Shure AONIC 3 Sound Isolating Earphones Black

I bought a pair of these last year and have had constant problems with the flimsy cable supplied. The first time I had an issue was when the cable frayed after a couple of months. They were sent back for repair, which took a long time and lots of phone calls, only to be returned to me in exactly the same condition but with a 'complimentary' packet of foam sleeves. Eventually the issue was solved with a replacement cable, but only a few months after this they stopped working in on ear and now I am in the same position as before. I have no problems with the drivers as the sound is very good, but the cable needs serious redesign.

What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025 winner. A sensational pair of wired in-ear headphones

Great sounding earbuds, excellent value. It was worth trying out all the supplied earphone tips to find the one that will gave perfect comfort when pushed into the ear far enough to achieve the optimum sound quality, then they are easy to where for hours on end. Construction is really good, I'm confident they will last a long time.
