Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased these for my girlfriend and honestly these are pretty dang good. Awesome sound, feels great, good quality.

Best sound quality! Better than XM4/XM3 (I've had those), but if you MUST HAVE THE BEST ANC, Get the Sony's. If you want better, BlueTooth codec support and sound then get the A50's. Now the multi-point BT is a little sensitive with multiple devices paired. The Mobile app is needed to update Firmware, and the mobile app is kinda jank. But great set of can's.

The noise cancelling works okay, but what is really impressive is the ambient boost setting. I can rock out and my wife won't get mad thinking I tuned out. Lol. Awesome for someone who loves music through high quality speakers but also still wants to be social. And I have been listening for hours on hours. Only charged once. Still going. Pretty awesome sound and be sure to get the firmware update via the app, worth it for the ambient setting

Love the beautiful sound but they are just too bulky & heavy for regular use.

I replaced my Sony wh-1000xm4 headphones with Shure Aonic 50 headphones, and I'm happy I did. The Shure sound much, much better to me. More accurate, more detailed. They're comfortable and well made. If you're more interested in sound quality than noise canceling, then give these a try. Noise canceling is not as effective as either Sony or Bose QuietComfort 35.

Yes noise canceling isn’t the best, comfort level might not be very good, but the sound quality for the price is top notch!! The sound is extremely clear and the bass isn’t bad at all. Also, the built quality is excellent!!

Bought these for my dad for Father’s Day, since he loved my Bose headphones and I saw that these Shure headphones had even better ratings. He said the audio quality is amazing, they pair to his phone “immediately” when he turns them on, no delay, and he said they’re super comfortable & the noise cancelling works really well too. He rated “10/10”

I wanted to write a review comparing these to the Sony WH-1000xm4 headphones, which I bought a few months ago and ended up returning. For my uses, these are much better headphones. These have excellent sound quality with a studio monitor - style flatter response, with much better high and mid-level sound quality than the sony's. This was my first priority and I found them head and shoulders better than the sony cans, which were subpar and all around tinny sounding. I think sony probably used cheaper drivers. The sound just seemed dull, with lots of lost details, where the Shure headphones have more detailed, richer sound. The Sony phones have better ANC hands down, but I found these more than adequate for a 10 hour flight from honolulu to charlotte with screaming kids in the next row. The screaming was reduced to a tolerable murmur. I liked the "environment mode", which turns up the ambient sound slightly in one ear so you can have a conversation (for instance getting a drink from the flight attendant without taking off the headphones). The Sony have a touch response where you rub your finger on the right headphone and it changes the volume, skips, etc. There are lots of annoying beeps and the swiping works about two out of three times. The Shure have tactile buttons for all of your adjustments, volume, ANC level, play/pause, etc and the volume adjustments are silent, with no beeps. I found that this worked a lot better for me. The Shure headphones lose points for the HUGE travel case - the Sony's folded up much smaller. Also instead of having a standard 1/8 jack they have some weird proprietary jack. I hate that kind of thing. At least the charging is USB-C (and you can apparently listen through the USB-C port, although I haven't tried this out) The other bizarre thing about these headphones is the app. The equalizer would not work with the spotify streaming codec so I had to download a different equalizer app. I thought this was really annoying and found that the sony app worked much better. Both the shure and sony headphones have good build quality. These are a bit heavier and mostly aluminum which makes me feel like they might withstand more abuse, but really if you are spending this much on headphones you shouldn't be abusing them. The sony travel case, as I mentioned, is a much better size. Long story short, if you really need to drown out ambient sound, like 100% of the time, and aren't picky about your music get the Sony WH-1000's. They block everything. If you want a pair of fantastic bluetooth headphones with a few quirks but no dealbreakers, good ANC, and a superior build quality I would opt for these Shure Aonic headphones. I would hope that the next generation would fold up better and get rid of the proprietary audio port.

This is a very good set of headphones. I recently got a Samsung S21+, and beings it didn't have a headphone jack, I decided to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Thankfully for me, these are amazing and fit the bill for everything. They have a great sound, and support sbc, aptx, and LDAC codecs, so you can get a maximum bit rate of 999kbps for near cd-like quality. If anyone appreciates music quality, but feel as though Bluetooth cannot provide the quality they desire, I would ask them to check out these headphones. The ANC isn't the greatest, but I don't use it, so it's unimportant to me.

Great sound, easy to pair to Sony TV, would recommend.

