Amazon’s Sonos Ace headphones deal has knocked the black over-ear headphones down to $279 as of July 27, according to deal reporting from Mashable. That is $120 off the $399 list price, a 30% discount on Sonos’ flagship-style cans.
The offer applies to the black colorway, Mashable reported. The publication noted that this is not the rarest price drop for the Sonos Ace, but called the current price a strong value for headphones with sharp looks and performance to match.
For shoppers trying to dodge the $400-plus zone, the timing is the whole play. The discount puts the Sonos Ace below the price of many top-tier headphone rivals while keeping the features Mashable highlighted in testing.
Is the Sonos Ace headphones deal worth it?
Mashable’s testing gives the deal its pull. The outlet said the Sonos Ace are among the most comfortable headphones its team has tested, placing them in the same conversation as the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones.
In Mashable’s Sonos Ace review, Miller Kern wrote that the headphones compared with Sony on sound quality. She also pointed to Sonos soundbar compatibility as a standout feature, giving the Ace an extra hook for people already using Sonos gear at home.
Battery life is another major selling point in the review. Mashable reported that the Sonos Ace run for 30 hours per charge, putting them on par with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Sony XM6 headphones mentioned in the outlet’s comparison.
What features come with the Sonos Ace?
Mashable’s deal coverage lists several features beyond comfort and sound. The Sonos Ace include on-ear tactile controls, replaceable ear cups and solid active noise cancellation, often shortened to ANC.
- Price: $279 at Amazon as of July 27, according to Mashable
- List price: $399
- Discount: $120 off, or 30%
- Colorway in the deal: black
- Battery life cited by Mashable: 30 hours per charge
The replaceable ear cups are framed by Mashable as a way to keep the headphones useful longer, since ear pads can wear down before the electronics do. The tactile controls mean users can adjust playback or settings with physical controls on the headphones rather than relying only on a phone screen.
At the time Mashable reported the deal, the discount was available only on the black version. Shoppers looking for another color may not see the same $279 price.
