Sonos Ace wireless headphones are steeply discounted

If you’re looking for a discount on a great pair of active noise-canceling headphones for your summer adventures (even if they’re indoors), you’re in luck. The Sonos Ace headphones in black are currently on sale for $279 (usually $399) at a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and directly from Sonos. Weirdly, the white version is discounted at all.

The Ace are as comfortable as they are attractive, with an expansive soundstage and balanced sound profile that’s less bass-forward than some competitors released around the same time like the Sony WH-1000XM5. Some people might like that. Their active noise cancellation effect is one of the best we’ve tested yet, with an impressive transparency mode to match, and they can run for up to 30 hours on a single charge.

Those who have a Sonos soundbar can switch the audio over to the Ace headphones with a single button press. You’ll then get spatial audio support with head tracking for watching your movies, TV shows, or playing games. They also support multipoint Bluetooth pairing, with aptX Lossless and AAC codec support, depending on the mobile device you connect it to. The Ace supports lossless audio when linked to devices via USB-C.
