AONIC 50 BK : They sound really good but...

4 years ago

These headphones have great sound both bluetooth and wired. All the noise cancellation and environment mode work fine, just the strong noise cancellation feels really oppresive.

Just a side note, to connect these headphones via AUX seems to be only possible with the provided cable. If you use an alternative cable you seem to hear nothing at all except random noise. Long story short you HAVE to use THEIR cables to use AUX. I presume they have done a pinswap or similar. This is stupid.

Comfort-wise these headphones fall short for me. I might just have a big head, but these after about an hour these press the frame of my glasses into the side of my head making it really uncomfortable to use for longer periods of time. Without glasses you can wear them for longer but they still become uncomfortable across the headband bit after awhile.

They come with a "carrying" case but it is stupid, clunky and awkwardly sized. You probably will never use it.

The build quality is good, I find it unlikely I will accidentally snap the headband on these even without the carry case. The buttons are intuitive and easy to use.

Overall they sound great but could do with some comfort and convenience improvements