If you want simple to use controls. If you want great sound If you need really good ANC Then I highly recommend these. Found sound to be great. Tested ANC around home - worked great while vacuuming and doing dishes (while others watched TV in next room) – almost making both a “joy” to do. Nice to not have to blast the volume to override outside sounds helping to save your hearting. Maybe I am showing my age but I am really tired of touching the wrong area or sliding the wrong way on most new headphones – causing them to turn off or inadvertently changing volume or track, etc. These have a separate on/off and separate volume up and down buttons. There is a multitouch/function button situated between the up/down volume buttons with raised indicator - making it easily found and to navigate. I am retired but used to work from home often and can see that these would be great to stop sound distractions. Documentation indicates they work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Bluejean. There are so many features and specifications for these headphones that if you are considering please go to Shures website to get most complete info. In the box; Hard sided black traveling circular case with a nice built in mesh area to store the included USB-C and USB connector and 4ft 2.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable. Basic manual with control information. Suggest you go to Shure website and download PDF manual. 2-year warranty Use/impressions; Nicely designed and seem very sturdy with well cushioned headrest and earpads. Is made of anodized aluminum including earcup swivels. Replaceable leather earpads Easily synched and uses Bluetooth 5 .0. I had good signal up to around 35 feet thru 2 walls. Supports aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC, LDAC. To be fair I don’t know what some of these are but others might. Can be connected using provided 4ft 2.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable or USB-C. I did try to use USB-C to USB-C on my Windows 10 laptop and android phone and neither worked (but it did indicate it was charging). What did work on both is a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Also, if using cable, you can still use ANC – as long as battery has not run out. Found the sound to be great whether using Bluetooth or audio cable. Even at low volume bass was very nice but make sure you check your equalizer settings. The headphones themselves are pretty much standard size but they don’t fold in any way other than the earcups swiveling sideways. So, the case is about the size of a dinner plate, not great if planning to use for travel. There are some voice alerts letting you know headphones have been turned on, when they are connected, etc. Shure app is okay. You can set ANC levels (normal or MAX) or Environment mode (can hear outside noises), see battery charge info, use pre-set equalizer settings or adjust and create your own. Import your music to play, etc. I found headphones to be comfortable to wear BUT they fit very snugly around your ears/head. I assume to aid in noise canceling. They were also comfortable when I wore reading glasses As mentioned, controls are buttons on the right earcup. I found them very easy to use. Center button is multifunction – one tap for play/pause, next track 2 taps, previous track 3 taps, answer/end call 1 tap, decline call hold for 2 seconds, 3 taps to activate voice assistant and factory reset. Easy to move volume up/down using dedicated buttons. Noise canceling function is very good. As stated, they worked great while vacuuming. I did have an issue when going in/out garage door from house. It closes automatically and when it “slammed” shut I got very uncomfortable feedback thru the ANC. I did have volume a little high and ANC on MAX. Watching movies on my laptop, using Bluetooth connection, the sound I heard was well synched with the screen. I have had other headphones where that was not the case. Having the option to hard wire these is nice if headphone battery is dead, somewhere you cannot use Bluetooth or maybe to tap into in-flight entertainment. I don’t use headphones for calls so did not test that feature. But documentation indicates there are 6 microphones. 2 beamforming (4mm) on the right earcup for voice and telephony. 1 microphone on top of each earcup (6mm) for environment mode as well as FeedForward ANC. 2 microphones (6mm) inside each earcup for FeedBack ANC. Manual indicates around 20 hours of continuous use with a 15-minute charge providing 4 hours of playback and around 2 ½ hours for 0 – 100% charge. I didn’t run until battery ran out but after 2 hours of use indicated I had 91% left. My only real negative is that the headphones don’t fold necessitating a large carrying case. Overall a great option if you are looking for headphones in this price range. I do have a pair of Bose 700s that I did a back to back comparison and I would give edge to Shure on sound, app with controls, for me, being MUCH easier to use than Bose. But Bose are a tad lighter and case is ¾ the size of Shure’s. But please check Shures website for complete info as there is a lot……

Absolutely love this set of cans! Clear high notes, precise mid-level and substantial lows. Bought this at a sale price which made the value proposition much more enticing.

Great headphones. They live up to the functions - they cancel the noise. Comfortable on the ears

Music quality is above average if you lean towards bass. But Bose and Sony have better wireless and noise cancellation.

These headphones have the cleanest and purest sound of any I've heard. The noise canceling is not 100% effective, but I'm fine with it. Be sure to download their app and upgrade to the latest firmware...that improves the voice quality of the mic when making phone calls, and clients say the quality is excellent. Solidly built, easy to use.

