What does "ships within 24/48 hours" mean?

In a nutshell, ships within 24/48 hours basically means that your product will be shipped out or dispatched from our warehouse within 24/48 hours after placing the order. It also indicates that the products are readily available at our warehouse and once we receive your order, we dispatch it out at the earliest either on the same day or the next working day depending on when you’ve placed your order.


What it does not mean:

A lot of our customers assume that it means their order will get delivered to them within 24/48 hours, but that’s not what it means. For an order to reach you, it can take anywhere up to 3-4 business days, depending on which part of India you are placing an order from.

I love products that put you in the driver's seat of your audio journey. These specialised headphones come equipped with sophisticated, customisable tuning capabilities that let you adjust every aspect of the frequency spectrum. Think of it like having a personal audio chef who can adjust the recipe to your exact taste - more bass for your workout playlist, clearer mids for podcasts, or sparkling highs for classical music.

Why it Sounds Amazing

Balanced Armature Driver

Enjoy accurate and precise sound 🎯, because every nuance in your favourite music deserves to be heard with perfect clarity! I believe balanced armature drivers are like "precision instruments" that excel at reproducing intricate musical details. These incorporate tiny yet incredibly precise mechanisms that deliver audio reproduction with exceptional detail and accuracy. Think of them like Swiss watchmaking for audio - incredibly small, incredibly precise, and engineered for perfection in every detail.


The compact design and efficient operation allow them to excel at reproducing intricate musical passages with outstanding precision and control, revealing every subtle detail and gentle texture 🔬.


When you see "🔈 Balanced Armature Driver" products, expect microscopic detail retrieval that reveals every subtle musical nuance with exceptional precision and clarity.

Flat Sound Signature

I tend to describe a flat sound signature as the “studio monitor” of headphones—what goes in is what comes out. 🎚️ There’s no added flavour or colouration; it’s a true-to-source representation. Audiophiles and sound engineers who value neutrality and precision often gravitate toward this kind of tuning.


Here’s what’s actually happening: the entire frequency response is tuned to be as even as possible, so bass, mids, and treble are all balanced without any emphasis. This makes flat-sounding gear ideal for critical listening, mixing, or mastering, where accuracy matters more than excitement. But for casual listeners, it might feel a bit “boring.” That said, a well-done flat tuning can reveal the soul of a song like no other. 🎧

Crisp Vocals & Instruments

Vocals and instruments sound so good, it's like a warm hug 🤗!


I believe that when vocals are reproduced correctly, they should feel like the artist is performing right there with you. These headphones demonstrate exceptional prowess in reproducing clear, articulate vocals and instruments, with each element rendered in stunning detail and separation. Think of it like having front-row seats to an intimate acoustic performance where every breath, every string resonance, every subtle inflection comes through perfectly.


The natural timbre and tonal accuracy create an engaging presentation where every nuance is preserved while maintaining fatigue-free listening. Each word, note, and subtle inflection is reproduced with outstanding definition and emotional connection 🎤.


When you encounter "🍿 Crisp Vocals & Instruments" products, expect vocal excellence that brings you closer to the emotional heart of every performance.

Sharp & Precise Details

Are you a lover of sharp and precise details 🔍?


I believe that detail retrieval is like having audio superpowers - suddenly, you hear things in familiar songs that you never knew existed. These premium headphones are meticulously engineered to deliver remarkably detailed and precise sound reproduction, capturing every subtle nuance with exceptional accuracy. Think of them like high-resolution cameras for your ears that reveal the finest textures and micro-details that most headphones simply miss.


The carefully tuned drivers and advanced acoustic design ensure even the most delicate musical elements are reproduced with stunning precision. From the gentle brush of a cymbal to the subtle resonance of acoustic instruments, these products capture and present every sonic detail with remarkable accuracy 🎯.


When you see "📌 Sharp & Precise Details" products, expect extraordinary detail resolution that reveals new layers in familiar recordings with stunning clarity and precision.

Perfect to Analyse Music

Delve deeper into intricate musical layers 🎼!


I believe that some headphones are like musical microscopes - they reveal details and nuances that most people never even know exist in their favourite songs. These specialised audio tools are meticulously engineered for those who seek to explore the deepest intricacies of sound, offering exceptional precision for detailed music analysis. Think of them as detective tools for music that help you uncover every hidden element in complex compositions.


These products enable you to dissect and examine every aspect of the musical landscape, from subtle instrument textures to precise timing, from delicate vocal overtones to intricate harmonic layering. They're specifically crafted for musicians, producers, and discerning audiophiles who desire profound insights into technical and artistic elements 🔬.


When you encounter "🔍 Perfect to Analyse Music" products, expect analytical precision that reveals layers of detail and musical craftsmanship you never knew existed.

Layered and Nuanced Sound

Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.


This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.


When you see "🍰 Layered and Nuanced Sound" products, expect intricate soundscapes that reveal the depth, complexity, and artistry in your favorite music with exceptional clarity.

Needs Amplification

I tend to say this when a headphone or DAC just doesn’t wake up unless it’s got some real juice behind it. Think of it like a sports car that needs the right kind of fuel—without enough power, it won’t go anywhere near top speed. Some gear, especially those with high impedance or low sensitivity, demands a dedicated amplifier to reach its full potential.


