The versatility of the semi-open Master & Dynamic MW50+ is certainly convincing. Included accessories definitely impress, while aesthetics, choice of materials and the quality of manufacturing are all up to discerning standards. Handling is also user-friendly, while the fit is exemplary. What’s more, Master & Dynamic’s proximity to the New York art scene has obviously had an effect on the development department. Freethinkers don’t want to be restricted when it comes to on-ear or over-ear decisions, so the option of both from the MW50+ is definitely welcome.
In terms of sound, two sound signatures are on offer, each with distinct character. With ear-covering cushions, the headphones produce a much richer sound, while providing overall enhanced volume and better isolation from external noise. If ear cushions are used, the sound is much more muffled. In either case, the MW50+ stands for powerful reproduction with detailed mids and high treble. The Bluetooth function of the M&D is easy to use, convenient and does not demonstrate any noticeable sound differences when compared to cable operation. The only real drawback is the low isolation from the outside world if you’re on the go with the MW50+, especially if you’re in a busy urban environment with a higher volume enabled. The bottom line is the Master & Dynamic MW50+ is an extremely versatile headphone, showing few weaknesses and offering plenty that will make sophisticated audiophiles very happy when it comes to listening across all genres.
Master & Dynamic MH40 Wireless are hi-fi Bluetooth headphones with rich basses and a warm sound character. To put it bluntly: These headphones are in LOUD! in Bluetooth mode, and are excellent for the enjoyment of music from genres with a powerful sound, such as dance, pop, urban music, metal and alternative. Reliable Bluetooth connection, easy operation, high-quality materials and workmanship, excellent technical values, high wearing comfort and chic design make these wireless headphones a strong purchase for those looking for a solid piece of audio technology on the go – provided you like the bass-rich basic character of the MH40 Wireless are willing to compromise on high-fidelity sound.
The Master & Dynamic MW08 are true wireless in-ears that impressed us with their chic design, long battery life and short charging time. In addition, two different noise-cancelling modes are available, but their effect did not seem very pronounced in our practical test. Operating these headphones is child’s play and offers additional features via the free “M&D Connect App”. But most importantly: the MW08 sound really good. From impressive low bass to detailed mids and open-sounding highs, these in-ears deliver listening pleasure. In short: listening to music is fun with the Master & Dynamic MW80, from EDM at full volume to classical music at moderate volume.
