The verdict

If all you care about is sound quality and want to ditch the wires, Shure's earbuds sound great. Still, the AONIC 215 comes up short in almost every other aspect of what you'd want from a pair of portable buds. Listeners who want a more versatile pair of true wireless earbuds may want to consider options from Sony, Apple, or Jabra.

✓What we like

✓True wireless adapters are compatible with other Shure in-ears
✕What could be better
✕Cumbersome charging case
✕Build quality isn't what you'd expect for the price
✕No volume controls and can't skip between songs
