GoKawiilSonos Ace Ultra headphones add stronger ANC, longer battery, swappable batteries
Sonos has launched the Ace Ultra, an updated version of its over-ear headphones, keeping a similar design to the original Ace but with redesigned 40mm drivers, a 10-microphone array, and adaptive noise cancellation said to be up to twice as effective. The new model also offers up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, Bluetooth 6.0, user-replaceable batteries, expanded EQ options, and two new colors.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The upgrades target specific complaints from the original Ace, such as weak bass, limited ANC, and app shortcomings, which suggests Sonos is trying to retain early adopters who found the first model lacking. User-replaceable batteries could also address long-term durability concerns that are common criticisms of premium wireless headphones.
- Ace Ultra keeps the Ace's design but overhauls internals, including drivers and mic array.
- ANC is claimed to be twice as effective, with better adaptability to glasses and hair.
