Shure AONIC 50 BK 5-stars Reviews

8 month usage review

I wanted to test these in the field before giving my opinion and the headphones are well above and beyond my expectations so far.

Regarding my typical usage: I use the headphones at work in noisy labs, in an open-plan office with 4 other colleagues, and at night to sleep.

The battery duration is fantastic: The headphones last with a single charge for listening to music overnight (6-7 hours), then I am able to work 7-8 hours with a single charge.

The device switching is also great: I use it with my phone, 2 laptops and my Nintendo Switch often and there is very little delay when actively switching between devices. Sometimes my phone (iphone) tends to not release the bluetooth but that is more on the host end.

The build quality so far has been also great: As noted, I sleep with the headphones and after going through 4-5 pairs these are extremely comfortable, don't hurt my ears after extended use, and they have sustained a lot of overnight turning -- the only small detail is that the head foam faux leather started pealing off (as well as the sides of the earphones) after some time, so I just glued them with acrylate glue -- a bit nastly looking but my use case is quite rough.

Overall great headphones, very comfortable and the only thing that I really appreciate from headphones -- being able to swap out parts, is that the earpad replacements are a bit on the expensive side (~80 eur), but overall I think the headphones are a great purchase.

Great

All i wanted from my headphones

Very clear sound. Surprised bluetooth can be made to work so well. Comfortable to wear for long periods. Noise cancelling is also pretty good. Works with computer, phone, etc. These exceeded my expectation and are in daily use for my teaching.
