This article goes over the location and functionality of Sonos Ace’s button controls.

Power / Bluetooth

This button is used to power your Sonos Ace on or off as well as put it into Bluetooth pairing mode.

  • Long press - Power Sonos Ace on or off. Release the button when the status light turns on or off, or when you hear the headphones play a power on / power off tone.
  • Press and continue holding - Put Sonos Ace into Bluetooth pairing mode. Release the button when the status light begins flashing blue. If already powered on, Sonos Ace will first power off and then power on again before entering pairing mode.
