Master & Dynamic adds Lamborghini editions of its best headphones

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.

AptX Adaptive vs. aptX HD vs. LDAC: Which Bluetooth codec is the best?
Man wearing KEF Mu7 wireless noise-canceling headphones.

When it comes to Bluetooth codecs, most wireless earbuds and headphones will support AAC and/or aptX (in addition to the standard SBC codec that all devices support). These three codecs differ in how they compress the audio that travels from your phone to your headphones, but they all have one thing in common: They only support a bit depth of 16 bits. That's enough resolution for most kinds of audio, and many experts believe it's enough, period.

Not everyone is convinced that hi-res audio actually sounds better, but if you've got access to a source of lossless, 24-bit music, whether from your own personal files or from a streaming music service, you may want to consider buying a set of buds or headphones that can support a Bluetooth codec designed to deliver that extra level of detail. The three most common 24-bit compatible codecs are aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and LDAC.

KEF takes a swing at Bose, Sony, and Sennheiser with its first wireless ANC headphones
KEF Mu7 wireless noise-canceling headphones.

KEF, the British audio brand best known for its high-end speakers, has launched the Mu7, its first set of premium, wireless noise-canceling headphones. They're priced at $400 and come in two slightly different color tones: silver gray, and charcoal gray. For the moment, they're only available at KEF's website.

The Mu7 are very distinctive, with a design created by Ross Lovegrove, who collaborated with KEF on its first set of wireless earbuds, the Mu3. In fact, the Mu7 look like a scaled-up version of the Mu3, with a similar smooth-oval shape for the earcups and plenty of aluminum used throughout the headphones. The design mirrors other high-end wireless headphones with a fold-flat set of hinges, but KEF only includes a carry "pouch" instead of the nearly standard zippered carry case.