Here's the trade-off: these headphones or IEMs may sound underwhelming straight out of a phone or laptop, but when paired with proper gear, they transform dramatically. You get tighter bass, better control, and improved resolution.


If you’ve got a power-hungry planar or a studio-grade headphone, investing in a portable or desktop amp will unlock nuance, dynamics, and depth that you’re otherwise missing out on. ⚡

Wow - super quality and extreme value

This is a marvel. The key to unlocking its hidden potential is choosing different ear tips. In my case the yellow foam ones, along with the dark nozzles have transformed these into a warm & musical earphone but amazingly with all the details intact. It is exactly like listening to what people describe as a high end tube amplifier - smooth rounded edges, wide soundstage, and all the details and nuances.

The transparent nozzle reinstates the treble sparkle and crispness for when you desire that and thats the amazing value of this, its multifaceted and multicoloured. It doesnt get much better than this.

Hey Prateek, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! It means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you are loving our products and services.

A worthwhile upgrade from SE535

My SE535 gave up on me last week, and after reading a few reviews, I decided to go for Aonic 5. I have not used them for much time but my initial feeling is that this is a worthy successor to SE535. Sound quality is excellent, noise isolation is much better than SE535 (I am using the default foam tips), bass is nice, as is the general sound quality. It definitely has deeper bass than SE535 and this is just after initial run and not after they have been burnt in. These look nice and fit in nicely. The wire is just the right length for me. I am very happy and will like to test with all the nozzles to see how they change the sound. I recommend these IEMs to anyone looking for nice and comfortable earphones. I just hope these last longer than my SE535 that went kaput in two years.

We're really happy that you have such great thoughts about the product and thanks for the amazing review!

Bright sounding pair - Go for these

This will be a long review. I own several pair of flagship IEMS, notably Campfire Audio Solaris 2020 and Polaris V2. The Shure Aonic 5 is a new addition to my collection. My review is based on the the first few hours of wearing & listening to them

Ergonomics

These pair sit snug in your ear canal. I am using the stock foam ear tip and it does a pretty good job of sealing out the ambient sounds & providing a good noise isolation. The IEMs are very light and there is no wear fatigue. The cable is pretty good but could have been better around the ear contour, which I find to be rather rigid. It needs some shaping up before it moulds into the right shape. Only that you have to do it again the next time you wear them.

Sound

Decent sound stage but narrower than the Campfire Solaris but broader than the Polaris v2. the default sound is very neutral. Bass is well controlled but a just little subdued with the default filter. The mids and highs are brilliant and bright with just the right timbre and no sibilance. I tried on the base filter as suggested by most of the reviews. However I switched back to the neutral stock filter for the simple reason that the Balanced Armatures work the best with a neutral filter. I found the bass filter to subdue the brightness of the mid / highs. I rather default to the Solaris / Polaris if I need more bass punch. These earphones are made to dissect the sounds, so I highly recommend to leave the stock filters on. I didn't try the treble filter though.

This will be my go to earphone for daily use as it can be driven easily and there is no need for special hardware. I have paired it with my Sony NW A55 in Bluetooth Receiver mode linked to my Iphone 12. They sound very good.

Overall a very nice pair to add to your collection. You can go for Aoinic 4 if you are a bass head. Highly recommended. the shipping from Headphone Zone was same day as ordering and I received them the next day. Thank you HeadPhoneZone for world class packaging / shipping & timely delivery.

Hi there, we are so happy you took out time and elaborately reviewed the product. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better and informed decision.

Shure - AONIC 5

Prateek Saini (New Delhi)
Impression changed on longer listen

Update - Although the bass is very anaemic (even with dark nozzles) but the Aonic 5 still has punch from midrange, which makes beats sound good. The sound is otherwise natural, especially timbre with no sibilance or harsh frequencies due to a good roll off past 10k. Don't let that seem like a problem for Detail Retrieval though. It is exceptional. Very very Susvara like, running from the same Burson Composer & Soloist 3XP.

OG Review - Wholly Analytical No fun. Tiny sound from a tiny thing. All details are heard. But it sounds stupid. This is not music. Its not natural, by a long way. Treble quality is poor. It sounds stressed & forced.

We really appreciate the genuine feedback, we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well!

Aonic 5 - More than a jack of all trades

Having tried and being impressed by the SE535 earlier, I was curious about the Aonic 5, especially since it has the concept of swappable sound tubes / nozzles like the SE846. Like most people, I too assumed that the Aonic 5 was just a repackaged SE535 in terms of their sound. But that is certainly not the case. The tuning of Aonic 5 is quite different from SE535. There is a lot more presence in the lower end of the FR. While SE535 had natural sounding bass (with hardly any rumble), the Aonic 5 in it's stock configuration (Reference filters) sounds a lot more fun. With the treble filters, they're a lot closer to the SE535 IMO.

The plethora of tips is useful and I personally found these to be quite comfortable with comply P100 tips (all 3 sizes included in the package). The bundled RMCE-UNI cable is the best MMCX mic cable that I have used till date. All in all this is a very versatile IEM that can easily adapt to different genres of music and different amps and sources by just changing the sound tubes / filters.

HI,
Thank you for the incredibly detailed review, hope it was a comfortable shopping experience. Cheers!
