At the time of writing, Amazon US has all three listed for pre-order, and the listings state the item will be released on September 29, 2026. Sonos opened pre-orders on September 1, 2026 at sonos.com and select retail partners, with general availability on the same September 29 date.
Let’s check out the specs and features of the Sonos Ace Ultra.
Specs and Features
The Ace Ultra is built around a Sonos-designed 40mm driver. Sonos states it delivers high-resolution wireless audio with ultra-low latency, and that Adaptive EQ tunes the sound based on your fit and movement.
Noise cancellation is handled by Adaptive ANC powered by ten microphones. According to Sonos, this is up to 2x more Active Noise Cancellation than the original Sonos Ace, which is the model this one sits above rather than replaces.
Battery life is rated at up to 35 hours with ANC on ( this is Sonos’ claims under ideal testing conditions, the real world usage can vary vastly ).
For calls, it uses beamforming microphones to isolate your voice. The earcups use plush foam with an adjustable design.
This is the first headphone built on Headphone Engine 2, the hardware that connects it directly into the Sonos system. Sonos Link moves sound between the headphones and your Sonos system: one press pushes whatever is playing on the system to the headphones, another press pulls it back, without needing a phone in range. Read that feature with its caveat attached, because Sonos states headphone linking is available in Early Access, not as a finished feature.
TV Audio Swap hands the audio from a compatible Sonos soundbar to the headphones for personal listening, and TrueCinema tunes the Ace Ultra when it is pulling sound from a compatible soundbar.
When it comes to connectivity, the Ace Ultra adds USB-C and 3.5mm wired inputs on top of its wireless connection.
The three SKUs are identical apart from the finish. White (ACEULUS1), Black (ACEULUS1BLK) and Agave (ACEULUS1AGAV) all carry the same $449.99 price and the same September 29 release date.
Sonos announced the Beam Ultra soundbar at the same time, a nine-driver mid-size model with two up-firing drivers for 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos, priced at $699 and on the same pre-order and availability schedule.
