Sonos has launched its first headphones, the $449 Sonos Ace, which feature impressive audio quality and comfort. However, their integration with Sonos speakers is currently limited to the Sonos Arc soundbar, with future support for other models promised but not yet available. The headphones also include a new True Cinema feature for virtual surround sound, which is not yet ready.
Sonos has launched its first pair of wireless headphones, the Sonos Ace, featuring advanced noise cancellation and home theater-friendly tweaks like TrueCinema for better virtual surround sound. The headphones can seamlessly integrate with Sonos soundbars and upscale audio to enhance sound quality. Audio expert Billy Steele was impressed with their performance, and pre-order details are available.
Sonos has released its first music speaker designed for spatial audio, the Era 300, which has an unusual shape to accommodate all the drivers needed for achieving room-filling effects. The speaker supports Dolby Atmos for movies and is designed to envelop the user from all directions without needing a room full of speakers to achieve the effect. The Era 300 is well-built, exceedingly sturdy, and generally feels like a product that justifies its high price tag. The speaker is easy to set up, and the Trueplay feature tunes the speaker's output based on where it's placed in the room. However, the spatial audio experience can be hit or miss, and the speaker looks a little weird.
