Meet the Sonos Ace—named one of TIME’s Best Inventions, and for good reason. These mind-blowing spatial audio headphones deliver breathtaking, cinema-level sound while wrapping you in all-day comfort that feels as good as they sound. Whether you're sinking into a film, diving into your playlist, or taking on the day, the Ace transforms every moment into an immersive experience.
Well, it just got smarter. As of June 2025, it brings four big features: Adaptive Noise Control, SideTone, True Cinema and TV Audio Swap for Two. This update levels up your listening.

Adaptive Noise Control
Noise cancellation that adapts to you. Adaptive Noise Control detects sound leaks caused by things like head shape, glasses, long hair, or earrings—and automatically compensates to give you even better noise cancellation.
SideTone
Clearer calls, more natural conversations. With ANC on, most headphones block out even your own voice—making calls feel weird. SideTone lets a bit of your voice feed back through during phone calls, so things feel more natural and less isolating.
True Cinema
Feel like you're inside the movie. True Cinema uses spatial mapping to recreate surround sound right in your headphones. It scans your room and adjusts audio to match, giving you a personal home theater experience—without needing a full speaker setup.
From whispered dialogue to full-on action scenes, the sound feels real.
TV Audio Swap for Two
Share your sound, not your headphones. You can now connect two Sonos Ace headphones to the same Sonos soundbar. Perfect for late-night movie marathons, co-op gaming, or catching up on shows without disturbing anyone.
No cables. No lag. Just crisp, in-sync audio for two.
This new Sonos Ace feature is ideal for shared spaces and shared screens.
Other Improvements
This update isn’t just about features—it also includes Sonos Ace bug fixes and sound quality improvements. Your headphones now perform better, feel more responsive, and sound even more detailed. Like all wireless software patches from Sonos, it’s completely free and installs with a tap on the app.
How to Update Sonos Ace
Updating is easy:
- Open your Sonos app
