We have tested a wide range of overear headphones in recent issues of icreate, in all shapes, sizes and prices ranges, but the MW60S from Master & Dynamic trump pretty much everything – they’re seriously good. And as soon as you remove them from the packaging you can just smell the quality.

Hand-assembled using the finest components, each set of MW60 headphones comprises of aluminium casings with stainless steel components. Heavy grain premium cowhide forms the exterior of the headband and earcup accents, while comfort is provided on the interiors with soft lambskin – they’re comfortable to wear with a tight seal around the cups that is very effective at blocking out exterior noise. They also come with lots of extras, such as a 1.25m standard cable for ‘wired’ connections (complete with a 3.5/6.3mm gold plated adaptor), micro

USB charging cable (of course), leather cable box, canvas cord case and a canvas headphone case.

When you start listening to music you will be mightily impressed with what the 45mm Neodymium drivers can throw out. Connected via Bluetooth, we noticed no loss of signal or distortion, even up to about 50ft and the quality of sound was rich, warm and thunderous when ramped up. With a built-in noise-isolating microphone and a 16-hour battery life, the

MW60S certainly satisfy all of the demands of the mobile music fan, all the while looking and sounding amazing.
