Our take on the Shure AONIC 50 Gen 2 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

The AONIC 50 Gen 2 is Shure's second-generation flagship over-ear noise-cancelling headphone, built around 50mm dynamic drivers and a studio-tuning heritage. It stands out with broad hi-res codec support (LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD), four selectable ANC modes, spatialized audio with Music, Cinema and Podcast settings, and a long 45-hour battery. It suits listeners who want wired-grade sound quality with a detachable cable and 3.5mm/USB options, plus travelers who need strong ANC. Against Sony and Bose flagships it trades some app polish and lighter weight for bigger drivers, more codec flexibility and a more neutral, detailed sound.

Questions and answers

Does the AONIC 50 Gen 2 support multipoint?
No. It connects to one Bluetooth device at a time, so you must disconnect and re-pair to switch between a phone and a laptop.
Which Bluetooth codecs does it support?
SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive and LDAC. LDAC and aptX Adaptive give the best quality with compatible Android phones and players.
Can I use it wired?
Yes. The cable is detachable and it accepts 3.5mm analog and USB audio, so you can listen without Bluetooth or with the battery off.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 45 hours of playback, with quick charge for extra hours from a short charge. ANC and spatial audio reduce that figure.
Does it fold for travel?
No. The ear cups do not fold flat, so it takes more bag space than folding rivals, though it ships with a hard case.
Is it good for calls?
Six beamforming microphones handle voice pickup well in quiet settings. In wind or crowds, callers report more background noise than on the best call-focused headsets.
