In this story we discuss the unique features of the MW08 Sport Active Noise-Cancelling True Wireless Earphones, including the enhanced fit, the sapphire glass from which the bluetooth earbuds are crafted and the ultra-durable Kevlar® case, which now features wireless charging.

What are the key differences between MW08 and MW08 Sport?

The MW08 Sport has the same superb sound profile as the MW08 to enhance your mood and elevate your focus while active. The product is designed with sapphire glass for extreme scratch resistance and durability, and introduces four new colors. The MW08 Sport also includes new foam ear tips, adding the option for a more secure fit. Finally, the MW08 Sport replaces the MW08’s stainless steel case with an extremely durable, lightweight case crafted using Kevlar® fiber, and introduces wireless inductive charging.

MW08 Sport is delivered with 5 sizes of silicone ear tips and 2 sizes of foam ear tips that conform to your ear shape. Can you explain when to use silicone vs foam ear tips and the benefits for each?

Foam ear tips offer a more secure fit and superior sound isolation, so they are a great option to ensure your earphones stay put while working out. An enhanced seal with your ear canal can result in improved acoustic performance as well. Silicone ear tips are easy to clean and durable, and 5 sizes allow you to get the best seal possible. These are great if you’d like tips that are quick to insert into the ear and simply wipe clean when needed.

 The MW08 Sport charging case is made from Kevlar. Can you share more about the durability of this material and why it was used for MW08 Sport?

Kevlar® fiber is an incredibly strong yet lightweight material. Kevlar® fiber is nearly five times the strength of steel of equal weight, which makes it a great option as a protective material. The MW08 Sport is designed to be taken on the go in any environment, and the MW08 Sport’s lightweight case is easy to carry and will be able to handle whatever you throw at it. Finally, using Kevlar® as a case material instead of stainless steel allows for wireless inductive charging capability, so it’s easier to charge than ever.

What kind of water resistance rating does MW08 Sport have?

The MW08 Sport earphones are rated IPX5 for water resistance, which means they are protected against sweat or splashing water from any direction. With an IPX5 rating, the MW08 Sport can endure any workout short of swimming, even in the rain. The charging case is rated IPX4 for water resistance, and can withstand light splashes of water, protecting your earphones during transit.

How has MW08 Sport been designed to ensure premium performance and enhanced fit during any activity?

The MW08 and MW08 Sport are the culmination of years of ergonomic studies on a variety of ear shapes and sizes. Master & Dynamic uses modern technology including 3D scanning and rapid prototyping to optimize the fit for the widest possible range of ear shapes. With a variety of ear tip types and sizes, everyone can find the best fit possible. Finally, premium durable materials and quality construction ensure that the earphones can stand up to any activity or environment while continuing to look and feel great.

We knew the time was right to create a luxury gaming headset, and our goal with the MG20 was to deliver the exceptional sound and design that Master & Dynamic is known for. The MG20 will satisfy both the professional and recreational gamer looking for technical performance, sophisticated style and high quality materials.

The MG20 Wireless Gaming Headphones offer a host of new features designed to optimize performance. Enjoy immersive sound thanks to 50mm Beryllium drivers and 7.1 surround sound. The MG20 also includes Qualcomm® aptX™ HD for music, and aptX™ Low-Latency for mobile gaming, and for the first time ever, an in-app equalizer in the M&D Connect app will allow users to choose between sound profiles. The MG20’s angled ear cups align to the ear’s natural shape and semi-open back acoustics create a wider, more lifelike soundstage. An elegant, detachable boom microphone provides the ultimate in-game talk clarity while an additional on-board microphone array allows for clear communication even when not gaming.

A bold expression of minimalist design, the MG20 has anodized aluminum and lightweight magnesium ear cups that create an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio for comfort and durability. The gaming headphone's sleek shape provides a sophisticated look whether gaming, working, or on-the-go. The MG20 Wireless Gaming Headphones also feature a cushioned, breathable Alcantara® headband with memory foam ear pads wrapped in lambskin for unrivaled comfort during extended gameplay, 22 hours of battery life on a single charge, and on-head detection to save battery while not in use. A low-latency USB-A adapter allows for seamless compatibility with Playstation and PC’s alike, allowing gamers to effortlessly switch between devices without having to re-pair, while Bluetooth 5.0 creates a secure connection for a 100ft/30m distance.

Originally launched in 2017, the collection now includes two new additions inspired by the iconic design and unrivalled craftsmanship of the world’s fastest aspherical lens, the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH, which reveals details that are hidden to the human eye. The collection reimagines our most sophisticated sound tools: MW65 Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones in matte black metal with black leather and MW07 PLUS True Wireless Earphones in black acetate with a matte black stainless steel charging case.

Each product borrows iconic design elements from the Noctilux lens and the legendary Leica brand including anodized aluminum with matte black finish, gloss detailing, and Leica’s signature red dot marker. A combination of durable cowhide and supple lambskin reminiscent of the leather used on Leica camera bodies and straps comprise the headband and ear pads of the MW65 Wireless Headphones, while Leica’s iconic red marker and signature knurling are apparent throughout. Outfitted with high performance 40mm Beryllium drivers, two modes of Active Noise-Cancellation, and a lightweight anodized aluminum body, the MW65 Wireless Headphones embody the uncompromising commitment to quality both brands are known for.

Likewise, the MW07 PLUS True Wireless Earphones with 40 hours total playtime also feature elevated materials: beautiful handcrafted acetate, a sleek new matte black stainless steel charging case, and custom 10mm Beryllium drivers. The red multifunction button is a nod to Leica’s iconic red marker.

The “Master & Dynamic for 0.95” collection is available here.

The new collection features MW65 Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones and MW07 Plus True Wireless Earphones, each in three new colorways. The headphones are available in Silver Metal/Light Grey/Yellow Alcantara®; Black Metal with Black/Yellow Alcantara®; and Black Metal with Black/Grey Alcantara®. Alcantara® is a vegan Italian luxury material widely used in Lamborghini interiors. The earphones are available in three colorways: Polished White with Matte Silver Charging Case, Polished Black with Matte Black Charging Case, and Matte Black with Matte Black Charging Case.

As a young boy obsessed with cars, I remember being mesmerized the first time I saw a Miura. That feeling and excitement is still with me today whenever I see a Lamborghini. To create something that initiates such a visceral response has always been my intention at Master & Dynamic.

Today we’re talking about our latest product: the MA770 Wireless Speaker. More specifically, we wanted to know about one of the most important but also most delicate parts of the speaker: the tweeter.

Today we’re talking about our latest product: the MA770 Wireless Speaker. More specifically, we wanted to know about one of the most important but also most delicate parts of the speaker: the tweeter.

So what’s a tweeter?

“A tweeter is the part of the speaker that produces high frequencies—above 3.5 kilohertz,” says Nick Slaney, our senior mechanical engineer. “It’s made out of titanium.”

Why titanium?

"Because it has to move really fast. Titanium allows us to make a dome that’s really light and thin, which is good for reproducing high frequencies. Titanium has a really high strength to weight ratio, so you can make something really thin and light but also strong. Plastic or a cheaper metal would warp and cause distortion at those frequencies."

But it’s still delicate, right?

“Don’t touch it,” warns Nick. “It’s strong enough for what it has to do, but it’s not meant to be poked.”

Our MA770 Wireless Speaker, complete with titanium tweeter, is available here
