Where it exceeds the competition is the inclusion of SonoS TrueCinema technology for more immersive spatial sound. It also has a seamless handover mode that enables users to swap over from a Sonos soundbar over to the Sonos Ace for private listening. 

The design of the Sonos Ace also prioritises tactility with a physical volume control slider and power button on the right can as well as a series of helpful design cues to indicate which earpiee is intended for the left ear and right ear via differently coloured meshes on the inner portion of the respective left and right earpieces.
