Pros
- Excellent sound quality was achieved with each of the three different connecting methods. I compared it to a variety of headphones, beginning with the M50xBT and going all the way up to the B&W PX7 and Sennheiser M3. I am unable to choose a sound that I enjoyed more than the others because I believe the differences to be rather subtle (or nuances) - a slightly different handwriting in tonal balance, in various musical genres, and the conditional leader was different. Honestly, the headphones that sounded the worst to my ears were the The smooth monitor sound with a very high level of detail was appealing to Shure. It may at first appear to be a little less spectacular when compared to its rivals; however, after some consideration, you may come to the conclusion that the absence of a prominent bass is, in fact, an advantage; lengthy listening is noticeably less taxing; and the emphasis on the midrange helps to make vocals more interesting. Yet, in terms of design, build quality, and materials, the Shure product was the one that I loved the most. The design appears to be quite dependable and devoid of any faults. They provide the impression of being neat and unobtrusive when worn, and they are pleasant to hold in the hand. The round box is quite stylish; in addition to their many other benefits, the headphones make an excellent present, and their packaging makes them particularly suitable for giving to a loved one. They wrote about the pressure on the temples, but all you need to do to slightly deploy the tight hinges (finding the optimal angle) is to redirect the pressure of the ear pads from the temples to the part that is behind the ear. There are no complaints about the convenience of landing. I can sit in these for hours without feeling any pressure because the leatherette is so delicate. Although they weigh a little bit more than those made entirely of plastic, they do not give the impression of being heavy when worn on the head. After quickly removing the transfer pads at the sites of contact of the cups with the metal arms, there are no residues after one month of active use, indicating that the problem is extremely improbable. The connection with a personal computer, mobile phone, and tablet is lightning-fast and problem-free. Even though there is a powerful WiFi6 router "phonites" nearby, my connection continues to function smoothly and without interruption even when passing through two load-bearing walls made of reinforced concrete (with a PC passing through one of the walls). This is a surprising finding. There is a link to two devices at the same time, and they flip between them very quickly. You can use BT5, in addition to any modern codec, from SBC all the way up to LDAC. Although the battery does not set any records for capacity, the autonomy is more than sufficient for my needs. USB connector of the modern Type-C variety.
Cons
- It seems to me that they are not well adapted for usage when traveling because they do not fold up, the carrying bag is enormous (it is more for storage, and not for constantly carrying it with you), the sound insulation is only satisfactory, and the noise reduction is, to put it bluntly, inadequate. All of this is nice to have, but it's not essential for me because I got it for personal use only. To make up for the fact that the buttons are not particularly easy to press by touch (with the exception of the play button), it would be excellent if at least the power button were textured in some way. The more you do it, the more accustomed you become to discovering things by feel rather than sight, yet this is obviously an ergonomic issue. Much more annoying is the switch between the noise reduction mode and the transparency mode. When the headpiece is removed, it is unfortunate that there is no pause option available. There is no way to change these ear pads to velour or simply upgrade them to universal ones over time. Additionally, the original ones cannot be located and would cost a third of the price of the headphones themselves. Unfortunately, the ear pads on these headphones are non-standard and have a plastic latch. There is apparently no alteration to the headband at all. In the summer, when the temperature is high, it is natural for the ears to produce perspiration (since leatherette and lack of ventilation). Because of an unknown reason, the audio jack on this device is just 2.5 millimeters in size, and the accompanying audio cable is similarly small to the length of the USB cable. The microphone is only for appearances; regarding the quality of the sound, we will simply remark that it is adequate. The application on the phone is completely useless to me in terms of its functionality because the equalization that is included in it can only be used on the player that is built into the phone itself. When connected via USB, the headphones do not work with all cables; there is no Windows driver; in the device manager, the Shure 50 hangs with a yellow icon and an exclamation mark; however, it works without any issues (up to 32bit / 384kHz); by the way, the volume is significantly higher than when connected via Bluetooth; and the quality is at least as good as when connected via Bluetooth with LDAC.
Pros
- Beautiful. The correct amount of pressure applied to the ears should consist of very plush ear cushions that should not be compressed to the point of causing discomfort, but should be compressed just enough to ensure that the headphones remain firmly in place on the wearer's head. The cord that is included, which goes from a Jack 2.5mm (headphones) to a Jack 3.5mm (to the source), is quite thin and stretchy. It feels like it is break resistant. Nonetheless, there are occasions when you wish it were an additional 50 centimeters in length.
Cons
- In my view, the cost is excessively exorbitant for what is being offered. Most likely only due to the reputation of the brand. It is reasonable to assume that the function of active noise reduction of environmental sounds is not present. When you turn it on, there is a slight alteration in the sound. Only a slight reduction can be heard in the background noise, and even then, only in certain discrete portions of the audible spectrum. The sound that you listen to will be distorted while you use this function, which is the price you have to pay for using it. I believe that the break in the frequency response has some significance because it occurs someplace. In order for the headphones to function wirelessly, the Bluetooth version used to communicate with them must be at least 5.0. If this requirement is not met, the headphones will not function. The sound did not please, either through the wire or the bluetooth connection. A few more details can be found in the comments. After having the android application and the software installed and activated, there were no noticeable modifications to the job. In place of English, the commenting voice 2022 has been installed. Did not like. Poor attention paid to pronunciation. Whenever a comment is made on whether the headphones are turned on or off, as well as whether the bluetooth connection has been formed or broken. They are relatively weighty when compared to the wired Chinese ones that are sold at low prices. This is the cost of constructing something out of solid metal. Nonetheless, it appears to be used, since they no longer strain when working at the office. Despite this, at the end of the day I have a surge of energy when I take them off. My system unit is equipped with a PCI-E Bluetooth adapter that is based on an Intel AX210 module that supports the Bluetooth 5.2 standard. After all, Bluetooth communication is a two-way street; therefore, for there to be reliable communication, it is necessary that both the adapter and the headphones have worthy receivers and transmitters. Already, there are problems with communication due to the presence of two thin brick inside walls. In my opinion, that is not sufficient. This is because of an adaptor, or possibly headphones, in the system. To begin, I placed an order for brown headphones. I had a look at them, and the hue is "not rich," which makes me think of. The color black denotes banality. Choose the color white. Didn't have second thoughts about the hue. On the other hand, I have to write in deficiencies due to the fact that the ear tips smudge the fabric on the inside of the ear pads. See photo here. Looks terrible. Despite the fact that it appears that my soup is not too dirty))) The cups spin as you take them off or put them on with one hand, causing the setting of their protrusion to become either longer or shorter. When I wear it again, I will readjust it to fit me perfectly. It turns out that it can be saved if the settings are dressed or removed with extreme caution.
