Sonos Ace Ultra review: A sensational second round

The Sonos Ace Ultra ($449) represents a sensational second-generation over-ear offering that integrates seamlessly into the Sonos home ecosystem. These headphones feature a significant 10-microphone Adaptive ANC upgrade and provide 35-hour battery life alongside subtle design refinements. While they present strong noise-canceling competition for Bose, their premium pricing makes them more difficult to justify as standalone Bluetooth cans compared to their utility for existing users of the brand's broader ecosystem of audio products.
