Headphones come with a large carry case which is firm to the touch and protects the headphones. The lid of the case contains a quick start guide which is housed in the lid itself. The headphones are very light and flexible, and can be twisted into a r... Read More
Despite how big the headphones are, they are very lightweight and don't press tightly on my head or make my ears ache. The frame is sturdy and hard-wearing, and the earpads don't flake. The headband is very well padded for good levels of comfort and t... Read More
Shure's aonic 50 are a fantastic sounding pair of noise-cancelling headphones. They fold in towards the headband with the ear cups laying flat inside the case.
The dt 990 pro has a very good build quality and great portability. The treble is very clear and well balanced. The booklet is very well spaced and easy to read.
Cons
Think glockenspiel in the corner of the orchestra, not dj dave. Only setting that remotely reduces anything is'max', and that adds the loudest hiss i've heard on any active noise cancelling headphones. Shure market it as adjustable noise cancellation.... Read More
The app itself is simple and it doesn't do an awful lot. Hmmm, they really need to look at the competition's apps. The build quality is really poor.
The app didn't recognise the set were already paired. Just pair with one device and then manually enter pairing mode to pair the second device. It is annoying that the included digital cable is usb-c to usb-a, as a dongle/adaptor is still needed for c... Read More

In terms of sound the shure is straddling these camps and more or less successfully incorporates sound characteristics from both even though by their very nature the dt 990 and hd 600 are a bit like matter and anti matter in that certain characteristics cant coexist in the same place at the same time

Switching anc on improves the bass noticeably and combined with a narrow deep bass boost via the shure play apps equaliser i could bring the mid bass to a good level however unfortunately the eq only applies to music files played through the app and not streaming services

I could also get a satisfying bass response by driving them wired while powered on so while the shure clearly has the potential to be a great sounding headphone the current implementation means it doesnt fully satisfy my tastes for my typical wireless streaming use case
