Title: My Daily Driver
Review: I am so glad I purchased this. The quality is super, they feel heavier than most headphones I owned. But the sound, oh God what a beautiful sound stage they produced. They are super comfortable, I wear them all day. Battery last a long time, at least more than my 8 hours shifts. Connects super quick. The only suggestion will be on the buttons, they are not on the best location on the headset. Also the app while works amazing, the part to listen to your local files feels like an after thought. They are on the mid range territory. Not necessarily a high end, but it does deliver on sound. You won’t regret it

Title: Great
Review: nice set of wireless/wired headphones. Very musical and high fidelity sound. Has all the blue tooth codecs you could want. Noise cancellation is good but not as good as Sony or Bose. They are comfortable to wear for long periods and with glasses. They are large and don’t fold so the case is big as well. Used mainly at home and office. When I travel I use my foldable Bose NC headphones with outstanding noise cancelation. The aware function works extremely well.

Title: Well made, decent sound, great app for EQ etc, but the ear cups are small-fitting and hot
Review: I wanted to love these headphones. I have one other pair of BT headphones, the Austrian Audio Hi-x25BT headphones, which are priced much lower than these Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2 headphones.The Shures have more BT protocols (compared to most headphones), they have lots of modern features, they have noise canceling, and they feel tougher and sturdier than most headphones I’ve owned.SOUND. The Shure Aonic 50 sound signature is very scooped in the mids, the bass is pulled back compared to most, and there’s some odd brightness that sometimes is nice but often has been irritating or harsh depending on the album. And at first they sounded very muddy in the low end. It took me a while to get decent sound out of them.Here’s what I did to get decent sound out of them. First of all, I wasn’t able to EQ up the bass too much, it doesn’t stand up well to more than a few dB. In the Shure PLAY app, I EQed the bass shelf up at 50 Hz by just +3.0 dB with a gradual slope of 1.9 oct. That seems to be the best I can do for balancing the weak bass without making everything muddy. Most importantly, the bass sounded weak at first due to what I assume to be a bad fit. After a day of use, the pads adjusted and they did fit better and sound tighter in the low end. The other thing that needed fixing was the scooped mids. I added a wide parametric EQ boost of +3.5 dB at 460 Hz, with a width of 1.7 oct. They could use more in the mids, honestly, but I’m trying to not push my luck and risk going too far. Lastly, they have a boosted sharpness from 4000 to 5000 Hz, so I had EQ that down with a -1.5 dB dip at 4500 Hz with a narrow bandwidth of 1.5 oct. Those three EQ adjustments have made them really well rounded. There are a few strange resonance issues in the highs (e.g. a track I heard with whistling suddenly got really sharp and irritating) but overall pretty good.Surprisingly, turning the ANC on and off doesn’t change the sound much at all, if you’re in a quiet room. So, that’s really niceCOMFORT. These headphones are small, hot, tight, and ill-fitting on my XL head. My old cheaper Austrian Audio Hi-X25bt headphones are FAR more comfortable than the Shures. The Shures don’t extend far enough; they barely fit over my head when extended all the way. The cups are small; my ears don’t fit inside the cups. My ears are touching the ear pads all around top bottom and back. Seriously, I feel like these headphones are crumpling my ears up in to little balls. And they’re hot and sweaty feeling, too. I’ve worn them for 30 minutes just now, and my ears already feel hot. The Austrian Audio Hi-X25bt, by comparison, are light and cool and have lots of room inside. My wife has the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones, which in comparison have similarly small ear cups etc, similar to the Shures, though the Shures are heavier feeling and have a much stronger clamp force. When I try the Sennheisers, they also don’t fit around my ears, but it doesn’t seem as uncomfortable because they are light and sit happily on top of my ears. I can’t stress enough how horrible the Shure Aonic 50 gen 2 fit is for folks with big ears. It’s badThe Shures look and feel more modern and fashionable etc, compared to the Austrian Audio. I think they feel sturdier than the Sennheiser Momentum 4s as well, but then Sennheiser has a reputation for making lightweight headphones that last forever despite feeling “plasticky.” These Shures are not plasticky, they are really sturdy. The cups are plastic but that’s probably useful for acoustics and keeping the weight down.If you have small ears, strong air conditioning, and you like a bright scooped sound, these headphones are for you. And their features and the app etc are really well implemented. They just don’t compare well to my older much cheaper bt headphones from Austrian Audio, and that means I regret purchasing them.

