It’s tough to top yourself when the last product you debuted was a floating speaker. But three years after setting the bar quite high with its flying saucer of an audio device, Crazybaby is back to impress its customers again. Its latest product is the Air by Crazybaby (Nano), otherwise known as the Air (Nano). With more than three weeks left in its campaign, these new headphones have already smashed their original $50,000 funding goal by more than 1,000 percent, as over 6,200 backers have pledged nearly $580,000 to bring these wireless earbuds to market.

This is not the first set of headphones to come from Crazybaby’s portfolio. The company launched its Air headphones in December 2016, but the new Air (Nano) claims to combine the latest in technology with Crazybaby’s uniquely creative aesthetic. The new earbuds are splashproof, and claim to make use of carbon nanotube technology for acoustic purposes. Plus, the Nano features the newest CSR chip, which claims to be the latest in Bluetooth technology, so that you’ll always stay connected to your smartphone. Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, the NANO is Bluetooth 5.0 ready, and is said to have 12 hours of battery life for listening to music, or 16 hours of talk time.

“Air by Crazybaby (Nano) sports a new spin on our classic design, with a range of vibrant colors to suit every style, offering everything you’d find in Air by Crazybaby at the very best value,” said Allen Zhang, Founder and CEO of Crazybaby. “We’re excited to introduce the Air (Nano) at a price point of just $99, making this technology even more accessible to all, as we continue to push the boundaries of wireless personal acoustic devices.”

The charging capsule doubles as a sleek case for the earbuds, and supposedly, you’ll get 90 minutes of use out of just five minutes of charge when you’re pressed for time.

Available in a slew of colors including black, white, red, purple, pink, Matte Gold, Austin Yellow, Morandi Blue, Atlantis Green, and Volt Green, these new headphones certainly look to be catering to just about any style. But hopefully, the common denominator is quality.

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

master and dynamic mh40 wireless headphones mh40ws2 flat

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.

Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3 vs. Sony WH-1000XM3: Premium headphones shootout

New Sennheiser Momentum Wireless vs. Sony WH-1000xM3

Now in their third iteration, the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless have racked up something of a cult following, with fans swearing by their design, features, and sound. But how do they compare to an industry favorite (and our current pick for not only the best wireless headphones of 2019 but also the best noise-canceling) like the Sony WH-100xM3? Let's find out.
Design
While both the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless and Sony WH-1000xM3 models offer simple, elegant lines, the Sony model takes on a more utilitarian exterior. The headband is lighter and covered in plastic, and the outside of each earcup is coated in soft leather. The headband is thick, the earpads are plush, and the overall aesthetic is a pair of clean-looking headphones that seem purpose-built for serving your comfort and musical needs, rather than matching your outfit.
