The Verge has flagged a substantial discount on the Sonos Ace wireless headphones, which have dropped to $279 from their usual $399 — a 30% saving — across several major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Sonos directly. The deal applies to the black version only (the article notes the white model is not discounted), and matters as a notable price cut on the company's first-ever set of wireless over-ear headphones.

The Ace are praised for their comfort, expansive soundstage and a balanced, less bass-heavy profile than rivals such as the Sony WH-1000XM5, alongside class-leading active noise cancellation, a strong transparency mode and up to 30 hours of battery life. They also offer one-button audio switching from Sonos soundbars with spatial audio and head tracking, multipoint Bluetooth, aptX Lossless and AAC support, and lossless audio over USB-C. The piece rounds up other deals too: a $30 Best Buy saving on $100+ orders for DoorDash DashPass members (until 15 July), a seven-game Lego bundle from Green Man Gaming for $9, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 reduced to $699.99 from $799.99 at Amazon.
