Overall, recommended.
I looked for the Shure Aonic 50 everywhere but I could only find them in stock at Kameraexpress.
Before, I had the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, same price, but their sound is very flat compared to Shure. Yet Shure's sound is still very balanced.
To me the Bose headphones were extremely uncomfortable especially at the top of the head and on the ears, since they headphones are relatively thinly built and the earcups themselves were smaller in size. Shure is in this regard more comfortable, yet I made the experience that all headphones start to hurt after some time of wearing.
Shure "only" has actual buttons and no motion control, which is a plus for me though.
Furthermore, the Noise Cancelling of the Shure headphones is pretty good, though to ME they don't block out as much noise as Bose 700. I think that could also be preference though, since I saw different opinions on this online. Overall, their noise cancelling is still great, if there is a difference, it is minimal.
My greatest concern when buying the Shure Aonic 50, was that you cannot use the Equalizer (offered in their App PLAY) on apps outside their own App. However, this issue was fixed with the new headphone's update. I was offered to do it immediately and quickly when I downloaded the app and it took around 5-10 Minutes to download. Now I can use the Equalizer on all my phone apps. A downside to this is, that if you connect your headphones to your computer, you cannot use the equalizer (except there exists an App for the computer that I am unaware of). I think most headphones with app controlled equalizers have this problem though.
Overall, I can only recommend them. I have them for a month now and I am still in love with them. They look decently nice, have good noise cancelling, are comfortable and have nice sound.
+ Shipping was quick and easy in Noord-Holland.
