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).

John Lithgow doesn’t think playing Dumbledore will be ‘that hard a job’
The actor thinks it will be a good final chapter for his long career
John Lithgow in The Crown

The Harry Potter series has its Dumbledore, and John Lithgow is going to get a steady paycheck for the next decade. Lithgow, who is no stranger to playing legendary Brits both real and fictional, recently appeared on the SmartLess podcast to discuss the role, and suggested that he didn't think it would be a particular challenge.

"You know, Dumbledore, he's kind of this nuclear weapon," the actor said. "He only goes off very, very occasionally. And I don't think it's gonna be that hard a job."

Starz on Prime Video

There are plenty of great shows worth watching on Starz, but the streaming service can seem like an unnecessary add-on, especially if you're already paying for a bunch of others. Prime Video is making the decision to try Starz out a little easier, though, by offering a subscription for just $1.99/mo. if you're already a Prime Video subscriber.

That subscription deal will get you three months at that price, and then the service will renew at its normal price of $10.99/mo.

5 must-watch shows like Adolescence for your next binge
These shows evoke some of the same feelings as the Netflix hit
The cast of Adolescence.

Adolescence has become a phenomenon since it first debuted on Netflix and with good reason. The series, which is told over four episodes, tells the story of a young man who is accused of killing a classmate, and how that crime ripples across his family, his school, and his own psyche.

Each episode of the series is filmed in a single extended take, and they all have a radically different focus. As the show unfolds, though, you realize that its core mystery is not whether this young man actually committed the crime, but what might motivate a young man to attack a classmate in the first place. It's a riveting, brilliant series.
