The Sonos Ace are a pair of premium headphones that Sonos claims will provide a "rich" listening experience and create an immersion so good, it'll make you feel like you're in a room with your favorite musicians. In other words, Sonos says they're really good. 

But these headphones aren't cheap. A pair will generally run you $450. However, Amazon has slashed $150 off the Sonos Ace headphones, dropping the price to $299 during Prime Day.

These headphones have key features that let them stand above other high-end rivals like the Apple AirPods Max. In addition to top-tier audio performance, the Sonos Ace provide a stylish yet functional design. The outside of each cup is enveloped with a fingerprint-resistant finish, allowing them to look clean no matter how often you handle them. 

Inside the cups are memory foam earpads covered with polyurethane leather, ensuring a comfortable fit. This pair is also sleek and modern in design, perfect for those who like a luxury look and feel. And to make things even better, the foam is repairable (though replacement cushions will run you $50).

Plus, if you own a Sonos Arc soundbar, you can connect these headphones to the speaker seamlessly, hopping between different audio sources. Nina Raemont, one of ZDNET's audio experts, experienced the audio-swapping feature firsthand at a live demo and noted that being able to enjoy movies in Dolby Atmos spatial audio was more than impressive.

Don't wait too long to snag this great deal on the Sonos Ace headphones-- Prime Day sales end after Friday, July 11.
