An unusual “very Nothing” design, decent battery life, and, most importantly, an 8-point parametric equalizer! I immediately grabbed the white ones. That’s what we’ll be talking about today.

On the Shure website, there’s a hint about the Aonic 50 having to deliver a smooth sound, because ‘some comfortable, high-quality headphones with studio-class sound are the least we could do for you’.
