Dude I work in audio-visual , have electrical engineering degree, and have listed to many different type of headphones. I have a pair of the Shure Aonic 50 . I don't know what you heard ,but they're one of the best pair of headphones I've ever listened. And that's including Sennheiser. Something seriously off with your review.
Edgar definitely listen to the H9s before buying them, I didn’t, and hated the extremely sibilant sound signature, had to sell them within days. all B&Os are somewhat sibilant but the H9s were just horrible :(
The Momentums already sound "fun" in their stock EQ as that already has a boosted bass level of +2db (as measured in the rtings review e.g.). Why you would want to raise their bass level even more is beyond me. Sure, there are bassheads out there that want even more than that but still... Personally, I think that when you turn up the bass even more, they don't retain their soundstage and instrument separation, which makes sense when you think about it. I like these reviews here but they are very often quite "bass centric" reviews and it often sounds like a bass that doesn't physically rattle your head is not a good bass - which, again, might be true for a certain target group but is not a good way to measure "quality" bass in any way. I listened to both the PX7 and the Momentums and ultimately kept the Momentums, as they personally just sound better to my ears. I haven't heard the Aonic 50 but would actually really like to when I get the chance as I have heard really good things about their sound performance. They seem to be fairly neutral and revealing sounding which can be a really good thing indeed. It makes sense why their sound performance is slagged off a bit here ;)
One correction, for the headphones to have "fun" EQ or a fun sound signature it has to be V-shaped meaning not only does headphone X boost bass but also treble.
@@theinfinate I'm definitely leaning that way too. I mean, in the microphone comparison, the AONIC 50s were clearly the best sounding, but despite that all he could do was say how the microphone wasn't that impressive.
Another comment pointed it out, that it's a bass centric review (nothing wrong with that). However it should be noted by reviewers what they want out of their headphones and how they want their music to sound.
I have the shure aonic 50s. And I have of course tried the bowers and Wilkins px7 and sennheiser momentum 3. I ultimately kept the shures because they actually have all the codecs and every feature I want. Of course they sound amazing too. I have worn the shures for almost 8 hours before with not much discomfort either so 🤷
Most of the reviews i've read say the Shure Aonic 50's are among the best. I think they're geared more toward recording artists so that's probably why they sound flat to you. Because that's what real monitor speakers in a recording studio sound like as well. Not bad but accurate. If you make a mistake on the instrument you will hear it.
Have you considered that your pair of Shures is faulty? Soundguys says they have the best sound quality in this category and I would argue their testing is far more thorough. No reviewers besides you have claimed their bass bottoms out.
Definitely a basshead's review. These days, courtesy of the Aonic 40's - you now have a daily commuter option if your preference is adjustable ANC, travel convenience, etc. Aonic 50's (with aftermarket suede cups) hold a permanent spot in my bag until they're dethroned. Caveats - I could give a toss about true ANC quality. A bit of a reduction is plenty for me. Can't stand cabin pressure, and can't stand in-ear buds. But I also need a decent mic and multi-device. I prefer a flatter sound, too. Favorite Sennheiser's are the 560s, for reference.
@@anastasiosvlachopoulos578 Long answer. The reviewer doesn't know what he is talking about or is massively biased against non-bass-driven headphones and after hearing his description of the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 in this video, that is where my money would go. Also, it isn't just CZcamsrs who have said the sound quality of the Aonic 50's is good. Members of the Head-fi community have also been complimentary. The Aonic 50 isn't perfect sounding (few headphones are). They could do with a little bass boost at times (when you turn on ANC it does help, as well as when you listen wired) but generally, they are considered to be one of the better options available, particularly now that Shure lowered the price.
just curious why is your channel's name GYMCADDY ?? is this somehow related to your enthusiasm to gym? Or is it a audio term I'm not aware of? does it even mean anything?
I bought the Aconic's and I liked them enough to operate, the ear pads got very uncomfortable within a short amount of time. I had a pair of sheepskin pads( angled) and once I got the originals off, I knew to use the ring that the old pads was glued to, it was do or die. The operation was a success, I listened for hours their is a little more bass, but not enough to feel any regret. The choice of course is yours, I'm cool with mine.
How did you attach the ring to the new pads, was is a simple case of gluing it on? Looking to get the Shure but when I tried them I found the pads a little uncomfortable. Thanks.
Great review! I’ve heard the Sennheiser Momentum 3 since February and I love them. I tried everything out there and they provide everything I need and more.
10:10 this part is false. The EQ is loaded in the phones and you can close the app and use them with other apps or divises or with a cable and your selected EQ is still there.
