After years of rumors of Sonos getting into headphones, the $449 Sonos Ace are here<\/a>. They\u2019re well-designed and have impressive audio quality. Integrating the headphones with its family of speakers isn\u2019t what many expected, but the feature works well, according to Engadget\u2019s Billy Steele. They\u2019re also comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n One thing that may mire an otherwise stellar debut is limited support \u2014 with its own speakers. Yes, the ability to transfer TV audio from Sonos speakers to the Ace only works with the Sonos Arc soundbar for now. Sonos says support for both generations of the Beam and the Ray is on the way, but there\u2019s no definitive timeline.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve used Sonos speakers or read any reviews of them, you\u2019re probably familiar with Trueplay, which maps the acoustics of a room with microphones to fine tune sound. There\u2019s a version for the Ace, called True Cinema, which virtualizes surround sound for the room you\u2019re in, to make it seem like you\u2019re not wearing the Ace at all. But\u2026 that wasn\u2019t ready either.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n Ubisoft Toronto is helping with the troubled Prince of Persia remake<\/a><\/p>\n Breville InFizz Fusion review: The bubble master<\/a><\/p>\n Intel officially unveils Lunar Lake, its Copilot+ AI PC chip<\/a><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April.
