Hi, new here and need some advice from Aonic 50 owners.
I bought a pair of Aonic 50s from Amazon Spain, managed to snag them for just €150. Very happy.
For the build and audio quality, I am very very happy. They sound really super IMO. However, I have noticed that the microphone quality and ANC is IMO, terrible. The ANC basically does not do much in my tests (it could well be that these tests are not great of course). I've tried a few calls with the headphones and the mic quality is really really bad. So I figured there is a problem with the headphones. So I switched to testing using my wifes Pixel phone, mic sounds fine albeit picks up a lot of higher frequencies and sounds somewhat metallic. How can it be that the mic sounds so bad on my iphone but on other devices is ok? Could be app dependent? Codec? Or something simple like how they sit on my head?
So I can send them back to Amazon for a refund, or to Shure for a repair, or of course keep them. I'm not sure they're actually faulty, and I really want to keep them given how much I like the audio quality (and price), but boy the mic & ANC quality...
Any ideas or tips! Thanks
