Interview with Jonathan Levine - CEO of Master & Dynamic
Master & Dynamic announced their new MW50 headphones back in November, but they were here at CES showing them off in a suite and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to check them out. They have the same industrial design elements and premium materials that you’ll find throughout the M&D line-up, ranging from the metal build to the plush lambskin leather.
The MW50s have Bluetooth 4.1 and aptX so you can stream higher quality files from compatible devices. Battery life is spec’d at 16 hours and these are Master & Dynamic’s first pair of headphones that charge via USB Type-C. In our interview with CEO Johnathan Levine, we asked him if he would ever consider dropping the headphone jack in favor of an all type-C pair of headphones, and his response made it clear that the company currently has no plans to do so. Good news if you’re a fan of the headphone jack.
