Customer Ratings & Reviews

A solid pair of over-the-ear headphones. Sound is pretty amazing. As several reviewers elsewhere have written, the sound is very natural, even--don't expect exaggeratedly thumping bass. Very comfortable to wear so far, although--to be fair--I've only had them on for about a two-hour period. That first international flight--post-COVID--will be the big test. Only partial negative to these headphones so far--I can foresee these being a bit of a pain to travel with. The sturdy round case is huge...and I don't want to travel without a case. Just wish these folded a bit (the only real movement, aside from extending/retracting from the headband, the only movement is the headphones rotating to allow them to be more-or-less flat).

Excellent headhones! I have another request for these as a birthday present, and I cannot begin to express how happy he was when he received them. He uses them at home often, and told me that they are the best ones he’s ever had. He likes a good base quality, and he said that these are exceptional for that, along with overall sound, evenness of tone, and I am delighted that he was so happy with this gift.

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.

Very nice headphones considering both the sound quality and materials. It feels like a premium headset in hour hands and on your head, very comfortable and easy to use for hours. I was pleasantly surprised by the volume level and power these produce using only bluetooth, definitely one of the best ive heard.

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

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”

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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……

I purchased this Shure AONIC 50 and I think they're excellent wireless headphones. The noise canceling feature works great too in eliminating outside noise.

The Shure AONIC 50 is a spectacular wireless headphone. The fit is great and they are super comfortable to wear for long stretches at a time. The sound is spectacular for everything from music to voice calls. With the SHURE PLAY app you can tailor the sound to you liking with a comprehensive Equalizer. I think the EQ happens purely in the playback software and not in the headphones though. I found out after fiddling for a bit with the app, while listening to Spotify and not noticing any audible difference when changing EQ settings, that it only has effect when playing via the PLAY app which for my iPhone is limited to Apple Music. If you want EQ functionality outside of listening through whatever PLAY integrates with any other app will need to implement EQ functionality, which the Spotify app does, by the way. I paired the headphones with my phone, laptop, and desktop computer. In all cases it worked perfectly with no issues, could connect to multiple devices at the same time and remembered each one when powering the headphones back on. There are multiple options for connecting to devices including Bluetooth, USB-C to USB-A (also for charging), and 3.5mm analog. Both cable types are included, however, the USB cable is pretty short and not all that useful for audio connections unless your device connection is really close to you. A couple of things to note is that when you plug in the 3.5 audio cable all Bluetooth connections will be turned off as stated in the manual. If you are plugged in via USB, connections will be maintained so that you could charge and listen to audio at the same time. My experience with the battery life is positive so far. For my first use I plugged in and charged the headphones. The app stated that they were at 95% charge when I started. After close to 10 hours of mixed use listening to music both Bluetooth and with cable, participating in online meetings using the microphone, and a couple of phone calls there was still 40% charge remaining. Given that I think that the headphones would probably come pretty close to hitting the 20 hours claimed by Shure on the packaging. Speaking of the packaging the retail box is a strange round hat-box style package. Inside is a very sturdy clamshell style zippered case with a rubberized outside which will do a great job protecting your headphones when not using them. Really the only area of improvement for these excellent headphones would be the side buttons. The controls are straight forward and easy to use. I did find that the center button / volume control was a little hard to locate by feel at times. Maybe the center button could be just a tiny bit larger or have a little different placement. Same goes for the other buttons. Overall, a superb headset with great sound and features. You will not be disappointed at all.

Love my new Shure AONIC 50 perfect sound listen my music clear and loud.
