Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sharkk Aura

  • Equipped with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to reduce ambient background noise
  • Stylish aesthetic featuring an aluminum housing with gold and tan leather accents
  • Lightweight and compact build (198g) with earcups that fold inwards for improved portability
  • Offers clear audio quality with a strong bass presence
  • Strong battery life providing up to 18 hours of playtime or 16 hours of talk time on a 3-hour charge
  • Includes a detachable 3.5mm AUX cable for wired listening and a hard carrying case

What customers don't like about Sharkk Aura

  • On-ear design may exert significant clamping force, which some users find uncomfortable during long sessions
  • Built-in microphone is small and can result in hollow-sounding audio during calls
  • Headband adjustability is somewhat limited, which may not provide an ideal fit for individuals with larger heads
  • Lacks advanced modern features such as a noise-cancelling microphone or ambient sound mode
  • Charging and some connectivity standards are dated, using Bluetooth 4.0 and micro-USB rather than newer versions

Verdict

The Sharkk Aura is a wireless on-ear Bluetooth 4.0 headset featuring active noise cancellation (ANC), an aluminum housing, and a 290 mAh battery that provides up to 18 hours of playtime or 16 hours of talk time. It includes on-device controls for volume and track selection, a built-in microphone, a 30-foot wireless range, and a detachable 3.5mm cable for wired connectivity. Weighing approximately 198g, these headphones are praised for their lightweight, stylish gold finish, and powerful bass-heavy audio quality, though potential drawbacks include a micro-USB charging port instead of USB-C, a small microphone that can sound hollow during calls, and a headband design that may be too tight for users with larger heads.
