Shure AONIC 215 Sound Isolating Earphones (Clear)

The sound quality of these is good. I have listened to a variety of music styles from 1950’s cool jazz live records to some avant-garde electro music from Japan and a lot in between. The 215’s are good allrounders that faithfully reproduce a wide variety of music styles. The bass is certainly not overwhelming, if you want artificially enhanced bass, these are not for you.I believe there is now a wireless version of the 215’s. The wired 215’s are now harder to find and have dropped significantly in price since I saw them last.Sound isolation with the 215’s is very good. Just make sure you replace the ear tips for the correct size for your ears. The 215’s come with several sizes of ear tips, I had to swap for one size smaller.This set allows the cable to be ... MoreThe sound quality of these is good.

The 215’s come with several sizes of ear tips, I had to swap for one size smaller.This set allows the cable to be disconnected. I guess when you pull the cable by accident it will not break but just come out of the sockets. This also means if you break or damage the cables, it can be replaced.This version of the 215’s has a microphone and volume control in the cable. There is a selector switch that allows you to use these with iPhones and Android phones. The remote high up on the cable, I cannot see the remote when I wear the set. Some people may like this, I prefer the remote further along the cable.The 215’s are “In Ear Monitors”, ie IEM’s, and are would be good for that. They are well built, have good passive noise insulation and sound quality is good. Just be aware these are meant to be worn “over the ears”, similar to the temple tips of eyeglasses. There is a bendable part that can be molded to suit your ears. The cables are meant to run down your back, so when you play an instrument it’s not in the way (I guess this makes sense for the location of the remote). Compared to conventional earphones these are harder to put on, but when they are on they won’t move.I personally recommend these wired IEM’s.I recommend replacing the ear tips with Comply foam tips, which in my experience further increase sound quality and wearing comfort. The tips in the box are OK, but not nearly as nice as Comply. (Some Audio Fly IEM’s I own came with Comply foam tips – something for Sure to think about.)At this price I give them 5 stars.

Best I've used & fits inside full face helmet comfortably for 6 hours!

Wow! They claim these earbuds will last 8 hours on a charge. & they do! But even better is the sound, comfort & ease of use. But the highlight is a thing called "environment option", which automatically activates when pausing. It renders the outside sound levels as such that it seems you have taken them out, as any other earbuds would require for conversation. Awesome!

Crisp Sound and a comfortable fit

I got these to replace an old pair of Bose headphones that weren't working any more. The newer Bose don't stay in my ear when working out so I was looking for something with good sound quality and a sturdy fit. These meet and mostly exceed all of my needs with out issue. I love how crisp the sound coming from these is. I never realized what i was missing out on. Sadly this comes at the loss of the low end bass.Overall they are very easy to use and to connect to the phone. They also have great Bluetooth range. Phone calls with them are also very smooth. I look forward to using these a lot going forward.

Crisp Sound, Secure Fit

I love the sound crispness these earbuds put out. i thought i had decent earbuds before this but hearing these i realize how wrong i was. While the bass these put out is weak which is a bit disappointing hearing the differences in sound is great.The noise cancelling leaves a lot to be desired. The bluetooth connection is very quick and painless.My other favorite part is how secure these earbuds feel. While they take a while to put on, once on they don't come out no matter what you are doing so they are great for exercise. They also have phenomenal range with me being able to leave my phone inside and still get sound when 30 feet away. The battery life is also good with me never having to worry about recharging them during a work day. I also like that they are ... MoreI love the sound crispness these earbuds put out. i thought i had decent earbuds before this but hearing these i realize how wrong i was.

The only control you lose then is volume.

I am SO In-Love With Shure Aonic 215, Gen 2

2nd Review - Follow-upThese buds are AWESOME for the Mid-range price point.The Charging capability is great with a bulleted battery indicator on the outside.My biggest problem would be making sure the buds were snug in my ear to avoid friction when listening and to get the full sound of what's playing.The fact that the buds go around the lobe allows you to walk around/move knowing they aren't going to fall to the floor and get damaged like a few other brands that just pop in the earThere is a nice deep sound when your ears are fully emerged! The buttons are customizable for YOU!D/L the app to get more listening options.I Shure am happy with these Buds!

