Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)

Shure Aonic 40 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Shure Aonic 40 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Shure Aonic 40 ✓
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Shure Aonic 40 sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Lowest Frequency
Audeze Mobius
10Hz
Shure Aonic 40 20Hz
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Shure Aonic 40's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Audeze Mobius's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Shure Aonic 40 got a juicier bass than the Audeze Mobius
Highest Frequency
Audeze Mobius
50000Hz
Shure Aonic 40 20000Hz
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Shure Aonic 40's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Audeze Mobius's highest frequency is at 50000Hz, this implies that
Audeze Mobius got a clearer and crispier treble than the Shure Aonic 40
Driver Unit Size
Audeze Mobius
100mm
Shure Aonic 40 40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Shure Aonic 40 driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Audeze Mobius driver unit is 100mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Shure Aonic 40 by 60mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Has A Neodymium Magnet

Shure Aonic 40 ✗
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Audeze Mobius have this type of magnet.
