In a world of plastic and expensive headphones, one company is doing its best to make high-quality and great sounding audio products that last a lifetime (when it comes to electronics) while looking incredible. Master & Dynamic, a New York based company, has a modest lineup of headphones from wired to wireless, in ear to over ear, where each product is designed and tuned to please the most demanding audiophiles. Now one year after M&D’s initial partnership with Leica, they have recently announced their second versions of headphones called the Silver Edition.
The Silver Edition lineup of M&D headphones pays homage to the Leica Noctilux which manages to bridge high-design with precision engineering. The look merges the looks of Leica’s iconic silver color from its cameras and lenses and the masterful engineering of M&D’s popular headphones. The latest additions to the headphones don’t change any internals or audio performance functionality, instead, they offer a unique look that can satisfy those who want a gorgeous and sophisticated look to their audio accessories. The latest additions to the “Master & Dynamic for 0.95” signature collection include silver metal / black leather MW60 Wireless Over-Ear ($549) and MH40 Over-Ear Headphones ($399), along with silver-colored brass ME05 Earphones ($199). All are available exclusively at www.masterdynamic.com.
