[The Morning After]( It's Tuesday, June 04, 2024. After years of rumors of Sonos getting into headphones, the $449 [Sonos Ace are here](. They’re well-designed and have impressive audio quality. Integrating the headphones with its family of speakers isn’t what many expected, but the feature works well, according to Engadget’s Billy Steele. They’re also comfortable to wear.