I was skeptical but it really is a headphone for audiophiles like me. I am able to distinguish each individual sounds from every instrument and vocals which is really satisfying. Its EQ setting is also sophisticated. However, the noise cancellation could be better. But, overall I am satisfied.

Absolutely, the best headphones I've ever owned. I am the CEO of STUDIO W global Radio. I own eight sets of headphones and hands down these are the Best!!!

In the days of most every other company giving in to the wireless earbud craze, and thus using all their advertising budget, it is refreshing to see one company stand out from the crowd. As they should. Tall and proud. For these headphones are tantalizing to the audiophile in all of us. Going into it, I will say that I was expecting a lot. This is the company that makes my work-horse beta 58a microphones! Of which, I love and find no fault with. The Shure AONIC 50 headphones are sort of a hybrid, they are wireless, utilizing Bluetooth 5, but give you the luxury of sound and comfort that only premium OTE headphones can deliver. And the AONIC are premium in every aspect. That's not even including the fact that the AONIC 50 are ADJUSTABLE noise cancelling as well! Unboxing, I was greeted with a spectacular semi-hard-shell zip up carrying case. I feel confident that this case will protect the product in all my travels. And they will travel! Shure made sure (yes, I will be making puns) to have a rugged carry handle on the case. It's the little things like this that go a long way. Unzipping, inside I found the headphones, an "even your grandma can understand" owner's manual, a 3.5mm cable for when you want to be "wired", and a USB-C cable for charging and for connecting to "High-Res audio devices". Before getting all technical, it must be pointed out how comfortable the AONIC are! I have a big head which usually leaves me feeling like OTE/Studio headphones are trying to squeeze my brain out of my nostrils! Not so with the AONIC. The band can be lengthened to accommodate my big head! There is no "squeezing" effect like with other brands I have used. The cups feel like they are made with memory foam, so there is no "ear fatigue" either. Another on the "it's the little things" list, is that inside the cups in large font are the letters "L" and "R". I'm OCD about that, but I like to be assured I'm wearing them correctly. There is no second guessing in that aspect! All my audio "testing" was done either in my silent studio office utilizing a well-known DAW, or in the case of testing the noise cancellation feature - a well-known chain coffee shop that plays music that isn't anyone's......er....... I mean not my cup of tea (see what I did there?) :) The specs include a 50mm driver, dynamic Neodymium magnet delivering a very respectable 20Hz-22kHz frequency range. Impedance and sensitivity at 1kHz are 39 and 97.5dB/mW. The max input power is 100mW. The premium headphone amp supports many codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, SBC, AAC, and LDAC. SHURE claims that the wireless range is 30ft. I can confirm that I was able to go further. Roughly 45 feet. Couple all that with an "up to" 20-hour battery life and you have yourself an awesome pair of comfortable headphones... BUT WAIT.... There's more! We haven't even begun! One of the two things that blew my mind was the adjustable (Via Shure Plus app) active noise cancelling. There are two little mics, one on the inside and one on the out, which allows the ANC to adapt to your surroundings and dampen noise over a bigger frequency range. Out of the box, and default in the app is the "Max" setting. This utilizes a mixture of both feed forward ANC and feedback ANC. This setting removes up to 30dB of surrounding noise and annoying coffee consuming patron conversation. Again, these are so comfortable that when I was walking back to my car, I forgot I had them on. This led to me seeing but not hearing an incoming plane to our intl. airport! And normally such a plane would be LOUD. If, however, you are at the office and you don't need such a strong level of noise cancelling - you can switch it to normal mode. The one feature I wished other headphones had, this one does. No longer do I have to take off the headphones to hear something important (announcements, winning lottery numbers ha ha, etc.). Instead, you can easily switch to environment mode. This turns off the ANC to the degree that you can hear what's going on around you. All these settings and more are all configurable in the ShurePlus app. The second thing that blew me away was the sound quality and range! When I say these are the best sounding headphones I've ever had, I truly mean it! Using the above mentioned DAW, I played back full mixes and the clarity of each instrument was unbelievable. The "high" notes on an electric guitar produced no shrill buzzing, just as lows of a bass guitar or kicks of a bass drum produced no rumble. If you want to hear music the way the artists and producers meant for you to, then you want to get these headphones! It's a no brainer, and I'm SHURE of that (ok, the puns are over now)

headphones sounded great, did get a complaint about the mic and had to return as they were unable to connect to either Teams or my phone for call audio on three occasions, despite being connected via Bluetooth. would recommend for personal use but not so much for business.

These have such great sound that even with tinnitus, I am hearing music like I haven’t heard it before. I don’t even care if the anc is up to Sony standards.
