Shure Aonic 50 Vs Momentum 3 Vs B&W PX7 - $400 Headphones Compared 

I saw many reviews about shure aonic 50. Every single one of them said its sound quality is top notch. You are the only one who says it sounds bad....

Dude I work in audio-visual , have electrical engineering degree, and have listed to many different type of headphones. I have a pair of the Shure Aonic 50 . I don't know what you heard ,but they're one of the best pair of headphones I've ever listened. And that's including Sennheiser. Something seriously off with your review.

The Momentums already sound "fun" in their stock EQ as that already has a boosted bass level of +2db (as measured in the rtings review e.g.). Why you would want to raise their bass level even more is beyond me. Sure, there are bassheads out there that want even more than that but still... Personally, I think that when you turn up the bass even more, they don't retain their soundstage and instrument separation, which makes sense when you think about it. I like these reviews here but they are very often quite "bass centric" reviews and it often sounds like a bass that doesn't physically rattle your head is not a good bass - which, again, might be true for a certain target group but is not a good way to measure "quality" bass in any way. I listened to both the PX7 and the Momentums and ultimately kept the Momentums, as they personally just sound better to my ears. I haven't heard the Aonic 50 but would actually really like to when I get the chance as I have heard really good things about their sound performance. They seem to be fairly neutral and revealing sounding which can be a really good thing indeed. It makes sense why their sound performance is slagged off a bit here ;)

I have the shure aonic 50s. And I have of course tried the bowers and Wilkins px7 and sennheiser momentum 3. I ultimately kept the shures because they actually have all the codecs and every feature I want. Of course they sound amazing too. I have worn the shures for almost 8 hours before with not much discomfort either so 🤷

Most of the reviews i've read say the Shure Aonic 50's are among the best. I think they're geared more toward recording artists so that's probably why they sound flat to you. Because that's what real monitor speakers in a recording studio sound like as well. Not bad but accurate. If you make a mistake on the instrument you will hear it.

Great review man!!! 10 points for you!!! Many thanks 🎉

Have you considered that your pair of Shures is faulty? Soundguys says they have the best sound quality in this category and I would argue their testing is far more thorough. No reviewers besides you have claimed their bass bottoms out.

Great review! I’ve heard the Sennheiser Momentum 3 since February and I love them. I tried everything out there and they provide everything I need and more.

Definitely a basshead's review. These days, courtesy of the Aonic 40's - you now have a daily commuter option if your preference is adjustable ANC, travel convenience, etc. Aonic 50's (with aftermarket suede cups) hold a permanent spot in my bag until they're dethroned. Caveats - I could give a toss about true ANC quality. A bit of a reduction is plenty for me. Can't stand cabin pressure, and can't stand in-ear buds. But I also need a decent mic and multi-device. I prefer a flatter sound, too. Favorite Sennheiser's are the 560s, for reference.

Nice review. I am a huge fan.

I use the Shure Aonic 50s the sound in them is simply stunning.

just curious why is your channel's name GYMCADDY ?? is this somehow related to your enthusiasm to gym? Or is it a audio term I'm not aware of? does it even mean anything?

You're the only guy saying Shure sound bad, something strange here

You prefer the momentum 3 over the thx panda when it ONLY comes to sound?

Regarding the Aonic 50 - You can now save EQ changes directly to the headphones... finally!

Very enjoyable video review packed full of useful information and very well presented

I bought the Aconic's and I liked them enough to operate, the ear pads got very uncomfortable within a short amount of time. I had a pair of sheepskin pads( angled) and once I got the originals off, I knew to use the ring that the old pads was glued to, it was do or die. The operation was a success, I listened for hours their is a little more bass, but not enough to feel any regret. The choice of course is yours, I'm cool with mine.

When talking about the dual-device pairing, could you also mention whether this feature can be disabled? For example, paired to computer (desk) and phone (pocket). You decide to walk around the house doing chores and remain connected to phone (pocket) but constantly connect/disconnect to computer (desk) when you approach/walk-away-from it. Bose QC35 offers little control over this dual-pairing.

