Superb sound (while music is playing) ; Comprehensive wireless codec support (including high-res) ; Excellent build quality, materials, and design

Mediocre active noise cancellation performance ; Annoying buzz when connected wirelessly with no source playing ; Tend to get hot during long listening sessions

Shure’s Aonic 50 headphones are built for high-resolution sonic bliss, whether you’re listening with a cable (analog or digital, via a USB-C cable) or wirelessly (via Bluetooth, with support for every Bluetooth codec that matters).

The design and look of these is stunning ; High quality materials used in construction ; Easy to use and operate ; Great battery life ; Priced competitively and have great value ; These sound great and the ANC works well

The Shure AONIC 50 has the following features and specifications: If you’re looking for an excellent pair of premium entry-level headphones, Shure has your back with the AONIC 50.

Comfortable;Sound great;Sound even better when wired;ANC works well without negatively affecting the music

The sound quality is superb, with a neutral sound balance and a lot of details. Fit is excellent, with good passive noise reduction. You never go wrong with physical buttons.

Active noise cancellation could have been better. No voice control (but who cares). Not foldable.

The Aonic 50 is Shure’s first headphone with active noise reduction. Let’s hope they are not the last. Here you get excellent comfort with soft, thick pillows and effective passive noise reduction. Activate the noise cancellation, and the cabin noise...
