I own more earbuds and headphones than I'd like to admit, including the older Aonic 50 gen 1, and these Shure 50 Sonic Gen 2 are my top pick for in-home use when neutral sound quality (across all genres), solid connection, and comfort are my top priorities. Pros: - Sound quality is fantastic, and accurate across ALL noise cancelling settings. (check out the SoundGuys review for recommended EQ chan Jer N · shure.com
