Good product, I recommend that you try it.

One of the best full size wireless phones on the market with a full range of Bluetooth codecs. Of course, you can hardly call the sound "monitor" sound, but in fact the sound of the Aonic 50 is one of the most balanced among its competitors. High frequencies are somewhat emphasized, due to which air appears in the sound and detail is increased. At the same time, I did not meet sibilants anywhere. The middle is pretty flat, no dips. And very fast elastic low frequencies without busting, even a little tidied up. As a result, the character of the sound can be called light. Definitely not for bassheads. I did not notice any particular genre preferences - you can perfectly listen to rock, metal, electronics, classics, and jazz.
The main frustration is the slurred performance of the ANC. When you walk in headphones on a walk in windy weather and turn on ANC, and you start to hear gusts of wind more strongly, then this, of course, is a failure. And in public transport, ANC does not completely dampen extraneous sounds.
All in all, given the price, this is one of the best wireless over-ear headphones with ANC for indoors and outdoors in calm weather. Especially for owners of Samsung smartphones, who are deprived of aptX HD, but can now use full-sized phones with LDAC support and very high-quality sound.

Pros

- Detailed sound with slightly accentuated highs and fast collected lows. - Solid construction, quality materials, comfortable fit, allowing you to use the headphones for several hours in a row. - Huge number of usage/connection options - wireless with different codecs, wired passive, wired in USB-DAC mode. - Virtually a complete set of Bluetooth codecs, including aptX HD and LDAC. At the same time, the connection is quite stable. - The presence of a fairly intelligent native application for flashing and setting operating modes and sound. - In the latest firmware v.0.7.0.0, it became possible to save the equalizer settings not only for the native application, but also for third-party applications. The equalizer itself in the native application allows you to fine-tune the sound quite finely. - The box is good for a gift. Complete set - all cables are present, there is a hard case for storage. - Mechanical control. - Good passive noise isolation. - Good implementation of transparency mode. Good job as a headset. - Multipoint is available for 2 devices, if anyone cares. - Replaceable ear pads, and, according to the Market, they are on sale, unlike the same Dali IO-4/6. - The ear cups rotate 90 degrees, allowing you to wear the headphones around your neck.

Cons

- Indistinct implementation of ANC. - Autonomy is not the highest among competitors - 15-20 hours of operation from a single charge, depending on the use of ANC. Up to 60 hours, Dali IO-4 is very far away. - You cannot use the equalizer with LDAC. - Slow charging speed. - Transparency/ANC switch slider is poorly recognized by touch. - Non-folding headphone design. Minus, of course, relative, but nonetheless. - Just a record-breaking huge storage and carrying case.
