Immediately upon opening the packaging box, my reaction was “Boy, this has got to be the biggest case ever!”. I mean, we are talking 10” in diameter! While I appreciate the fact that this case would protect this investment quite effectively, I do wonder who would tote this huge case around while commuting, rather than leaving it at home for proper headphone storage. However, upon taking the headphones out of the case, I was like: “Wow, these are some great-looking headphones!” At this point, the case’s size was no longer a concern. The black AONIC 50 Headphones simply look stunning, with their sleek design, ionized metal arms, and chrome logo on the cups. It screams luxury and it is something I would be proud to take on a business class flight, a work meeting, or video conference. These seem very well built and durable. The headband is made of faux leather on top with sturdy stitching and is quite flexible. The earcups are made of a matte plastic, and, while they did attract some fingerprints, look great, nonetheless. The right earcup holds all the controls. Personally, I would have liked the buttons to be dispersed between the earcups as this seems to me a bit too clustered. Once I got used to the layout, I am happy to say I was able to control with ease all functions -power, volume, play/skip/forward, and assistant from one side. There is also a slider that controls noise cancellation (ANC), which I think is a bit awkward and somewhat clunky, but still effective. There, you also have a USB-C charge/connection port, which I appreciate for future-proofing. On the left side, we have the 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack, which I think is odd, but Shure included a cable for it. The most important factor, at least for me, is the sound quality. In this regard, I am very pleased with the default sound signature of the AONIC '50s. Having support for multiple codecs including Bluetooth 5.0 Qualcomm® aptX™, aptX™ HD, aptX™ LL and more, there is something for everyone. Without getting into audiophile territory, the 50mm drivers produce an even or flat-oriented sound with distinct separation and great soundstage. The bass is punchy, but in some cases may lack depth or resonance. Personally, I don’t mind this as I like the bass to be tight and not overbearing. The mids are clear and present and the high frequencies are not fatiguing or harsh. I found the sound great for easy listening, classic rock, classical music, live performances, and podcasts/audiobooks. Perhaps these may not be the best for hip-hop, EDM, or any deep bass-oriented music. Overall, I believe these provide an exceptional listening experience, which I expected from Shure. When it comes to comfort, these cans are decent. The headband padding is good enough, with good clamping on the sides. I found that the headphones shifted often while walking -especially on a hike with uneven terrain. The earpads are super soft and do not rub against my ears (I will admit that I have small ears) and had no issues wearing glasses. After a couple of hours, the side of my ears did get a bit hot and sweaty, so keep that in mind, especially if you rock out to music as I do. Call quality is good. I was told my voice sounded clear, a bit tinny and recessed, but clear. There were no hiccups or breakup. I did try calling in different environmental settings. The noise cancelling (ANC) was not quite to the standard of other headphones I own, but I thought it was well implemented. It helps that the headphones themselves can block a lot of ambient noise passively. I tried this feature while washing dishes, walking on a heavily trafficked road, and while the TV was on. Again, while not overly impressed, the ANC did block most of the noise. Perhaps this can be improved through a firmware update later on. The Environment Mode simply picks up the sound around you through the microphones. It’s a convenient feature when you need to be aware of your surroundings, like crossing a street or listening for the next train stop announcement. Again, it is nice to have but to me, it is a feature I really will not be using all that much. If you do get these headphones, I recommend downloading the ShurePlus PLAY app. There, you can adjust and customize settings like noise cancellation, environment mode, the equalizer, and update the firmware. You can also play music straight from there, but I thought it was a bit unecessary in my opinion. Other good things about the AONIC 50s include a 20-hour battery life (so far so good), strong connectivity throughout my medium-size apartment, experiencing no lag while watching videos, and high-resolution playback through USB-C, which I appreciated when gaming on my PC. In the end, I believe the Shure AONIC 50 ANC Wireless Headset is a welcome and worthy addition to the world of premium headsets. So far, no ANC headset at this price range has been perfect for me, and this also is no exception. Having stated this, I highly recommend checking these bad boys before making any decisions on other comparable headphones from other well-known brands, and if you do decide to get these, you definitely will not be disappointed.

The headphones come in their own sleek zip up black carrying case. Inside of the carrying case comes the USB-C to USB-A cable (1M long), 2.5-3.5MM male to male audio cable (1.5M long), and the noise cancelling headphones. To adjust the headphone cups, you must twist them towards you. Inside the headphone cups, they are mark with an "L" and a "R" to let you know which side is which. The bottom button on the right headphone cup is the power button. When you turn it on for the first time, it will atomically enter paring mode with your device. Go to your settings and select "Shure 50". You will hear "connected" and then you are good to go. It took me 30 seconds to start hearing music in my headphones. It was the easiest setup ever. I was also able to connect to a phone call in the middle of the phone call with no problem. The sound of the caller is clear, and they were able to hear my voice perfectly fine with no issues. If you need to manually pair, then you need to turn off the headphones, press and hold the power button for 6 seconds, and then when you hear "Bluetooth pairing mode," release the button. From your audio source, select "Shure 50". When successfully paired, you will hear "connected". You can connect to more than one device (8 total). Here is what happens: I was connected to one device listening to music. I received a phone call that rang in the headphones. I answered the call, but it took about 15-20 seconds for the headphones to disconnect from one device to allow me to hear the caller in the headphones. Once it disconnected from my music device and connected to my phone, everything was great. It's just that initial connection takes some time to transfer over. Once the phone call was done and the caller hung up, it quickly connected to my music device in less than a second and continued playing my music. When you are listening to music, the center button (has an elevated circle to let you know which button it is) between the volume increase and decrease buttons will be your controller If you press it twice quickly, it skips to the next track. If you press it three times quickly, it goes to the previous track. Pressing it once will play/pause the song. Pressing it once will also answer/end a phone call. The noise cancelling button gets activated by sliding the button up or down. Up will deactivate the noise canceling feature (saving you battery life). Sliding it down will activate the noise cancelling feature and use up more battery. The headphones get up to 20 hours of battery life noise cancelling option off. The battery life is longer (up to 22hrs) if you are listening at less than max volume. You can get double runtime using noise cancelling without bluetooth. Standby time is about 35 hours. Fifteen minutes of charge gets you about 4 hours of use. Two and a half hours of charge gets you from 0% to 100% full battery. It weighs 11.8 oz. It does feel a bit heavy but when those headphones cover your ears and the sounds travel into your ears, it's like heaven. The bass is great, and the earcups feel soft on your ears and head. They are stable and do not move around while on your head. They cover your entire ear, so any discomfort is gone. The ear pads are replaceable, so all you have to do is twist and pull off. They are real easy to remove and put back. I would most definitely recommend these headphones to anyone and everyone. They are super comfortable, and the sound is amazing. They have a long batter life, and the bluetooth connection to multiple devices makes it very easy enjoy the headphones while doing other things.
