The Sonos app now shows an option for Bluetooth headphones, but it's not for just any old Bluetooth headphones.
Prolific fans of Sonos — particularly those who are on the hunt for the latest app updates in hopes of vast improvements — may have noticed a new feature. And it’s one that’s definitely cause for excitement, though perhaps not quite in the way some have hoped.
A recent update has added the ability to add Bluetooth headphones to a Sonos setup. That’s exciting in its own right because you’ve never been able to use Bluetooth headphones with the Sonos app before. But it’s also an addition that’s directly tied to the announcement of the Sonos Ace headphones. Those, as you’ll recall from our first look at the Sonos Ace, are the first headphones from the company that to date has only made speakers that are not intended to live on the side of your head. And you’ll also recall that the Sonos Ace actually are more like traditional Bluetooth headphones in that you don’t actually have to use the Sonos app to use them. You’ll just pair them like any other Bluetooth headphones and get to listening via whatever app you like to use.

You’ll also be able to toggle the wear sensors , and you’ll be able to pair with a second device via Bluetooth Multipoint.
