I originally picked up the Shure TW2 to go with my SE846s so that I could go to the gym and wear audiophile-quality earbuds. But then I noticed I could've gotten these for not much more than the regular TW2 price, and I'd get AONIC 215s for cheap. Score! I absolutely love these earbuds. Are they as good as my 846s? Obviously not. But I don't need them to be. I use my 846s for gaming and audiophile stuff; I use my AONIC 215s for working out and mowing, and they're PERFECT for this. Honestly, I think they'd be fine for just about anything, but if you're into high quality music listening, then you'd probably want something just a little better than the 215s, but that's only because I'm an audio nerd. For most people they'll probably be an improvement over what most people have been listening to music with. But, again, why I really bought these was for the TW2s, and it's amazing. Because high end Shure IEMs come with detachable wires, you can use the TW2s with anything in the Shure line-up (so long as the wires are detachable, of course). So I can switch in my 846s or my AONIC 215s depending on where I am or what I'm doing, or keep the AONIC 215s in my gym bag while I keep my 846s at home. Replacing the IEMs are super easy. Simply pull them off, snap the new ones on. No issues whatsoever. The battery life is very good. I can go about 8-10 hours on a single charge, and the case (which is VERY bulky, but they're very protective and has a sizable battery) has about three extra full charges in its battery, so you can easily go on long flights or trips and not have to worry about running out of battery. I also like the app. It's simple to use, and switching between IEM models is as simple as snapping the new ones in and then going into the app and selecting the new model. You'll have to do that because the TW2s will transmit slightly differently depending on the model, which increases or decreases the volume (and other EQ info). On that note, the app itself is highly customizable for the sound, both with many presets for higher or lower bass, treble, etc and you can also customize your own presets for your own preferences. So whether you're just in the market for entry level audiophile earbuds or if you're already a Shure devotee and just want TW2s, I strongly recommend picking these up. You get an amazing IEM in the AONIC 215s for cheap while you also get the TW2s, which you can use with any other Shure IEM (that has detachable wires). Given the sound quality and EQ options, you can't go wrong with these, and that's coming from someone who has both the entry level IEMs like the AONIC 215s and the super expensive professional/audiophile quality 846s.

I've actually never had good luck with Shure headphones. The cord somehow always starts deteriorating around the connection to the earbud causing audio to cut in and out. Still, I've kept buying them for the last 15 years because they fit and sound great. These wireless headphones sound great---but a single earpiece has twice stopped working on me. Shure charges you for shipping to claim a warranty service, so getting the issue resolved leaves you without headphones and out some additional money. If you buy these, definitely also get an extended warranty. Update: I threw these out. Avoid. Read more

Alright so it's not quite often that I write reviews but I wanted to this time because I ended up returning these iem's after a couple days...but not because they're bad. When I paired them up with my iphone and used the shureplay app, they worked flawlessly and sounded pretty great! They seemed to be really secure on the ear so if you, like most others, are going to use these for exercise, then they'll most likely do what you need them to do. However, the reason I returned these was because I didn't get them for music or exercise, I've been hunting for wireless iem's for pc gaming because I was getting tired of bulky headsets. Unfortunately, the bluetooth connection between the iem's and my pc seemed a little unstable and I experienced some audio issues (not consistently but enough to say "yeah these aren't for me"). In addition, there was noticeable latency in audio. It was just enough to bother me but im sort of OCD about that kind of thing so I tend to notice it more than others might. It was maybe like 15ms between shooting a gun in apex and hearing the audio. Granted, I know bluetooth tends to have latency issues anyway so this is probably not specific to the aonics. Bottom line is, if you're using them the way they were designed and engineered to be used, you won't have any issues and you'll probably love them. But if you're like me trying to find a solution for in-ear wireless pc gaming audio, I don't think these are what you're looking for. Read more

I have had great experiences with the Shure brand in the past. I was hoping for the same top-notch quality with these. I was specifically looking for an over the ear bud model. Smaller, in ear versions, do not seem to work well for me. I will wear these all day at work as I spend many hours on the phone with customers. Unfortunately, although the fit was very nice, the connection between the earpiece, and the over the ear battery was not very secure, and I found it detaching repeatedly and unexpectedly. The fit was extremely finicky. I had to work through all of the possible foam and rubber earbud fit combinations to finally find a blend for my ears that were absolutely perfect, otherwise the sound was horrible. After hours of back-and-forth, testing and adjusting, I can say that once the proper earpieces were used, the sound was wonderful. Having them spontaneously detach was far too annoying for me, and even though the sound quality was very nice, the amount of work required made this a set of devices I had to return. I was surprisingly annoyed at how difficult actual phone conversations were using these. After so much time working to get these to fit and sound great, phone calls sounded and felt like I was talking underwater or in a noisy closet whether transparency was on or off. I would not have been able to use these for calls regularly. Read more
