for up to 30 hours. With ultra-fast charging, they can get three hours of battery with a quick three-minute charge using the USB-C cable. www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/sonos-ace
