Review on Shure AONIC 50 Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones (White) by Ar Bl Srivastava ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A bad product, not worth the money.

This is the SECOND PAIR of these headphones and the pros and cons described apply to both. After I passed the first pair of these ears, I listened to almost all the headphones with APTX-LL available today, and as a result, I returned to the Shurams again, because. the rest of the ears sound pale in comparison. Beyerdynamic lagoon anc seemed the closest in sound, but they literally crumble after a couple of months (the Chinese poured the wrong additive into the plastic), Momentum 3 wireless, having a much more pleasant bass, again sound "crumpled" and faded compared to Aonic 50, FiiO EH3 It was not possible to listen to NC due to the lack of supplies to stores, Pioneer HDJ-X5BT and Sinha 350/450 sound much worse. In fact, these headphones can be assessed by their very appearance - classic puritanical Americans, farmed out to China. After all, this is not a noble business, a respected company from the USA to deal with all these hipster blues. Therefore, having made the headphones themselves, the venerable Shure gave their true brothers to the Chinese to turn them into a bluetooth device. But the inhabitants of China are cunning guys and, due to the lack of supervision from the American partners, they fulfilled the contract to the minimum, so much so that any whistle (bluetooth receiver) for $10 works better than these headphones for $300! And it would be okay after the release of Shure, they came to their senses and gave these Chinese hands a hand, but no, headphone software ates every HALF YEAR and version 0.7 2 years after the release, the Americans consider it the norm. In short TLDR: If used with only 1 device (no mic) or wired, these ears are a good 4-5/5 stars. If with more than 1 device - 2/5.

Pros
  • Excellent headphones with good sound; bright sound, excellent attacks; good design; the transparency mode works well; relatively fast charging ~1 hour; Bluetooth is; there is an application with a multi-band equalizer; upgradable headphone firmware; sound reproduction by TYPE-C; support for all possible ATPX/APTX-LL/APTX-HD/SBC/AAC/LDAC codecs; The microphone is OK, but crackles.
Cons
  • Terrible bluetooth headphones with good sound; flat bass - raised highs that whistle (sibilants), EQ saves with the setting ¯ ¯-_ , but the flatness does not go away at all; mediocre control ergonomics, poor headband adjustment (fixation of divisions is very sluggish), the design rattles; ANC working?; does not charge with a complete cable from a PC + no standby mode + holds only 16 hours; bluetooth works disgustingly constantly falling off, losing either the sound, or the connection, then it starts to stutter, using it with 2 devices at the same time (multipoint) is almost impossible; the application with a multi-band equalizer works the devil knows how, the equalizer works only for AAC / SBC / APTX, it does not work for LDAC, its settings constantly fly off the headphones, when you turn on the application, the sound of the headphones may disappear for good, the sound is noticeably better by LDAC, but the sound can be trite work in 1 application, and in another abyss + it works normally (in the "quality" mode) only from a distance of a couple of meters; 2 years after the release of firmware version 0.7!; "unknown device" plays sound when connected via TYPE-C; on all codecs, except for LDAC, crunches are heard in silence; when switching to a microphone (by an application or device), the sound may then disappear!