Will you be getting your hands on the OnePlus Buds?

I got the momentum 2 since 4 years now and I never worried about them just threw them in the bag with bottles or books on top and what else. Watching this video on them so I dont think you need a case at all they are verry robust.

U kinda sound really biased against the Shures

10:10 this part is false. The EQ is loaded in the phones and you can close the app and use them with other apps or divises or with a cable and your selected EQ is still there.

Please make a review on devialet Phantom Gold bluetooth speaker. There is no proper review on that speaker, and I really like your reviews

Imao in headphones important thing is sound. Anc no need if u have good passive noises isolation. Always turn off anc.

Can you do the JBL Club one NC headphones please

Sir can you make a comparison video between SONY XB 700 and shennhiser HD 350 BT cause these headphones sold in Amazon in almost around same price which is 8000 rs INR ,can you help please?

Please let me know which phone is shown in the video (during Sounds Equalizer portion of the video), it is excellent and different, in today's smartphone sea of notches and punch-holes...

im wearing glassess. which one do u recommend?

Im music quality guy more than anything. I have my IEM the KZ SA10 I've owned for over a year now bought them for £40. After watching the reviews on Momentum 3 i bought them and arrived 4 days ago. Comparing them to my KZs i think this is a scam. My KZ sounds way better balanced, crispy and best instrument separation no colouration whatsoever. Yet the Momentums for £350 they sound dull dark and the tremble is dead i mean you can barely hear it, Like what the hell man. Honestly its a let down for me and I'm annoyed.

I haven't listened to the PX7s, but the Momentum 3s sound nasty, the low-frequency emphasis masked the lower midrange, which resulted in a muddy mess to my ears. I would personally get the AONIC 50 over the Momentum 3, as much as I love how the Momentum line looks.

The aonics are disqualified for comuters but the senheisers aren't? Seriously? The senheiser case is twice as thick. Anyone who ever had a headphone case in a backpack knows thickness is far more important than just Footprint

Okay. So not the Shures. I already have the PX, PX7, and Mom3 for trial. PX have blown me away, PX7 are disappointing, as PX have much better detail, far wider sound stage, and much cleaner bass. But the Mom3's are really good, sound wise! Their bass rattles my head, but not in a muddied way as the 1000XM4's have a small tendency to, and very importantly the rest of the sound scape still plays fully under the hefty bass. I am very impressed with the Mom3's and will keep them together with my former champions the PX, who's noise reduction is actually almost on par with the 1000XM4's because of their passive filtering. Not big head approved, though, the PX.-) ThanQ for many good reviews!

Thx for my request. I will choose the px7's if i worth to choose one. Now i know i should hv requested this 1 year ago but could u do comparison between the jabra elite 85h vs bose qc35ii

You said “more mainstream options” wayyy too much. Great video though.

Can someone tell me what app he uses for music????

Just bought SHure having listened px7, momentum, xm4, c700. After Shuree they all seemed to sound a bit messy

I don’t use my headphone cases they either on my head or headphone hanger

snowchild

The momentum 3 looks dorky

Which one has more definition and what are the differences in treble / mid / bass / super bass between these Sennheiser Momentum 3 and the Audio Technica ATH-MSR7B? ¿Cuál tiene más definición y qué diferencias hay en agudos / medios / graves / supergraves entre estos Sennheiser Momentum 3 y los Audio Technica ATH-MSR7B?

The aonic sounds good but the cups don't seal well and the ANC is absolute trash. I sent them back.

I have the PX7, never tried the Shures....

Big head approved 🤣🤣🤣👏

personally I love bass and I think waaaaay too many companies don't provide enough bass in their headphones, mainly because people cry about it or are too sensitive when it comes to bass but you can always eq bass out if its ever too much! we need more bass in all headphones period! who wants to listen to a mix with little to no bass is beyond me and that's just boring!

Hi can I please have your DJI Spark fly more combo if you have one
