Shure AONIC 50 Wireless

The Shure AONIC 50 are a reasonable choice for office use. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day and have a solid 17-hour plus battery life, which should be more than enough to get you through a couple of days at work without needing a charge. They also support multi-device pairing, which is useful if you swap between listening to content on your phone and work computer. Unfortunately, while their ANC does a better job of blocking out background chatter than engine rumbles, its performance is still mediocre overall.

The Shure Aonic 50 headphones deliver excellent audio performance in a comfortable over-ear design, but their noise cancellation is merely good for the high price.
