Shure knows how to make a pair of good in-ear headphones and these premium buds are masters of detail and musicality
Shure Aonic 5

Earbuds | ₹ 44,999

KEY FEATURES

In-line remote control
MMCX connectors
Balanced armature drivers

Wired in-ear headphones are a dying breed, especially at the budget end of the market, but manufacturers with a rich history in this category don’t seem ready to pull the plug just yet, particularly when it comes to more premium pairs.

Take Shure. It boasts years of experience in the world of in-ear monitors and a stack of five-star ratings for its audiophile headphones would suggest the company knows a thing or two about making a decent pair. And the Aonic 5 buds prove it.

Good credentials

At ₹44,999 these headphones are the top in-ear model in Shure’s Aonic range and on paper their design credentials look suitably impressive. Most notably, they use three high-definition balanced armature drivers in a dual-woofer, single-tweeter configuration.

You can actually get a closer look at the inner working of the buds through the clear section of each earpiece. It acts as a window and makes a welcome change to the dull black plastic used to cover the majority of headphones that pass through our test rooms. The Aonic 5 are available in three different finishes, Matte Black, Gloss Red and Crystal Clear.

Each earpiece uses an MMCX connector to attach to the supplied headphone cable. This makes it easy to switch the cable out in favour of Shure’s optional true-wireless secure fit adapter which can transform the Aonic 5 into a pair of wireless earbuds. The headphone cable also includes simple in-line controls for volume and playback and a switch that allows the controls to work with either iOS or Android smartphones.
