Master and Dynamic’s New Headphones Provide the Perfect Urban Camouflage

When you’re commuting to work or caught in the hustle-and-bustle of downtown, sometimes you just want to tune it all out. Master and Dynamic can help you out — the noted New York-based audio company just released three new headphones with top-notch sound quality and stylish colors that look at home in the city or the great outdoors.

Our brother site, Digital Trends, sums it up perfectly: “The Greene Street Collection adds two new colorways to three existing sets of Master and Dynamic headphones: The noise-isolating MH40 (olive and camo), the excellent MW50 (olive and black), and the top-tier MW60 (olive and camo). The associated campaign, A World Apart … features a character in a full ghillie suit traipsing through New York City, bringing a decidedly military/hunting aesthetic to the urban jungle.”

A World Apart

The fabric on the bands is premium cowhide, but your ears will enjoy lambskin on the cups. While all three pairs — the MH40, the MW50, and the MW60 — have a similar aesthetic, they have distinctly different functionalities: the MW50 ($449) and the MW60 ($549) are wireless, but the MH40 ($399) still has trusty cables. Keep in mind that the brand also offers these same headphones in a variety of colors, including black, silver, and blue.

Interested in a pair? Those of you in the Big Apple can hop on over to Master and Dynamic’s first-ever retail location. This convenient pop-up shop in the SoHo neighbor will open just in time for Black Friday (November 24) and run through the end of the year.

While relatively new — Master and Dynamic only hit the scene in 2014 — the young company has already branched out from headphones to home speakers. You can check out a review of the MA770, the brand’s wireless speaker, over at Digital Trends (or, if you’re in the market for something flashier, these Klipsch speakers might do the trick).

Paul Giamatti in Black Mirror

Black Mirror started its life as a niche science fiction anthology show on Netflix, but the British series expanded its reach and popularity as the episodes started to blend into contemporary world issues more and more. It's no secret that the world we live in keeps getting scarier, whether that be due to the upheaval in politics or the uncertainty of artificial intelligence and climate change altering our world forever. Good TV's ability to mirror real life makes it culturally relevant, and it leaves fans craving even more of it.

With fans waiting patiently to find out if Black Mirror season 8 will be greenlit at Netflix, there are several alternatives that you can check out after finishing season 7. Not all of these series are as daring about social issues or crafted in the same way as Black Mirror, but all of them have the same sci-fi principles that make the storytelling unique. These are the best shows like Black Mirror to stream next.

Not every movie on Netflix is worth your time, but the streaming service definitely makes plenty of movies that are worth seeking out. Havoc, which hit the streamer on Friday, is one such movie, and part of the reason it's worth seeking out is the extraordinary talent both in front of and behind the camera.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the movie follows a detective who must track down a politician's son in the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong. As he climbs deeper and deeper into the criminal underworld, he begins to appreciate just how much corruption he's facing and kills a lot of people along the way.
