Master & Dynamic adds Lamborghini editions of its best headphones

By Simon Cohen April 17, 2023

Master & Dynamic (M&D) sees itself as a high-end, boutique maker of personal audio products and in keeping with that vision, it often collaborates with other high-end marques like Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, and Leica. Some of those partnerships, like the one M&D has with Lamborghini, have lasting appeal so the two brands are back with their third collaboration.

You can now buy Lamborghini special edition versions of M&D’s current flagship headphones: the over-ear noise-canceling MW75 ($649), the in-ear noise-canceling MW08 Sport wireless earbuds ($399), and the MG20 wireless gaming headphones ($499).

All three models have their own distinctive take on the Lamborghini brand, with the MW08 Sport and MW75 taking a sophisticated approach, using silver and black metal accents, while the MG20, in true gamer fashion, echoes the electric green color scheme that has been known to make an appearance on Lamborghinis like the Huracán.

From a materials and features point of view, the Lamborghini special editions are identical to the regular version of these headphones, with one exception. The MG20 gaming headphones normally use a matte-finish magnesium for the earcups, with a matching faceplate, but the Lamborghini edition uses sapphire glass for the faceplate, which is now adorned with the Lamborghini logo against a green and black background.

M&D’s reputation as a luxury audio brand has clearly been noted by Hollywood. Fans of Succession may have spotted a pair of M&D MW08 earbuds in a supporting role in season 4, episode 2 of the hit HBO show as Kendal Roy attends to one of his many conspiratorial phone conversations.

Kendal appears to be a Mercedes loyalist, but you never know — now that a certain patriarch is dead and gone, perhaps the Roy scion will be adding a Lamborghini to his stable of vehicles, along with a matching set of MW08 Sport.

Sony’s acquisition of Audeze is a little baffling

Sony is acquiring Audeze, a U.S.-based maker of audiophile-grade wired headphones, IEM-style (in-ear monitor) earbuds, and gaming headsets. But in a weird twist, it's not Sony's electronics division that is doing the deal. Instead, it's Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) -- the division that oversees the company's gaming portfolio including the PlayStation 5 console. The terms and cost of the acquisition haven't been released.

Beyerdynamic adds noise canceling to its Blue Byrd neckband earbuds

While most of the attention these days is on true wireless earbuds, it's easy to forget that some folks much prefer the older neckband style for its simple convenience and longer battery life. Beyerdynamic clearly hasn't forgotten. Despite launching its first true wireless earbuds in 2022 -- the Free Byrd -- the company is continuing to develop its original Blue Byrd neckband-style buds with the introduction of the second-gen Blue Byrd ANC ($149).

As the name suggests, the new earbuds have active noise cancellation (ANC), a feature that remains fairly rare in the neckband earbuds category. You can buy them now from Beyerdynamic or Amazon.

Bluetooth headphones have been on planes for 10 years, so why do I still need a cable?

United Airlines passengers are about to get a big upgrade to their in-flight entertainment (IFE) experience over the coming years thanks to its purchase of 300,000 IFE systems from Panasonic Avionics. The new seatback systems are wildly better than what we’ve been used to, sporting large and colorful 4K OLED screens, USB-C charging ports, spatial audio support — and a feature that seems almost old-fashioned by comparison: you can connect your Bluetooth wireless headphones.

United’s upgraded Boeing 787 and Airbus A321XLR aircraft won’t be its first planes with Bluetooth, but the fact that it's a feature the airline felt was worth calling out is a stark reminder that Bluetooth -- a wireless audio technology that has been around for about 25 years -- remains a rarity on airplanes. This is despite the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) got over its long-running fear of the tech in 2013 when it overturned its previous rules about portable device use and effectively gave airlines the green light on going blue.
