Sonos has released the Ace Ultra headphones at $449, replacing the original $349 Ace as its flagship model. The new headphones retain the Ace's comfortable build and tactile controls while adding the ability to send audio from a broader Sonos speaker system to the headphones and back, a feature currently offered in "early access." Both ear cups and the battery are user-replaceable via separate accessory kits.
In a Decoder interview, Sonos CEO Tom Conrad, who became interim chief after the botched 2024 app redesign and took the permanent job a year ago, said the company has moved past that turmoil. He outlined the launch of Sonos 27, a new software platform meant to unify the company's speakers into a smarter, more interconnected system.
Google's July redesign of the Photos app removed the visual separators that used to mark where one day's photos ended and the next began, replacing them with a floating date label that scrolls with the feed. The change came bundled with a broader visual overhaul, including a new floating navigation bar, that most users otherwise praised. A workaround exists to restore the old date-grouped view for people who rely on it to keep their photo library organized.
