内容总结：

据最新消息，Sonos旗下新款头戴式耳机Ace Ultra已现身美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）的备案文件，预示着这款产品距离正式发布已不远。文件显示，Ace Ultra延续了前代Sonos Ace的包耳式设计，但在配色上更为丰富，将提供浅灰、曜石黑、龙舌兰绿、腮红粉和沙色共五种选择，而前代仅有黑白两色。

更值得关注的是，备案文件暗示该耳机将支持Sonos自家语音助手功能。业内分析指出，对于缺乏屏幕的音频设备而言，语音交互是接入AI助手和聊天机器人的关键通道。在Sonos第三季度财报电话会议上，公司首席执行官托马斯·康拉德明确表示，将把人工智能作为核心业务战略方向，因此Ace Ultra有望集成Sonos现有及未来的AI功能。

回顾Sonos Ace的发布历程，其上市曾因2024年应用重大升级引发的故障而蒙上阴影。当时新版应用存在多项功能缺失，公司后来承认因需兼容Ace耳机而提前上线了尚未完善的重设计版本。此外，作为产品主要卖点的TrueCinema空间音频增强功能，也迟至发布一年后才正式推送。该功能可结合Sonos条形音箱对室内声学环境进行检测，从而为耳机生成更具沉浸感的空间音频效果。

可以预见，Ace Ultra只是Sonos未来众多AI赋能产品中的一环。康拉德认为，公司在家居AI领域具有显著优势，其覆盖全屋的音频设备能够互通互联、协同运作，形成完整智能生态体系。

Sonos Ace Ultra头戴式耳机现身FCC文件

这款耳机可能支持语音控制。

在Sonos第三季度财报电话会议上，公司表示计划于9月发布一款新产品。根据Lowpass发现的FCC最新文件，该公司在该活动中推出的产品之一可能是一款名为“Ace Ultra”的耳机。虽然文件中的大部分内容已被涂黑，但可以看出Ace Ultra采用头戴式设计，与2024年发布的初代Sonos Ace类似。不过它将推出五种配色，而非仅两种，分别是灰米色（或浅灰色）、暗影黑、龙舌兰绿、腮红粉和沙色。（上图中的耳机是Sonos Ace，而非即将推出的新款。）

FCC文件还暗示该设备将支持Sonos Voice Control，即该公司的语音助手。正如彭博社所指出的，对于没有屏幕的设备来说，语音支持是与AI助手和聊天机器人交互的关键。Sonos首席执行官托马斯·康拉德在财报电话会议上表示，公司正致力于将AI作为其业务战略的核心部分，因此Ace Ultra有可能接入Sonos当前及未来的部分AI功能。

Sonos Ace的发布曾因2024年公司应用因一次错误的升级而问题频出而蒙上阴影。该应用出现故障，并缺少关键功能。Sonos后来承认其重新设计发布得过早，因为Ace与旧版本不兼容。该公司甚至在发布一年后才推出耳机的TrueCinema空间音频增强功能，尽管该功能本应是产品的主要卖点之一。TrueCinema在室内有Sonos条形音箱时会将房间的声学特性纳入考虑，根据从条形音箱获取的信息为耳机生成空间音频。

Ace Ultra很可能只是Sonos未来推出的众多AI功能产品之一。康拉德认为，公司在家庭AI领域拥有巨大优势，因为它提供覆盖全屋的音频设备，这些设备可以相互通信并作为一个系统协同工作。

Sonos Ace Ultra over-ear headphones show up in FCC filing
They could come with voice control support.
During Sonos' third quarter financial call, the company said that it was planning a product launch in September. Based on a new FCC filing spotted by Lowpass, one of the products it's unveiling at the event could be a pair of headphones called the "Ace Ultra." While the filing is heavily redacted, the Ace Ultra seems to have an over-ear design, similar to the original Sonos Ace launched in 2024. But it will be available in five colors instead of just two, namely Greige (or light gray), Shadow Black, Agave, Blush and Sand. (The headphones in the image above are the Sonos Ace, and not the upcoming model.)
The FCC filing also hinted that the device will support Sonos Voice Control, the company's voice assistant. As Bloomberg notes, support for voice is critical for a device without a screen to be able to interact with AI assistants and chatbots. Sonos CEO Thomas Conrad said during the earnings call that the company was gearing up to make AI a core part of its business strategy, so it's possible that the Ace Ultra would be able to tap into some of Sonos' current (and future) AI features.
Sonos Ace's launch was marred by the issues that plagued the company's app in 2024 following a faulty upgrade. The app was broken and missing key functionality. Sonos later admitted that it released the redesign too soon, because Ace was incompatible with the older version. The company didn't even release the headphones' TrueCinema spatial audio enhancement feature until a year after launch, even though it was supposed to be one of the product's key features. TrueCinema takes a room's acoustics into account when one of Sonos' soundbars is inside. Based on the information it gets from the soundbar, it creates spatial audio for the headphones.
Ace Ultra will likely be just one of the many AI-enabled products Sonos will unveil in the future. Conrad believes his company has a big advantage when it comes to AI in the home, as it offers audio devices for the whole house that can communicate with each other and work together as a system.
