MASTER & DYNAMIC MW60
In their words

@witty_oboe_53 · Photo-verified

Owned over 2 years · Still using it: no, stopped · Posted

They are Heavy, the headband is slim so all the weight sits in a thin band. They look cool and sound good. In the end the battery died which killed it after 9 years, and a screw fell out of the head strap.

The verdict

The MW60s are a true sight to witness at their $549 price point, with premium build quality that matches their cost. The combination of sophisticated design, premium materials, and refined audio functionality make these headphones a solid investment for those seeking luxury wireless audio.

✓Liked: Gorgeous design with premium lambskin leather and perfect metal construction details, Exceptional Bluetooth range with over 100 feet of connectivity when unobstructed, Solid sound quality with balanced bass, clear midrange, and detailed highs, Excellent build quality that feels and looks premium throughout

✕Could be better: Not snug enough on the head, with small head movements causing ear cups to flip off, Headband causes discomfort and pain at the top of head after 7-8 hours of continuous wear, Significant sound leakage that allows outside listeners to hear music, Poor passive noise isolation requiring maximum volume to block outside sounds
