Sonos has revealed its long-awaited headset called Sonos Ace, and it packs a bunch of high-end features and some that will be exclusive to the Ace as well.
SONOS ACE AUSTRALIAN PRICE AND RELEASE DATE
The Sonos Ace will release in Australia on June 5th for $699 AUD. It will release in Black and Soft White. You can pre-order Sonos Ace HERE.
SONOS ACE FEATURES
The Ace headset will have active noise cancellation with an aware mode that you can quickly turn on with the touch of a button. It will also have a 30 hour battery life when using Bluetooth with ANC turned on with 3 hours of listening time with 3 minutes of charge.
Unlike other Sonos products on the market, the Ace headset will connect over Bluetooth but will be able to paired with the app to control EQ settings as well as pair it with your Sonos soundbar. This will allow you to quick swap to the audio that is on your TV and send it straight to your headset.
This will work with the Arc at launch and the Beam/Beam Gen 2 and Ray in the near future. I’m keen to see how this works for gaming in particular in terms of being one headset that can work with all consoles.
As far as spatial audio goes, it will also have Dolby Head Tracking that can follow your head to keep the audio experience coming around you and Sonos will introduce a TrueCinema technology later this year that will map the space around you to deliver a surround sound experience.
In the box, you also get a USB-C to 3.5mm cord which allows for lossless audio, and you can also get lossless audio with compatible Snapdragon chips on Android as well.
