Sonos Ace specs, features

Sonos Ace are equipped with two 40 mm dynamic drivers and eight microphones. They come with three different noise control modes – Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that blocks external noise from the environment, Aware mode that partially blocks disturbing environmental sounds and ‘off’ that disables both ANC and Aware Mode.

These headphones are compatible with the Sonos smartphone app, which allows users to adjust the bass, treble and sound volume. The app can also help users enable Dolby’s head-tracking feature that simulates a home theater-like audio experience.

Sonos’ new headphones support Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, but also come with a 3.5 mm jack. The lower part of the left cup has an LED light that shows the connection status of the headphones. They come with a power/Bluetooth button and a content button that can be moved up and down to help adjust the volume or press to control media playback and calls.

The Sonos Ace headphones have a 1060mAh battery that is claimed to offer up to 30 hours of music playback or 24 hours of talk time with ANC or Aware mode on. They’re said to take up to 3 hours to fully charge from zero to 100 percent via a USB Type-C port, while just three minutes of charging is claimed to offer up to three hours of listening time. The handset weighs 312 g and has dimensions of 191 x 160 x 85 mm.