Title: Very nice looking, great sounding ANC headphones
Review: These headphones are nice. I’d been admiring them while traveling and seeing them in shops and decided to give them a try. I’m happy with the purchase. Sound is good as expected and they feel and look like quality headphones. As with most over ear headphones, my ears get hot so they aren’t a pair that I’d wear for hours unless the AC is working really well. On the noise canceling aspect, there is some noise leak through, but you can tell the difference on a plane.

Title: The cushions was fixed with glue
Review: All everyone could expect from this product, EQ saved in the device, decent noise canceling that cannot work closer an air fan, but, the cushions were fixed using glue, WTF? I wasted 350 USD and they fixed my product using glue, which is unacceptable, and then they sold you a new pair of cushions for 50 USD, I expect to prevent new victim bought this product, and they must repair their error free to all their customer, because it’s their blame

Title: High Quality and teams integration works flawlessly
Review: Love these! The other high-end brand did not integrate well with Teams which I had to have. Good battery life and will charge while in use.

Title: Good but can’t compee with the others in noise cancelling.
Review: One of the best sounding headphones but the comfort isn’t great. It’s very bulky and I feel the money is better spent on some Sony or other headphones. I say this especially because of the noise canceling features.

Title: Rich Vibrant Sound
Review: I’ve purchased the Sure Aonic 50 Gen 2 model from Amazon 3 days ago. I also have the 1st generation which I’ve used the past couple years. The Aonic 2nd generation has rich, deep, and realistic sound. The Shure play app has a great equalizer. A person can make these headphones sound any way they want. I’ve had many headphones and I personally like the sound of the Shure Aonic 50 gen 2 the best. The noise canceling is excellent and doesn’t change the original sound. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend these headphones to anybody who wants wonderful sound.

Review: Finally decided on the Aonic 50 gen2 after weeks of agonizing amongst the myriad of ldac anc headphones out there. Decided on them after reading/watching various reviews and remembering an old Shure headphone I had many years ago.Very glad I did, the out of the box sound was fine, but after tweaking the excellent eq in the Shureplus app and adding the music spacializer I’m delighted with the audio. Basically added a slight bass boost and left everything else flat after fiddling.The treble is excellent with no sibilance and great extension to the highest pitches. Mids are excellent, vocals sound superb for male/female artists, guitars sound lovely in acoustic or electric. As for the bass with a 4db boost they’re grin inducing, sub bass is excellent, as is mid bass. Tightly controlled and very engaging.The app takes moments to figure out, everything is very well done and the parametric eq is a delight. The spacializer has particularly surprised me as I really didn’t think I’d care, but what a difference it makes to the sense of soundstage width and depth, a very pleasant surprise.Basically I adore the sound and to my ear the ANC is excellent and has little to no effect on sound quality. For my intended at home use they are perfect.As for the headphones – build quality is superb, metal hinges, very positive ratchet to the headband extenders which stay put when adjusted. Very comfortable earcups, nice headband design and padding. Very impressed!Love them, thank you Shure, so glad you made them.

Review: The Aonic50 is a great product for Hi-res audio. Its ANC feature is quite poor compared to other competitors. For example, when the train enters in the tunnel you can hear some bumps and hizz. The two anc modes have no difference at all (to my ears).Special remark to Amazon retour deals: I bought it expecting “like new” product (as described). However I got a product in which its ear pads were with clear wear and dirt. See pictures for more info. To avoid all hazzle I did not return. But it deserves more than 25 euros discount comparing to the new price.I would try before buying.
