Active Noise Cancellation and Aware Mode

Active Noise Cancellation adapts to fit and uses the headphone's microphone system to reduce external noise during travel, work, or focused listening.

Aware mode blends ambient sound with your audio when you need to hear your surroundings without removing the headphones.

40 mm Drivers and Eight Microphones

Each ear cup contains a custom 40 mm dynamic driver. Sonos also uses eight microphones for noise control and voice targeting during calls and voice communication.

Spatial Audio and Dynamic Head Tracking

Sonos Ace supports spatial audio from compatible content, services, and devices. Dynamic head tracking can adjust the spatial presentation as you move your head to help keep the virtual soundstage anchored.

Dolby Atmos support depends on the source and playback method. When using TV Audio Swap with a compatible Sonos soundbar, Dolby Atmos can be passed to Sonos Ace when the Sonos home theater system is receiving a supported Atmos signal.

Lossless Audio

Sonos Ace supports lossless audio over USB-C and over Bluetooth with supported Android devices that provide Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound with AptX Lossless.
