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.

Beyerdynamic launches new flagship wireless earbuds and headphones
Beyerdynamic AMIRON 300 and AVENTHO 300.

Beyerdynamic has revamped its top-of-the line wireless earbuds and wireless headphones with two new models, the Amiron 300 ($280) and Aventho 300 ($400). They'll be available in black or white color options when they go on sale in October.

The naming convention of the new models may confuse some long-time Beyerdynamic fans. Historically, the company has used the Amiron name to refer to its wired and wireless over-ear headphones, like the open-back Amiron Home and the wireless Amiron Wireless. However, the new Amiron 300 are the company's flagship wireless earbuds (the company's first wireless earbuds are the Free Byrd.)

Noble Fokus Apollo headphones are the first with planar and dynamic drivers
Noble Fokus Apollo.

Sony, Sennheiser, Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, Master & Dynamic, and Focal -- when it comes to high-end wireless headphones, these are the brands that typically attract those who care a lot about audio quality. But that might change now that Noble has released its first set of wireless, noise-canceling headphones -- the $649 Noble Fokus Apollo. They're available starting September 3.

Noble might not be a household name like those other brands, but it has been producing audiophile-grade in-ear monitors (IEMs) for over a decade, and many of them have earned high praise from that notoriously picky community. The Fokus Apollo are very much targeted toward this same type of buyer, with a novel combination of drivers plus wireless hi-res audio codecs.

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

Most folks go about their daily lives and never think about Bluetooth codecs. And who can blame them? Why worry about which codec your wireless headphones and/or smartphone are using as long as everything works when you hit play in your favorite streaming music app?

And yet, depending on your gear, your choice of Bluetooth codec could give you better sound quality than you're currently getting. We're going to take a look at three of the best options -- aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and LDAC -- but before we do, let's address an important caveat. If you mostly listen to lossy digital music (e.g., all music currently on Spotify) or if you own an iPhone, you can stop right here.
