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

Nick Hastings

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 MH40 cost $399, the MW50 cost $449, and the MW60 cost $549. All three headphones are also available in silver, black, and brown variants, among other options.

Master & Dynamic MW08 earbuds feature exotic materials and hybrid ANC for $299
Master & Dynamic MW08

Master & Dynamic (M&D) has released its latest set of true wireless earbuds, the $299 MW08. They look just like the company's previous two true wireless models -- the MW07 and MW07 Plus -- but the MW08 boast highly polished ceramics and stainless steel, which makes them much more durable, according to M&D.

They're also the company's first true wireless earbuds with hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC), a system that uses an internal and an external microphone to help cancel out sounds. They're available starting March 30, in four colors: Black ceramic/matte black stainless steel, white ceramic/stainless steel, brown ceramic/stainless steel, and blue ceramic/graphite gray stainless steel.

Apple AirPods Pro vs. Master and Dynamic MW07 Plus
master and dynamic mw07 plus review ry 6

Apple's AirPods Pro seemingly came out of nowhere in October 2019, offering the kind of powerful upgrades and shockingly improved sound we hoped we'd get with the second-generation regular AirPods. (Instead, we got a wireless charging case, and not much else.)

There's no doubt the AirPods Pro are an awesome new option in an increasingly compelling wireless earbuds space, but they're far from the only game in town. Master and Dynamic's acclaimed MW07 have also stepped up big-time, adding noise canceling and massive battery upgrades among other new features. Below is a head-to-head comparison of these two highly regarded (and high-priced) earbuds.

Master and Dynamic’s first headphones reborn as the MH40 wireless

It's been five years since Master and Dynamic burst onto the headphone scene with its gorgeous and smooth-sounding MH40 over-the-ear cans. To celebrate that milestone, the New York City-based audio company has released a fully wireless version of that iconic first product: the $299 MH40 Wireless.

The MH40 Wireless aren't just the original MH40s with a Bluetooth chip, though M&D has retained many of the MH40's most notable features. The retro-aviator look that was so instantly recognizable has been preserved in its entirety, and the same high-quality materials like stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and lambskin are all here too. However, the MH40 Wireless are a lot lighter (276g vs. 360g) despite having an internal battery, and they use a new set of 40mm custom drivers to achieve their sound quality.
