New Head-Fier
It looks like it...Aren’t these the same that ship with the headphones?

Totally agree. One side note on the music files, last time i tried playing music through the app it wouldn't play Flac..well most of the music I do have on my SD card is flac and not just in name only. They are some quality recordings.I wouldn’t expect a new product so soon. I heard they were developing these for two and a half years.
For me the result is very good, I love them. I love the sound mostly.
But I seriously think their commercial department thought they could rest in the laurels of the Professional products and that was a big mistake. And also they were a bit presumptuous about the app, one aspect being maybe thinking “we’ll give them an EQ, but you’ll have to have the files on the device”... nowadays, who has the music files on their smartphone? Very few people, I would assume.
Anyway, I also know for a fact that the distributors in Europe have done a VERY BAD JOB. Even turning their backs to their “traditional” pro product resellers and relying solely on more “commercial” resellers to promote a brand that few people outside the pro or audiophile fields are mostly unaware of... BIG mistake.
IMO, they should have kept the Pro resellers in this, even if they wouldn’t sell much to the Pro market, and do a serious brand awareness campaign in the commercial market. As music lovers and audiophiles and possibly musicians we are ALL aware of Shure, but ask your friends outside this environment about the SM58 or the SE846 and they know nothing about it.
Bose, Sony, B&W, Sennheiser and others didn’t need to go through this ordeal (and cost). That’s another reason why after less than a year these dropped from 399€, I bought them at 320€ and now people are lucky to get these at 240€. It will kill the product and that’s a big shame.
Let’s hope they keep with their updates and that they don’t abandon this market. I will keep listening to mine almost everyday and enjoying them more and more.
I own both, and I find the sound signature of the Shure Aonic 50 much more pleasing on the majority of music. I also find it more comfortable when wearing glasses (as I am when typing this) than the PX7. I agree the ANC is not as powerful as the PX7 and certainly does not appear to cancel out anything like as much noise. I have yet to try the A50 on transport (good old Covid), but I suspect it may work well at dealing with persistent, low frequency sound. It certainly does little to reduce voices or other mid to high frequency sounds.
Did anybody experience issue with recognizing Aonic 50 as Headset only instead of Headphones under Windows 10, when connected via Bluetooth?
In my case all was fine until I connected Aonic to pc via USB cable and turned on the Aonic. Then Windows recognized it as Headphones and since then when I connected it via Bluetooth I got totally bad sound and basically only Headset recognition (it rejected to mark it as Headphones since that time via bluetooth). Voice and mic still worked fine but sound of everything was crap.
I started to uninstall all bluetooth and audio drivers, trying to remove and pair again Aonics on both pc and Aonic side, it was still the same. Then I removed everything related to bluetooth and audio from Device manager, restored to a state 1 week back whole notebook via windows restore point (still crap), then again removing all drivers (at that time I was clear this can't be solved anymore, just wanted to put it back and turn off), then I did undo the restore point back and suddenly again the Aonic was paired as Headphones / Shure 50 Connected Music, and in audio devices as Headphones (Shure 50 Stereo).
I have no clue what happened here but now I'm scared to again plug the headphones via USB cable and turn them on . I guess I will use it only for charging in turn off state.. Don't get this really.
Though, I must say this issue seems to be some generic one, not related to Aonic only but to all bluetooth headphones in some way, based on my research. It looks like bluetooth issue or something. But in my case it started with plugged in USB cable and playing music via this cable. It should not affect bluetooth at all.
Just twist counterclockwiseNot shure(!) if this has been answered but does anyone know how to remove the earpads? I need to find the serialnumber and I don't have the box anymore.
