At long last, the eagerly anticipated Sonos Ace have arrived. Last week, the company announced that its first pair of wireless headphones will be available on June 5th. Even better, you can already preorder them from Sonos, Amazon, and other retailers ahead of launch.

We’re still testing the Sonos Ace, but in our limited time playing around with them during a recent demo session, we came away impressed. The plush noise-canceling headphones are exceptionally comfortable to wear, with magnetic ear pads made of vegan leather and a memory foam headband. Plus, if you own a Sonos soundbar, you can quickly transfer TV audio from the soundbar to the headphones with a push of a button, allowing for a more immersive audio experience nobody else can hear.
Of course, we have yet to see how their overall sound, ANC, and transparency modes stack up against rivaling headphones from Bose, Sony, and Apple over extended listening sessions. We’ll be publishing our full review in the coming days, but in the meantime, here’s how to ensure you’re one of the first to get your hands on Sonos’ forthcoming headphones.
Where to preorder the Sonos Ace
The Sonos Ace are up for preorder in black or white at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo, and Sonos for $449. As previously said, we need more time to form a solid opinion, but so far, we’re impressed by their capabilities and design. With just a click of a button, you can sync them with the Sonos Arc and — soon — Sonos’ other soundbars, including the Sonos Ray and the second-gen Sonos Beam. Combine that with their support for head-tracking spatial audio, and the headphones essentially let you create a private cinematic listening experience.

The Sonos Ace are the company’s first set of wireless headphones. They feature a premium, comfortable build and active noise cancellation, along with compatibility with Sonos Arc and other Sonos soundbars.
Granted, it’s a shame they can’t play music over Wi-Fi and you can’t group the Ace with Sonos speakers, but at least the headphones have other things going for them. They’re stylish and exceptionally comfortable to wear, for example, and we loved how much attention Sonos paid to detail. Sonos even includes a USB-C and headphone cable pouch inside the carrying case, which attaches magnetically. The company also added a fingerprint-resistant coating to reduce smudges, along with physical buttons for an intuitive experience, making for what seems so far like a well-rounded pair of headphones.
Update, May 28th: Updated article with new language to reflect the fact Amazon and B&H Photo have both opened up preorders for the Sonos Ace.
