Shure expands Aonic portfolio with new headphones and earphones
By Editor 5 months ago
Shure introduces the new generation of its ever-growing portfolio of AONIC earphones – the AONIC 3 Sound Isolating Earphones, the AONIC 4 Sound Isolating Earphones and the AONIC 5 Sound Isolating Earphones.
Each model is said to have been developed for specific needs. The new AONIC lineup is said to offer first-class sound and absolute reliability, no matter where you are – whether in the home office, on the way to work or just enjoying music.
High-resolution sound for individual listening experiences
The new AONIC earphone line is based on decades of experience in professional audio. They offer superior sound quality, unique comfort and durability. Sound Isolating Technology reduces ambient noise by up to 37 dB. All AONIC earphones have a detachable cable, so you should be able to quickly switch between wireless and wired operation thanks to the separately available True Wireless Secure Fit Adapter (189 EUR). With this adapter, all Shure Sound Isolating earphones with a detachable cable can be used over a Bluetooth connection. The AONIC 3, AONIC 4 and AONIC 5 models come with a detachable earphone cable with 3.5mm jack for interference-free phone calls and direct connection to laptop, iOS and Android device.The AONIC 3 earphones are said to be based on years of experience with legendary musicians. They are said to offer rich full-range sound with a single balanced-armature driver with bass reflex port. The AONIC 3 are said to deliver clear, natural sound in Shure’s smallest earphone design and are said to be inspired by the classic shape and performance of the Shure E4 earphones. The slim and compact design is also said to be perfect for listeners who want a smaller in-ear format. AONIC 3 is available in two colors (black and white) for EUR 215. A limited edition bundle with AONIC 3 and True Wireless Secure Fit Adapter is available at a promotional price of EUR 379.
The AONIC 4 earphones are the first Shure earphones to feature dual hybrid drivers – a combination of a dynamic driver and a balanced-armature driver – as well as a unique sound channel. The hybrid driver design is said to provide dynamic bass response and detailed, extended highs with precise, clean instrument reproduction and transparent vocals. The AONIC 4 earphones are available in two color options in a two-tone design (Smoke Gray + Black, Smoke Gray + White) for EUR 319. A limited edition bundle with AONIC 4 and the True Wireless Secure Fit Adapter is available at the promotional price of 489 EUR.
For listeners who want a cinematic audio experience, the AONIC 5 earphones are said to deliver outstanding spatial sound with precise, natural bass response from three high-resolution Balanced Armature drivers. They feature two dedicated woofers and a separate tweeter for extended highs, a warm midrange and precise, natural bass response. The frequency response can be adjusted with removable sound tubes for full control over the sound experience. Three unique sound characteristics are available: balanced, warm and bright. AONIC 5 aims to be a continuation of the legendary design of the Shure SE535 Sound Isolating earphones, and has the premium customization features of the SE846 Sound Isolating earphones (for review). AONIC 5 earphones are available in three color variants in two-tone design (Transparent, Red High Gloss + Transparent, Black Matte + Transparent) for 529 EUR. A limited bundle with AONIC 5 and True Wireless Secure Fit Adapter is available at the promotional price of 689 EUR.
The AONIC 3, AONIC 4 and AONIC 5 earphones complement the existing AONIC series to create a comprehensive portfolio for all needs.
Performance, durability and reliability have long been key attributes of Shure’s portfolio,” said Matt Engstrom, senior category director, global product management at Shure. “We’ve tailored the new AONIC models to meet the needs of today’s music listeners – audiophiles, commuters, casual listeners and more. For our latest innovative earphone line, we’ve combined Shure’s detachable cable design and outstanding sound quality with a modern industrial look.”
