When I know I'm in for a longer journey, be that on a train, in a car, or packed inside an airliner, there's only one pair of headphones that I turn to — the Sonos Ace. Not only do they sound great for music, they're my preferred way of watching movies on the go.

They're now back down to their lowest price, so you can get a pair for your lengthier traveling. The Sonos Ace are now just $279 at Amazon, $170 off their full price. The perfect last minute Holiday gift for a loved one (or yourself).

The Sonos Ace are one of the best pairs of wireless headphones if you're looking for a great spatial audio experience. Sonos, known more for surround sound soundbars and smart speakers, put every ounce of Dolby Atmos experience into the Sonos Ace, and we've ended up with the best pair of headphones for spatial listening.

They're a more convincingly natural-sounding spatial listen than the likes of even the AirPods Max, and they work way better for movies than just about anything else. That makes them great for travel.

After all, what better way to wear away the hours of a long-haul flight than to watch your favorite movies? The Sonos Ace are the final piece of the puzzle, bringing the surround sound and impactful bass for a cinema experience on the go. I love it — Transformers (don't judge me) never sounded better in the back of a car than with the Sonos Ace.

They're great at everything else, of course. The ANC makes blocks out for your fellow passengers, so you can enjoy your movies, and their comfortable fit ensures you can wear them for the whole trip.

30 hours of battery life is more than enough for even the longest flight, and it will also get you to your hotel when you arrive. Looking for a lovely Holiday gift for your movie buff family member? Forget that new 4K Blu-ray player — this is what they want.
