Among a stacked collection of commercial noise cancellation devices, Shure's AONIC 50 Gen 2 headphones are nothing short of revolutionary. The second generation of the ever-popular AONIC 50 model, these 'phones deliver the same quality and response as before with the addition of hybrid ANC (active noise cancellation), allowing you to tune in and out of your environment on a whim. The trick? Shure's MaxAware ANC setting, which automatically keeps background noise to a minimum while allowing necessary sounds to pass through — a perfect feature for workplace conversations and in settings where focus is paramount. Speaking of which, Guitarlicious audiophiles have found AONIC 50 Gen 2's to be a perfect work-week companion, as they offer up to 45 hours of use on a single charge! A simple 15-minute charging session allots five hours of use. To top everything off, Shure has included Spatialized Audio Technology, producing the audial power of a sound stage environment to be used with your favorite music, cinema, or podcast. If quality audio is a critical factor, there's no easier way to achieve it with a pair of AONIC 50 Gen 2 headphones.
