came to pass through MW07, which is the company’s completely wireless in-ear model.
Now, as the company’s larger headphones called MW50+. And it has a property that distinguishes it from most others, namely, that the ear cushions can be replaced.
More specifically, does it mean that what follows will be both on-ear and over-ear cushions, with in the box, and they are attached with magnets, so you can easily click them on or off. On the way you can change the model according to your wishes and needs.
On-ear pads are best for when you’re carrying yourself. While the large cushions, which encloses the entire ear, offering better sound reduction from the outside and possibly better sound.

Fashion headphones
and are made of beautiful materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and leather from the cow and lamb. MW50+ actually has the same effect as Bowers & Wilkins’ beautiful PX, namely that they function as a fashion accessory on the head.
the Master & Dynamic sent his own hovedtelefonstativ in brushed aluminum to the test, which must be to emphasise here is that it is expensive premium headphones.
Several of the editors felt that the color, as the Master & Dynamic have chosen, not as elegant as some other lædervarianter we have seen. It is a matter of taste, but the fact is that the color does not look like the picture on the box very much.
Comfort is mostly good, but it definitely had not done something, if Master & Dynamic had spent a little more padding on the hovedbåndet. It is probably a tilvænningssag, but we saw that they often gnawing a little on the scalp in the test period.
In the beginning, clamps the headphones is also quite hard, but it is probably something that will go over after a while. It is the experience of the other headphones we have tested.

a Little weak magnets
than the on-ear version, as they do not put pressure on your ear, but it also had here not done anything, if there was a little more padding in them.
We believe also, the magnets that hold the pads in place, could be a little more powerful, as they fall a little too easily by, for example, if you have them in a bag or hanging around your neck. This is particularly true for the largest pads, which have the magnets inside the edge instead of on the edge and thus is more vulnerable to loosening.
the Headphones have a small button for on/off and bluetooth pairing on the left side and three small buttons on the right. These controls as similar headphones features play/pause, stemmetjeneste and volume up/down. But the buttons are very small, and it often requires an effort to find the right button.

Neutral and beautiful sound
MW50+ sounds a bit warmer and not so metallic as the cable variant, and it is a very well-balanced and refined sound, served. Just as airy as our favorites from Bang & Olufsen (B&O Play H9i, red.) they are not, but they are in some cases more accurate than, for example, Sony’s WH-1000XM3, as a unified teknologipresse has praised profusely.
If you are the type who prefer thumping bass over everything else, so you should probably find a different product. Like MW07 are limited with deep bass to download, but it is, in turn, both clear and precise.
There is admittedly a certain difference from the one pudeform to the other. The smallest pads have a more woolly and closed sound than the larger and more open version, which is not so surprising. But it puts a damper on our enjoyment of the sound, which is why we in most cases would choose over-ear cushions.
We also believe that there is missing a little air between the instruments in some songs, and it makes the vocals in some cases dropped slightly. Therefore, the fits MW50+ also best with acoustic and light, subdued music, and the little careful bass response, for example happy pop is not always as good as we know it can be.
But the model has a great sharpness in the treble, which is in balance even at very high volume. It is also a characteristic of good headphones.
It must, however, be mentioned that these headphones are leaking a lot, and it makes them not particularly suitable for use in open-plan offices. Especially if you are the type that likes to screw up. The isolates also not very good against the ambient sound.

Solid range and good battery
provides MW50+ significantly better range than average for wireless headphones. We do not know exactly what they mean by it, but we can confirm that the scope is very solid.
The special feature is that the headphones work a little like an old-fashioned tv antenna when you are not quite to the bluetooth signal edge. In order to ensure the audio connection you need to make sure to stand with the side directed toward the signal source. But here we are talking about close to 20 meters indoor, with glass walls and several other obstacles on the road. So there is no doubt that the scope is really good.
the Battery life is lit for 16 hours, and it seems like a good estimate. It is about as good as for example Bang & Olufsen H9i, but they also have active noise reduction. It has MW50+ not.
Both, however, are far behind Sony 1000XM3, which has 30 hours of battery life.
We also wish that Master & Dynamic supplied the headphones with a proper case and not just a small cloth bag. It is also a small minus that they can’t be folded, although you can flip the ear cups inward.

Conclusion
today, it is almost a standard requirement, to wireless headphones in the class offers active noise reduction and the like with the features like autopause, or the ability to tailor the sound to your ears.
MW50+ can’t do any of this. They can only play the music, and they do it well. If you are the type who believes that most of today’s headphones playing too much bass and almost populist in appearance, we think that you will like MW50+ much.
They are set to more clarity and detail than bass and commitment, and it can certainly also appreciate.
For many, we believe, nevertheless, that it will be a better choice to choose a model that can both more and costs a little less, namely the Sony WH-1000XM3.
They have more bass and not quite as well balanced a sound, but however, they have the best noise cancellation we’ve ever heard. And you will also save a good 300 dollars.
The four prominent advantages are the appearance, sound, premium materials and the replaceable cushions. It must be up to you to decide whether it is worth the investment.
the Master & Dynamic MW50+ is seen to 3190 dollars.
