ShureAONIC 3 Wired Sound Isolating Earbuds, Clear Sound, Single Driver with BassPort, Secure In-Ear Fit, Detachable Cable, Durable Quality, Compatible with Apple & Android Devices - Black

I was looking for wired ear phones that don’t sound “tinny” or the usual lacking any bass and the Shure Aonic 3 just fit the bill. I saw a positive review in one of the popular hi-fi magazines and thought I would risk the purchase. They were delivered on time and I eagerly plugged them into my Surfans F20 Hifi mp3 player and was very pleased with the first time play. In-ear fitting is a bit fiddly but the numerous foam ear pieces supplied meant they are comfortable to wear. Outside noise isolation is satisfactory. I found that bass is more evident than on cheap earphones so looking forward to playing my music collection. A handy storage case is supplied as well and offers protection when not in use. These are not cheap but they make listening to music a pleasure.

I like these. Pretty natural sound, pairs very well with the DAP I have & has excellent mid tones & crisp highs - something lacking in many IEM.I swapped out the cable for something more robust & tangle free & I'm very happyEasy to fit & with enough tips to ensure that everyone finds one to fit comfortably. They don't cause listening or ear fatigue as I've found others to do.

Wow. They are pure gold IF YOU SET THEM UP PROPERLY. When i first got them, I hear them and it was seriously tinny.... the bass wasn't there and neither were the highs. So I immediately put them back in the box and was going to return them. But a friend told to me to play the genre of music you will listen to in the earphones at medium volume for 5 hours. So I did and they sounded a lot better. Then he told me to get an equaliser. So I did and made a preset for a bit more bass. And the fit is perfect for medium to large ears. And I found the foam tips work very well and isolate most of he sound. But the triple seam tips isolate everything and work a treat. They are actually very nice to lie down with.Highly recommended

Had these for a few months and they failed, Amazon replaced FOC . Second pair failed within 2 months so I returned for a refund. Sound quality was OK but lacked Bass however was quite detailed. Would not purchase again and probably not worth the asking price. I chose these because SHURE products are generally of good quality but not this time..

Superb sound and extremely comfortable fit.I have this paired with a Fiio M11s audio player, and also use the Shure TW2 wireless adaptors and the sound is extremely good. Only negative is that I do need to crank the Fiio up to almost full volume, but the sound is incredible.Only thing that sometimes annoys me is the wire, or the TW2 adaptor, and the way they go over the ear. Can be a bit fiddly, but the reason is clear as to why as it helps create a perfect seal in the ear, so they are comfortable and sound great.Definitely go with the Foam tips that they supply as the Foam creates a better seal than the silicon tips and the sound is improved as a result

The fit is snug and does isolate outside noises extremely well but the price for this is extremely painful ears. Just too uncomfortable for more than an hours normal use. Also the cables are heavy and tug at your ears and the buds with walking.The quality of the sound on my iPhone SE is highly disappointing. First there's the volume, we'll lack of. On full volume they're at maybe a third of the level of normal buds. I tried using a high quality amp between the buds and phone and the headphones just distorted. Leading me to believe they just can't handle normal to higher volumes at all.Secondly there's no bass. No really none. What traces there are of bass is a muddy all over the place mess.The mids are ok, not great, not bad either.The highs are very good and quite special with tons of detail. Saying that some very high highs do cause a weird sort of hissy distortion like the buds are rattling inside.To summarise, they're great at about 1/4 of the hearing spectrum, rubbish at about a third if it and average at the rest. They're superb at isolating external noises but painful and the cable is too heavy. The buds are far too intrusive for everyday use and the volume at max is a joke - way too low.I really wanted these to be special and tried hard to give them a chance. So disappointed with them I had to get a refund, which is something I haven't had to with any electrical good for years. At £50 I'd be annoyed, at £150 it's quite sad.

Very well made earphones that once fitted, are very secure. The rotating cabling is of high quality and remains tangle free with a little care. The earphones with their multiple buds make a very good job of isolating external sound and are very efficient at preventing the music escaping to annoy others (even when used loud in bed at night, without disturbing my wife).The sound is extremely clear with good separation between instruments. Be aware, these earphones are really clear sounding, using these with poor quality recordings or low bit rate mp3’s will show up the recording. But, play a well recorded 320kbs mp3 or Flac file and they sound beautiful. The balance between frequencies is even without a peaky range although the bass while remaining detailed, can sound a little light when playing some bass heavy music. I find that a moderate lift with the 31Hz slider on my equaliser compensates well.Would I recommend them to a friend? Yes, providing they are aware that these quality earphones need a quality source. Would I buy them again? Yes, unless I could afford the more expensive SE425 or SE535 Shure’s.
