Summary

Sonos Launches Ace Ultra

Sonos launched the Ace Ultra headphones at $449, with pre-orders starting September 1 2026.
The Ace Ultra uses Sonos Headphone Engine 2 to link audio from Sonos speakers via a long-press of the Content Key.
It offers adaptive ANC with ten microphones, claiming twice the noise-cancelling performance of the original Ace.
Battery lasts 35 hours, five hours longer than the first model, and is replaceable for $25.

Summary

Beam Ultra Adds Mount

Beam Ultra adds a floating wall-mount that does not fit older Beam brackets.
The soundbar is about 10 cm wider than the Beam (Gen 2); users must check fit.
Users can pair Beam Ultra with Era 100, Sub Mini, or portable Play speakers for a full home-theater setup.
Beam Ultra upgrades to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, which reduces network congestion.
Nine Class-D amplifiers drive five tweeters and four woofers, replacing the prior mid-woofer.
