Why I still recommend these Sonos headphones over competing models - including AirPods

zdnet.com Jada Jones 2025-09-26 05:00:23

Jada Jones/ZDNET Editor's note: This article was first published on June 6, 2025, and updated on June 10, 2025, when Sonos announced the Ace's latest software updates. It's been one year since Sonos released its first pair of consumer headphones, and although they made waves when they first dropped, how have they fared after the hype has died down? You can often find the Ace discounted for up to $120 off their original price, and if you're interested in them, that's the best time to buy them.
