Between on-ear, over-ear, and in-ear headphones and buds, it can be difficult to sift through the mess to find a pair of headphones that are really, actually good. A pair that won't bum out once the battery gets low, or lose its connection while traveling, or rip out of your phone when you put on your coat. Master & Dynamic's MW60 wireless over-ear headphones make it easy.
They're truly reliable. And truly wireless.
Many wireless headphones are ultimately a pain. They can't hold a connection, they don't have great sound quality, or they don't hold a charge for longer than an hour. But the MW60 has perfected things to avoid all of those frustrating user experiences, making it easy to listen to music in the times when you need it most—like commuting or traveling. And of course you can listen with the included cable if the battery needs a charge.

They're comfortable.
Perfecting the size, shape, and weight of an earcup is an art. Many sit on uncomfortable places on your ear, making for a less-than-comfortable listen. But the shape of the over-ear fits comfortably, and the soft leather is flexible; whatever your ear size, it won't ever rub or be too tight on your ear. (Plus, you know, they sound great.)
They're Damn Good Looking.
One of the most indisputable details of the brand's headphones are how good they look. Many modern headphones have awkward shapes, and bulky packaging. Master & Dynamic's accessories look more like an extension of your outfit. Use them for work, for play, and for travel. They won't let you down.
