The epic Sonos Ace headphones are $100 off right now — and they're my favorite travel accessory

I have the pick of the crop when it comes to headphones for longer journeys — but it's the Sonos Ace and their excellent spatial audio that always end up in my bag. Because it's all about the movie performance when I'm on the go and watching Pacific Rim for the seventieth time because I can.
Now you can join me in my mobile movie madness without spending as much money. The Sonos Ace are down to $298 at Amazon after a hefty $100 discount, bringing them down to their lowest price ever.
The Sonos Ace and their impressive Dolby Atmos performance make them my favorite headphones for watching movies on longer trips, but they've got plenty of other tricks up their sleeves. They're comfortable, block out plenty of noise, and offer excellent sound quality. 30 hours of battery certainly helps as well.
Sonos cut its teeth making home audio gear and soundbars that have Dolby Atmos and spatial audio at their core, so it's no wonder the spatial audio performance of the Sonos Ace is as impressive as it is. It places the surround elements of your movies better than just about any other pair of headphones, even the far more expensive Apple AirPods Max.
So you can imagine how much I love them when I watch a movie on the go. See, that's how I get my kicks when a journey gets really long. I like to change things up — from music one minute to my book the next, interspersed with various long-form visual content. When it's movie time, I want the best surround mix, so that it feels like I'm in front of my home cinema without having to be in the living room.
Thankfully, they're excellent at everything beyond the home cinema sound as well. Their musical sound quality is good, coming close to that of their class competition. They're comfortable, so I can wear them for every hour of a long trip without taking them off. 30 hours of battery life is more than sufficient for any trip I might take.
They're the best headphones for spatial audio, that much is certain, but they're also good at everything else. They're well worth a look if, like me, you watch movies on the go, but also if you're just after your next pair of ANC cans. And at this deal price, which makes them as much as $150 cheaper than their closest competition, they're kind of unmissable.
