Unveiled back in May as the highly anticipated rookie headphones effort from audio industry veteran Sonos, the aptly named Ace are discounted for the very first time from their admittedly (but unsurprisingly) high $449 list price.
If you’re the least bit familiar with this company’s products, it should also come as no big surprise that you’re looking at a relatively small markdown here. Specifically, Amazon is selling the over-ear Sonos Ace in both black and white colors for 50 bucks less than usual at the time of this writing, which is… clearly better than no discount.
That’s obviously a pretty big problem for a new entrant in the super-crowded and incredibly competitive high-end Bluetooth wireless headphones category, and it doesn’t really help that the first few hundred Amazon customer ratings for the Sonos Ace are only… okay.
While we haven’t reviewed these bad boys ourselves, the “breathtaking lossless and spatial audio, world-class active noise cancellation and Aware Mode, as well as the most precise and immersive home theater experience possible” that Sonos advertised at launch a few months ago sure sounded mighty encouraging to our ears.
Something tells us that continues to be the case for plenty of devoted users of uber-popular Sonos products like the Roam and Move speakers or the Arc soundbar. If you’re in that camp but didn’t want to spend as much as 450 bucks on a new pair of headphones, perhaps this $50 discount will help seal the deal.
Don’t forget that the Sonos Ace claim to offer up to 30 hours of battery life, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at, while also promising to “cradle you in comfort” during your lengthiest music listening sessions on the move or in the comfort of your living room.
