Hifiman HE1000SE vs Shure Aonic 50

If it is not obvious already, I personally happen to find that 1-star rating to be the most unjust rating of any headphone I have seen, which is why I am adding my own 5-star rating to support this headphones.

If you're thinking of picking one up to audition, do not hesitate to do so, and let your own ears be your guide.

I would recommend the Sony WF-1000XM3 as it is likely exactly what you are looking for with the sound but there are issues on Apple devices regarding connection (while there are none for Android devices).

You need to get the Spinfit CP 360 or foam tips to make them work though (stock tips are terrible). Once you get a good fit, ANC is fantastic
