0.95 and Master & Dynamic Collaborate to Debut New Headphone Collection
Two Iconic Brands Combine Unparalleled Audio Quality and Craftsmanship to Exceed Expectations
April 26, 2017 – Exceptional imaging performance meets exquisite audio quality: Leica Camera and Master & Dynamic – the premium headphone and audio accessories manufacturer – have partnered to create stunningly beautiful and high-quality headphones for the ‘0.95’ brand.
With ‘Master & Dynamic for 0.95,’ the New York based manufacturer has collaborated with Leica on the creation of a range of three attractive pairs of headphones that fulfil even the highest expectations of audio quality and aesthetic design. All products of the collection feature the ‘0.95’ logo and are made with premium materials such as soft cowhide leather and components made of stainless steel. The refined red acoustic mesh and the ‘Designed with Leica Camera AG’ engraving underline the collaborative effort that went into this creative joint venture. The smallest details, from the knurling, reminiscent of the dials of the camera controls, to the signature red glass dot, borrowed from the legendary Leica lenses, round off the overall appearance of this design partnership.
Three models from the Master & Dynamic portfolio serve as the basis for this jointly produced collection: the MW60 wireless over ear headphones, the MH40 over ear headphones and the brass edition of the ME05 earphones.

MW60 WIRELESS OVER-EAR HEADPHONES

Every detail is considered, including 45mm (1.77”) custom neodymium drivers, exposed all-aluminum antenna for best-in-class signal range and connectivity, as well as a 16-hour lithium ion rechargeable battery.
