The Sonos Ace Ultra headphones and Beam Ultra soundbar are smarter than I expected

Sonos unveiled the Ace Ultra headphones and Beam Ultra soundbar, demonstrating that the Beam Ultra delivers loud, clear, bass-rich audio with impressive Atmos separation even without a subwoofer, and that adding Play speakers as rear surrounds automatically enhances immersion via Sonos Fabric. The Ace Ultra can capture the soundbar’s output for headphone listening, while the new Sonos 27 OS introduces an updated natural-language voice assistant and AI-driven contextual features.
