Our quick take

Master & Dynamic MW07 - 4.5 / 5

Tortoiseshell to match your sunnies

  • Handcrafted acetate  IPX4 splash proof Stainless steel charging case

  • Best in-ear headphones: The top wired and wireless earbuds to buy

Solid connection, middling battery

  • Bluetooth 4.2, aptX Quick-pairing/20m+ range 3.5 hours playback between charges 14 hours total use (inc. battery case charging)

Blown away by bass

  • Custom 10mm Beryllium drivers No EQ customisation

To recap

The combination of striking design and head-rattling bass make these wire-free in-ears worth talking about. The asking price is rather high, though, and there’s no app for EQ customisation. But we think the sound is up there with the best.