I haven't listened to the PX7s, but the Momentum 3s sound nasty, the low-frequency emphasis masked the lower midrange, which resulted in a muddy mess to my ears. I would personally get the AONIC 50 over the Momentum 3, as much as I love how the Momentum line looks.
The aonics are disqualified for comuters but the senheisers aren't? Seriously? The senheiser case is twice as thick. Anyone who ever had a headphone case in a backpack knows thickness is far more important than just Footprint
Im music quality guy more than anything. I have my IEM the KZ SA10 I've owned for over a year now bought them for £40. After watching the reviews on Momentum 3 i bought them and arrived 4 days ago. Comparing them to my KZs i think this is a scam. My KZ sounds way better balanced, crispy and best instrument separation no colouration whatsoever. Yet the Momentums for £350 they sound dull dark and the tremble is dead i mean you can barely hear it, Like what the hell man. Honestly its a let down for me and I'm annoyed.
When talking about the dual-device pairing, could you also mention whether this feature can be disabled? For example, paired to computer (desk) and phone (pocket). You decide to walk around the house doing chores and remain connected to phone (pocket) but constantly connect/disconnect to computer (desk) when you approach/walk-away-from it. Bose QC35 offers little control over this dual-pairing.
Bit late but in case it helps anyone else with same question, I know that on the Sennheiser M3s, you can't turn the feature off (like in Sony XM4) but you can control which devices are connected/disconnected so if you wanted to be connected to just one device, you could do this, via the app. (You also have the option to turn off voice prompts so you wouldn't have to keep hearing 'phone 1 connected', 'phone 1 disconnected' etc which may appeal as an alternative to some.)
I got the momentum 2 since 4 years now and I never worried about them just threw them in the bag with bottles or books on top and what else. Watching this video on them so I dont think you need a case at all they are verry robust.
Okay. So not the Shures. I already have the PX, PX7, and Mom3 for trial. PX have blown me away, PX7 are disappointing, as PX have much better detail, far wider sound stage, and much cleaner bass. But the Mom3's are really good, sound wise! Their bass rattles my head, but not in a muddied way as the 1000XM4's have a small tendency to, and very importantly the rest of the sound scape still plays fully under the hefty bass. I am very impressed with the Mom3's and will keep them together with my former champions the PX, who's noise reduction is actually almost on par with the 1000XM4's because of their passive filtering. Not big head approved, though, the PX.-) ThanQ for many good reviews!
I didn't like the PX7 for the clear sub-mid bass boost and slight upper frequency boost that really and significantly recessed the mid-range and caused the vocals to be drowned out. My PXs are my favorite ANC headphones as for me no other headphone is matching them for sound quality or build quality/looks. The M3s I had had far too much bass for me. I'm not a bass head and it just made the vocals not that great on the M3s.
@@SocietateaAscendenta I do recommend! After I bought Shure I returned to shop next day to insure my choice - I spent 2 hours more comparing Shure and Sony. And still went with Shure :) But Sony has advantage in functions and usability its obvious.
I recommend the PX7, the Momentum 3 got very uncomfortable after a while, because they press your upper ear on your head and with the temples between them it will give you an unpleasant feeling really quick. With the PX7 I had no problems at all 😊
Please let me know which phone is shown in the video (during Sounds Equalizer portion of the video), it is excellent and different, in today's smartphone sea of notches and punch-holes...
personally I love bass and I think waaaaay too many companies don't provide enough bass in their headphones, mainly because people cry about it or are too sensitive when it comes to bass but you can always eq bass out if its ever too much! we need more bass in all headphones period! who wants to listen to a mix with little to no bass is beyond me and that's just boring!
Theyre better for producing type atmospheres where noise shouldn't be a priority. The bass isn't so strong so when making music you hear the accuracy of what the sound is on its own. And clarity is the priority.
@@GodSpeed1105 Making ANC headphones where ANC isn't a priority seems like it's defeating the point of the exercise. If I just want HiFi headphones without ANC there are plenty available that sound much better than these.
I use the Shures at work I have a recording set up at home with studio monitors and studio grade headphones...The sound in the Shures compares to what I get out of my studio they are a real pleasure to listen to.
Thx for my request. I will choose the px7's if i worth to choose one. Now i know i should hv requested this 1 year ago but could u do comparison between the jabra elite 85h vs bose qc35ii
Sir can you make a comparison video between SONY XB 700 and shennhiser HD 350 BT cause these headphones sold in Amazon in almost around same price which is 8000 rs INR ,can you help please?

U kinda sound really biased against the Shures
Regarding the Aonic 50 - You can now save EQ changes directly to the headphones... finally!
That is good to hear, thank you! I was conflicted on choosing them because they didn't allow you to save EQ changes. Actual good news.
