I believe that this was the best sound (both ANC and Music) comparison demo that I have seen and heard in a TH-cam video. Well done, man…very well done!
Hey man, great review, very clear and wonderful to have the comparisons with Gen 1. But I really wanted to comment on your cinematography - it's absolutely lovely! Lighting is spot on (no pun intended) and grading is really really nice. Composition and movement also really impressive. Very "filmic", the whole thing - just what I like!! I know it takes time and dedication to get results this good, so wanted to say well done!!!
Sad to hear the issue with noise cancelling freaking out on bumpy busses was not fixed. It's my main issue with my Gen 1s since my main use of them is on the bus.
Very nice to hear a comparison of the 1st gen and 2nd Gen. Thats definitely a noticeable difference. I think the 50s (1st Gen) were on sale this past Black Friday somewhere for $130 vs the 2nd Gen I think are about $330+? Not sure which I would want to invest in. I love a deal but that is a good difference in sound.
Hello, I would like to ask 2 questions: 1. Will the EQ in the app change the sound while listening to Pandora❓out of the app? 2. If Bose QC ultra ANC is a 9/10, what would you rate the ANC on the aonic50 gen 2 ❓ Thanks
Hey could you tell us about the Volume Steps? Did they increase the Steps from Gen 1 to Gen 2? Gen 1 had I think only 15 Volume Steps so I had sometimes Problems to adjust the Volume to my Likings.
The options and settings in the app to tweak are actually crazy good compared to headphones like XM5 by Sony, which most of the features they set up automatically by """ AI """. It barely works, and you can't even do things like turn off notification sounds or lower volume of it. Sony should be ashamed of themselves, as should they be of dropping all the codec support besides their own. Either way, that's just a comparison of how many things Shure does right. It's a shame those headphones are not known at all, but in my opinion, they're currently the best in almost all measures. ANC is always a thing that one headphone can do better in some extend, but Gen2 is so good now at it, it's not worth losing all the other things, just to have slightly better ANC in some situations. I personally also went from Gen 1 to Gen 2. I feel like the main difference in sound quality is tweaking of bass and lower frequencies to have more power, while not muddling over the rest, which they seemed to do pretty well. It takes time to get used to it, and I'm trying to find a fault in the stronger bass, as if it makes things worse, but so far I notice myself hearing more tones and sounds, despite bass being punchier, so it is a win win. It is really good, especially when I try games like Battlefield 2042. I can really hear the shots, explosions and other sounds, that are just meaty.
thanks for the long comment, i agree with most of what you said, except that sony dropped the ball. Its a different target audience their going for, in my opinion.
@@LeechTM Maybe so. I was mostly listing frustrations of my SO that tested out XM3 and XM5 for themselves and use them, and lack of options is just annoying at best. Sony XM5 for example change ANC strength themselves, and they do it badly, causing sound distortions. There are many tiny things that Sony assumes they 'know best' and take away control from the user, while making it annoying, not useful. But that's just an opinion of a power user :)
@@5_i_v_e depends what you use to connect with to the computer. I use BT-W3 dongle, which has Low Latency mode, there's also newer BT-W5, that supports the latest standard on the headphones.
@@Xanoxis Awesome! Yes I have the Nura BT low latency adapter so I should be good. So how do they sound for gaming? Can you hear footsteps n directional sound well?
@@LeechTM witch one You'll take? This one, or Bowers & wilkins px7 s2e or B&O HX? I want to buy something witch has a bit of surround sound just for feeling wibe what I'm listenning. TWS like B&W Pi7 s2 or Technics az80 may be added to the wishlist?
Awesome review. Love the back to back sound comparison. Unfortunately, these aint for me. The mids and highs sound tiny and veil. The bass sounds good, but that's only cuz I'M LISTENING to your recording on my super bassy AKG N5005.

Schwierig zu beantworten, da ich die inears von Shure bisher nicht getested habe. Aber was ich dir sagen kann ist das die Overear, und im speziellen die Gen 2 ziemlich gut klingen. Du kannst auch gerne die Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e ausprobieren, die klingen auch sehr gut, und sind preislich ungefähr gleich.
they have turned audiophile sound quality into generic bass boost of every other wireless headphones on the market. what is nice about listening songs with instafilter on it producers didn't want? why shouldn't it be just an option in the app
@@LeechTM I am looking for buy a Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2. Do you recommend it? OR another branch sony headphones wh-1000xm4? Please give me a good guidance. thanks

Are this headphones loud enough?
Good comparison audio clips. Thanks dude.
Your welcome
Thank you very much! This video was very useful for me. Well done!

The sound quality increase if you use it wired with a dap? And its a flat sound? Thanks

Gen 2 is the overall better Headphone, by quite a margin, but gen 1 is still a very good Headphone.

2. If Bose QC ultra ANC is a 9/10, what would you rate the ANC on the aonic50 gen 2 ❓

1. I cant answer that, i dont use Pandora. 2. i`d say somewhere around the 7 Mark.
@@LeechTM I saw on TH-cam that gen1 the EQ only worked for music played thru the app, in other words music played on TH-cam was unaffected
Hi love the video. When you are listening to the headphones at a higher volume can people on the outside hear your music? Thanks!
as with most Headphones, yes.
Hey could you tell us about the Volume Steps? Did they increase the Steps from Gen 1 to Gen 2? Gen 1 had I think only 15 Volume Steps so I had sometimes Problems to adjust the Volume to my Likings.
sry, i already had to send them back, so i cannot check the steps on Gen2.

since i already own the Gen 1s, i would go for the Px7 S2e. I really like the standard Sound without any tweaking that they can produce.
@@LeechTM so even with compare this ones here You Want to get Px7s2e, right? Thanks a lot for a quick responces 💪🏻 💪🏻 take care 🤝🏻
Good afternoon, what is the bluetooth version? 5.2 or 5.3?
Shure does not mention which Bluetooth Version it is, they only say Bluetooth 5
These headphones or Sennheiser Momentum 4? Can you help me plz? :/
I need them for music, films and some travel by plane.
Depends. Sound wise i like the Gen2 better, Anc is better on the momentum 4.
@@LeechTM Thkz so much :)
hi; I have sold my sony whxm4 and I can buy the shure aonic gen 1 for 66e; you recommend it?
for 66 Euros, of course! Thats quite a steal.
@@LeechTM thank you very much. Your review was awesome
Have you tried the mark Levinson 5909? Is it far better than the Shure ?
Danke dir. Klasse gemacht. Grüße Armin

3years ago 20 hours battery was normal
yes.
They made the bass pop out more nice
yes, overall its a better Headphone than Gen1.

On generation 2 base sound much deeper and poofy..... Definitely generation 2 is my choice
same
