Review on High-Quality Shure AONIC 5 Wired Sound Isolating Earbuds by Dinesh Anand ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre product, probably won't use.

At the beginning of 2022 - there are almost no reviews on this model, and those that are: 70% - about the configuration, 29% - about how they sit in the ears, and "as for the sound, it's cool, but it requires an appropriate source (but what is not said, probably iPhone))))))). So, my impressions: - they sound cleanly without extraneous overtones, sibilants and other overloads, very detailed, but the stage width is not quite. The main instrument or vocal is always in the foreground, everything else sounds behind it with some distortion, for example, an acoustic guitar will sound as if the y resonator is completely closed. The stereo panorama is also transmitted not in the best way, for example, the piano part of Tori Amos “Happy Phantom” sounds like it was recorded on one microphone (in fact, it was recorded on two, set between a small and a second octave - like the listener himself behind the instrument). All these features spoil the overall impression of the sound, as if in inexpensive headphones, which is very unfortunate, because. Objectively, the drivers are of high quality. 01/11/2022 (ate): Disappointing in this model I ordered a JVC FW01. So. by changing the Shure cable to the complete one from JVC, I got a stereo panorama and the "scene" got a width, the sound became two stars more pleasant. Thus, I can definitely recommend for purchase, with the condition of replacing the complete cable. No wonder he immediately wrote that the best thing about him is that he is removable. Crochet, this complete cable spoils everything - otherwise they sound rebar chic. Bought online for 17K. I would add + 3K to the copper cable from Shanling, I definitely would not buy JVC FW01. But who knew. ;) P/P/S. I forgot about the complete sound nozzles - 3 pieces: bright, dark, balanced. So tonal changes are made, but the quality of the sound is not changed.

Pros
  • The set is rich. The case included is convenient. Build quality. 01/11/2022 (ate): 5* potential, read full review.
Cons
  • Put in the ears - a whole story. The complete cable is the best thing about it, that it is removable. The imaginary scene is built in depth, there is no sound panorama (more details in the comment). The sound is specific (in the comments).
