@andjayik Yes, seems a good option too. Is the bass heavy on this than the Q30? And most importantly, how is the build quality?

Thanks @JoshG1217 ! Guess the 3D effects are majorly for movies and gaming or may be even for some live shows. Yamaha is about $100 more than Shure in my place. Yamaha comes with a one year warranty and shure with 2 years. Hopefully the build quality is good for Yamaha... Any idea on the mic...

Hi @Malevolent I did try the Sony XM4, while it has excellent ANC, I did not like how it sounded - bass was quite strong or rather perhaps it was getting into the mids/highs and wasn't helping the overall sound quality. And I didn't like the flimsy build quality of the Sony. Bose N700, sounded...

@Malevolent - Hi! I've been looking to purchase the Shure Aonic 50 and have heard wonderful things about their sound quality. Also wanted to check with you regarding their bass. Is there a lack of bass as such or something that can be EQ'ed? Also how is their MIC and ANC performance? Your...

Yes, looking at the Aonic 50! I'm fine with their size or the large case. As long as they sound good, last long and good for calls, I'm fine. BTW, ATH M50BT was also a good option I guess. But lack of ANC is a bummer..

Thanks Josh! Awaiting finale between Shure and Yamaha!

You and I are sort of in a similar boat! Have you finalized yours, yet? I have had the opportunity to test the likes of Sony, Bose and JBL. Bose was the decent one out of the lot; JBL Tour one was horrible, slightly better was Sony and then Bose better than Sony. There are no exclusive or...

Unfortunately, Phiaton is not available/quite tough to get in India. At this point Yamaha YHL700A costs $100 more than the Shure here in India. I don't mind investing the extra $100, but didn't want to be disappointed with the sound quality, hence checking with experienced users. Worth...

@JoshG1217 Hi Josh. Majorly looking for a ANC headphone with good sound and build quality for music/movies and mic quality office calls. Didn't really like the Sony's. I'm confused between the Shure AONIC 50 (lack of bass?) and Yamaha YHL700A (lack of details?). How much would you rate the bass...

Thanks. I meant it sounds a little muddled, with other details not so prominent. If you listen to the original version which comes before the YHL recording, there is a good difference.

Completely agree! Outside of this thread, there are not many resources available as a reference point. Hence wanted to confirm with the owners if it was even something which sounded like their headphones, was surprised by the side by side comparison of the original audio and the YHL... I'm...

@MFHRaptor @hannibal80 @Romani Folks, can you please confirm about the accuracy of the sound of the headphones demoed in this video recording between 3.00 - 3.20, the sound from the headphones in the video seems muddled with other details not so prominent. Is it just because of the recording or...

How is the call quality of the Aonic 50? With the new firmware, has there been any improvements?

Listening to the recording between 3.00 - 3.20, the sound from the headphones seems muddled with other details not prominent. Is it just because of the recording or the sound of YH-L700A? ANC seems quite decent!

Hi. Were you able to make any comparisons with the Shure Aonic 50? And if you are still using the YHL700A, how is the ANC and mic quality for calls on phone & MS Teams? I'm also now confused between these two cans.

Hello All, I'm a newbie here and it's so very interesting to read through your reviews/experiences. I'm looking for a headphone with good build & sound quality and decent ANC for music, movies and most importantly for calls. I had tried the Sony WHXM4 and didn't really like the sound and more...
