GoKawiilSonos launches Ace Ultra headphones with system-wide audio swapping
Sonos has released the Ace Ultra, a successor to its original Ace headphones, adding the ability to pull audio from any Sonos speaker or soundbar rather than just a limited set of compatible soundbars. The feature, powered by a new Headphone Engine 2 platform with redesigned Wi-Fi hardware, lets users move sound from TVs, turntables or streaming apps to the headphones with a single button press, though it remains an opt-in Early Access feature.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By extending audio-swapping to its entire speaker lineup instead of just a few soundbars, Sonos is pushing headphones further into the center of its whole-home audio ecosystem, not just as a TV accessory. The improved noise cancellation, battery life and EQ controls also show Sonos competing more directly on core headphone performance, not just software integration.
- Ace Ultra can swap audio with any Sonos speaker, not just select soundbars
- New Headphone Engine 2 platform enables the expanded wireless compatibility
- Upgrades include 2x better ANC, 8-band EQ and up to 35 hours of battery life
