After a few months with just partial compatibility, the Sonos Ace headphones now work with all of the company’s soundbars and can take advantage of the TV audio swap feature.
That’s the feature by which audio will be routed to the Sonos headphones instead of the soundbar itself, which is great for some private listening when you don’t want to disturb someone else.
It’s the sort of feature that Google has had with its earbuds and Google TV devices, and that Apple TV has enjoyed with the various AirPods models. The main difference here is that Sonos isn’t an operating system in the same regard, so it has to handle the audio handoff a little further downstream. And so now the Ace and intercept audio via the Sonos Ray and Sonos Beam, in addition to the Sonos Arc, which worked at launch.
