To recap
The Master and Dynamic is an expensive pair of headphones. But you get a great look and comfort as a result of design and materials. They’re great sounding, too, while the ANC is effective. However, the main competition is considerably cheaper: Sony and Bose’s big-selling ANC cans cost a little less, but their build quality isn’t a patch on the M and D, if it’s the kind of style you’re after.
