One of the best things about wearing noise-canceling headphones is the great deal of comfort they bring when in loud, chaotic environments. However, they need to really fit around your head to get that seal, which can lead to some comfort issues. If you’re the type that wants to float away into your music or studies, then the Sonos Ace are your absolute best bet, and they are the headphones we consider to be the overall best noise-canceling headphones for comfort. Unfortunately, they’re usually $449, the same price as the brand new Sony WH-1000XM6. Now, however, in a deal you can find at any major retailer, they’re discounted by $120, making them just $329. Tap the appropriate button below to make your purchase or keep reading to see just how comfortable the Sonos Ace are, and learn about the special link they have with the best soundbar Sonos makes.

Why you should buy the Sonos Ace

Looking through our guide to the best headphones with noise-canceling you might expect the Sonos Ace to be the lightest of them all, considering they’re considered the most comfortable. At 11 ounces, however, they are not even close to the 8.8 ounces that multiple noise-cancellers are down to. It all comes down to excellent padding and what our Sonos Ace review will remind you is a delicate balance between clamping force and pressure. Your ears will stay cool, not stuffy, while wearing these headphones, too.

And while our review says that the area where the Sonos Ace “truly shine” is comfort and simplicity, it’s also worth pointing out their one true special feature. (That they have a good transparency mode, tactile controls, and a 30 hour battery life shouldn’t surprise you at this price.) They have a TV Audio Swap feature with select Sonos soundbars, such as the Sonos Arc or Sonos Arc Ultra. This feature takes the full-on Dolby Atmos surround sound and spatial audio of your soundbar and ports it to your headset — perfect for when you notice the spouse or little one nodding off on the couch.

We’re not sure how long the Sonos Ace are going to be $120 off, making them $329 instead of $449, but we’re happy to see the deal while it lasts. This is a deal that just about every retailer is taking advantage of, so you should be able to take your pick based on your memberships, gift cards, or other reasons — just tap the appropriate button below to shop.

No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
