If you’re lucky enough to be working at all, you’re probably working from home, likely in very close proximity to your family members or roommates.

I review headphones often enough for B&H and know what paces to put them through; I have my daily commute on the subway, my office environment, the gym, the interference-heavy labor-hood of midtown New York. An almost ideal labyrinth to put headphones through!
I was excited to get a chance to run that labyrinth with Shure's Aonic 50 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones, their first foray into a noise-canceling model. The current
