Stay hidden in the elements with Master and Dynamic’s Greene Street headphones

Add as a preferred source on Google

Picture this: It’s colder than a yeti eating frozen spaghetti. You’re perched 15 feet up in the nook of a dead tree, waiting for an elk that might never show up. Finally, it appears, then runs off as the rising sun glints off your shiny chrome headphones. Curses! Time to find something more suitable.

With Master and Dynamic’s new Greene Street Collection, launching alongside the company’s A World Apart holiday campaign, matching your camouflage to your headphones has never been easier! Impress your hunting buddies– the sartorially inclined, anyway — with a pair of Master and Dynamic cans in one of three dashing new colors: Black, olive, and camouflage.

Tthe Greene Street Collection adds two new colorways to three existing sets of Master and Dynamic headphones: The noise-isolating MH40 (olive and camo), the excellent MW50 (olive and black), and the top-tier MW60 (olive and camo). The associated campaign, A World Apart — see video below — features a character in a full ghillie suit traipsing through New York City, bringing a decidedly military/hunting aesthetic to the urban jungle.

 

Each of the three headphones are outfitted with premium cowhide leather for bands, ultra-soft lambskin for cups, 45mm high-performance neodymium drivers, and stainless steel in between. Both the MW50 and the MW60 are wireless, while the MH40 features heavy-duty woven cables for maximum durability.

In addition to the new colorways, Master and Dynamic is bolstering its holiday campaign with a New York-based pop-up shop (the company’s first ever retail location), which will take place in SoHo on Black Friday (November 24) through the end of the calendar year. The relatively young audio brand (launched in May 2014 and headquartered in Manhattan) doesn’t just limit itself to headphones, either. Earlier this year, Master and Dynamic introduced a high-end wireless speaker — the MA770 — boasting proprietary materials, a unique form factor, and an ultra-premium price point.

The new headphone colors are available now via Master and Dynamic. The Buy Now , the Buy Now , and the Buy Now . All three headphones are also available in silver, black, and brown variants, among other options.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.
Google TV applications on the Sony A95K TV.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
