Renowned speaker maker Sonos’ first pair of headphones, the Ace, feature plush vegan leather ear cushions, a sturdy stainless steel headband, and ear cups made partially from recycled plastic. Sonos vice president of product Chris Kallai says that over the course of 25 months, the company “rigorously tested multiple designs with a diverse set of people across age, sex, tech savviness, and personal style” to come up with the stylish and super-comfortable wireless design. Sound quality is top-notch, as is the active noise cancellation. But the Ace’s, well, ace in the hole, is its “TV Audio Swap” feature: A long press of a button instantly sends audio from a Sonos soundbar that’s connected to a TV to the headphones for private listening.
