SOUND TOOLS FOR CREATIVE MINDS
At Master & Dynamic our obsession is the interaction between
sound and creativity. Our passion is building beautifully designed,
technically sophisticated sound tools for creative minds.
For our MW50 On Ear Wireless Headphone we incorporated the same
industry leading technology found in our MW60 Over Ear Wireless
Headphone while designing a more compact, lighter-weight model.
We are very proud of the result -- a smaller form factor with
Master & Dynamic’s signature sound quality and user functionality.

We created a rich, warm sound signature from our custom 40mm
beryllium drivers. An expansive soundscape that perfectly captures
the exceptional detail that well recorded music has to offer. Our
tuning is designed to accommodate a diversity of tastes and
musical genres.
A RICH, WARM SOUND

Our headbands are constructed with premium grain cowhide on
the exterior surface and lined with a soft lambskin. The ear pads
are made of memory foam, wrapped in lambskin, providing superior
comfort and breathability. Areas subject to heavy wear, such as the
ear pads, are built to last and be easily replaced as needed.
All high strain areas utilize stainless steel components. Our
innovative all-aluminum antenna enables maximum Bluetooth®
range, while incorporating an elegant design element. All metals
are anodized or PVD coated, not painted.

Our ability to hear is amazing. Treat your ears like the precious tools
they are, and they will continue to provide you with exceptional data, as
well as a lifetime of incredible sonic experiences.
In general, do not listen “too loud or for too long,” and be attentive to
your own ears. Ringing, discomfort, or sensitivity to high frequencies
and treble may be a signal from your ears that you are pushing them to
their limits and causing damage.
As a general practice, find what seems to be your preferred listening
level and then adjust the volume down another 10% or more.
Surprisingly, your ears will attune to a slightly lower volume over time,
and what seems quiet at first can be perfect for longer listening periods.
If you are interested in tuning your ear to have a more refined sonic
palate, there are some apps and training programs you can find online.
HEARING HEALTH AND FITNESS

NIHL is a preventable condition caused by both one-time and
extended exposure to excessive decibel (dB) levels. This harm to
sensitive inner ear structures is irreversible and people of all ages
can be affected. Damage can happen in a single event or gradually
over time. One-time exposure to sounds louder than 110 decibels
and extended exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can cause harm.
Indicators of NIHL include hearing loss and tinnitus, a condition of
sensing constant ringing, buzzing or roaring. The NIDCD (National
Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders) offers
this simple rule of thumb: avoid sound exposure that is “too loud,
too close or too long.” Here are some general references to sound
levels that occur in everyday life: refrigerator humming (45 dB);
normal conversation (60 dB); city traffic (85 dB); motorcycles
(95 dB); an MP3 player at full volume (105 dB); sirens (120 dB);
firecrackers (150 dB).