Losing these was crushing

I absolutely loved this headset, and when I lost the pair I owned, I immediately ordered another pair.Hard to overstate how useful these are for phone calls. The microphone is fantastic for blocking out ambient noise, and people often think I'm sitting in an office rather than walking outside. The variety of earbuds is really helpful, and with the right size earbud the fit is really comfortable.#sweepstakes

Love them! Great sound!

I have used Bose earbuds for 2 years and I thought I would be a customer for life. These Shure earphones are amazing!Pros:I love the way the ear piece fits into my ear. It is very comfortable and there are many sizes and styles rk choose from.I love the noise cancelling and the fact that people can hear me And not the background noise.The battery life is really great. It will last longer than you expect and charged very fast.Sounds quality if far superior to Bose which shocked me. It is amazing and I love the touch controls. Very easy to use.Cons:The case is HUGE! I don't like it at all. I can see plenty of improvement needed here. This isn't a deal breaker.I do not like having to use both hands to put these on. I guess some people can get them on to fit but ... MoreI have used Bose earbuds for 2 years and I thought I would be a customer for life.

I guess some people can get them on to fit but I can't. Maybe it's just me. I don't like that fact thought especially when driving.The deal breaker for me would be being able to wear glasses and the earphone fit comfortably. It does not and I just get so aggravated with them. I will say that my complaints are asthetic and not an issue for some.I would definitely recommend them but be sure of fit if you wear glasses.I used them for music, podcasts, and talking on the phone. They work great when walking for exercise.

THE BEES KNEES

These are like meatballs to my pasta! Like bananas to a monkey! Cheese to my macaroni and the bees to my honey!Speaking of honey... honoree... let me just tell YOU! They charge like nobody's business. Except for mine. It's my business to charge them but it's so fast. Like Flash... only maybe one less motion than Flash. Not like Green Lantern at all... because let's be honest, nobody liked the Green Lantern movie. Even when we all love Ryan Reynolds, we all agree ... he should have left this one out.Back to the headphones, did I mention the soft feel of them? Better than a new baby's bottom... and no dirty diapers to change either. The silicone feel outside makes them easy to slip in my delightful ears and get ready to rock. Or roll.

I like to be all-inclusive.Sounds are amazing! I'd say Madison Square Garden only in your living room, while you enjoy it from the peace of your own quarantined home until we all can go back to normal. These are the next best thing.Now, go get you some. Buy 2 they're small. And let's be honest, someone you know is going to say "OMG! Can I borrow those?" And you know it's like when you used to loan your DVDs or your best sweatshirt... ya not gettin' back.

These are the bomb!?

At first it was a bit tricky trying to figure out how to put them on my ears and change out the cushion thingys. Once I got them fitting in my tiny ears comfortably it was a magical experience! The sound quality is incredible. I love that I can walk around the house/work out hands free and be able to relax with some tunes. They are so light you forget you're wearing them. Took a bit to train myself how to use the buttons to change the sound/ song/answer call. They make it super simple once you memorize which ones to click. I can't say enough great things about them. The charge has lasted up to par. The case charges them while they are stored away. Highly recommend!

True Wireless, Great sound, Better with application

Having used different wireless headphones in the past I wasn't sure if I was going to get anything different from these. I love the sound quality and comfort but I didn't expect the Shure app to have so many great features. The ability to control the e.q. or do my own custom one is fantastic! I also loved the idea of the environment mode where if I'm out riding my bike or going for a walk I can still pick up on the sound around me for safety. I was truly thankful that they didn't just have the standard rubber earbuds but the nice comfort expansion foam kind to help with noise cancellation. All around quality product combined with a great application.
