BLUETOOTH MODE 🥵
Heyo king!!
eyyy Mate!!
Wonder how the 1 Grit would feel about these.
Scarlet

Fire !
That DankPods plug was absolutely selfless! Made my day!
Ohh my pkcell
Me fucking too the 1 grit can finally become on brand
We love to see it
I nearly skipped on this video thank you!
Ooooo the sexy speaker~
DankPods shoutout was amazing!
The word about the “Sexy speaker” is getting out there. Hope we all soon be hearing “power on, auxiliary mode, Bluetooth mode” with this perfect voice.
Glad to see Dankpods getting a shoutout. His content is awesome.
Ohh my pkcell
Agree lol I die every time he shouts oh I need some AAA s haha
Heck yeah
No man he is overhyped he is content just got boring
@@haissamali oh my sausage
Love seeing Dankpods get some recognition from such a large channel, he's the whole reason I'm into audiophile gear today!
Dankpods and Crinacle are both great and helped me upgrade from my M50Xs to a set of HD650s with a proper DAC/AMP
@@Clone895 You mean the hurdo six hundroes?
@@mrfourtwenty6082 by ol mate senny
hell ya my man!!!!! everyone plz LOOK THIS GUY UP.
Dank 4 life
I love the shoutout to the Aussie who got me into high end audio! But to see him work with the company that got me into a higher level of electronic knowledge, it’s a dream come true!
The dank
Frank!
the excitement i get when i see anything audio related on here is unexplainable and i love it
Hearing the assistant's "sexy speaker" voice I expected it to say "bluetooth mode"... I watch too much Dankpods.
I think I remember this brand being directly compared to the AirPods Max when they (the former) first came out. Also, hopefully the next set of AirPods Max use USB-C.
I don't recall hearing any rumors but I'd imagine new AirPods Max should be announced soonish
I really hope that a newer model wont be so freaking heavy. The Airpods Max in their current form are so uncomfortable to me because of their weight.
@@gingerman5123 Probably not this year, but the only rumors I immediately recall were lossless audio & USB-C.
aslong as it has wireless charging, i could care less about which usb port it has. same for the phone.
Maybe also with a better codec
It’s funny how much effort these guys have put into that airplane plug. I don’t fly very often but it has been a WHILE since I’ve been on a plane that wasn’t a standard headphone jack lol.
old school airplanes got the weird connector.
Been like 2 decades. Even on older planes their interiors eventually get refreshed.
Planes around here have moved past screens and plugs altogether and expect you to have your own phone or tablet.
I think when I last flew there were no headphone sockets at all, if you didn't have your own device for the flight you could rent an iPad.
Referencing Dankpods and not using "Scarlet Fire" to destroy those headphones, c'mon guys!
one thing i like about masters and dynamic is they haven't gone down the path of touch controls for their products which is really really nice because touch controls on devices that are right next to your ears or even in your ears can bad/annoying
I work with audio every day and have a pair of the MW65s. I DO NOT recommend you buy from M&D.
They sound amazing. The MW65 have beryllium drivers and sound better to my ears than any headphones I've had, and are actually worth the price from that perspective.
The build quality seemed great with aluminum and lambskin, again, worth the price if you want premium finishes.
The problem is that they pass the wire connecting the left and right cups through an exposed hinge in your headphones. A design flaw. Every time you adjust, put on, or take off your headphones, the wire is chafing in this hinge. This means every set of headphones has a very limited lifespan before this wire dies and one ear stops working.
This is a proprietary wire that passes more than just a channel of audio because of their noise cancelling mic array, and repair shops cannot do anything. I've tried four pro audio shops. Beyond this, M&D refused to help and couldn't supply parts to either myself or the repair shop.
If you want a gorgeous pair of amazing sounding headphones that have a year and a half ish until they're a paperweight, buy these. Otherwise AVOID.
This comment needs to be pinned ASAP.
I snagged the MW50+ for £55 as John Lewis here in the UK had them on clearance down from £280 and I really like the M+D sound. Mine come with over-ear and on-ear pads that you can swap, so I'm good for any type of listening. The style and comfort are next level, and I don't need ANC so they suit me fine. I love them but I doubt I'd have paid near the full price. Definitely good sound but with a style focus, but then again they are based in Brooklyn!
Master & Dynamics have never been a serious competitor in the market unless you like paying 3 times the price they deserve
very true
I must say, Adam has revved up the shortcircuit channel. Ever since his appearance on the mac for gaming video (The first one I saw at least) he's been a quirky and integral part of the main two channels. Keep up the work!
I hate him, so glad someone likes him lol
@@pickitupgolf276 He is my least favourite as well, hard to watch. I guess its the permanent sarcastic smirking.
@@erikheijden9828 I don't watch if he's in the thumbnail.
I'm not sure what it is, but I really don't enjoy watching videos that he's in. James, Riley, Linus, and Anthony should really be the only hosts in rotation
@@pickitupgolf276 He always looks sad or disgusted...
Love seeing Adam and the other new faces on the channel lately. Great vibes, great advice - great hires.
I don't care much about music and headphones but I do enjoy watching Adam's reviews. I can't comment on how knowledgeable he is, but he's definitely someone who is "into this stuff" and so builds on a lot of experience. He's a bit of a nerd, so to speak, and I love it because he's reviews are sometimes chaotic as he jumps between topics but it's still a pleasure to watch. Let me be clear: none of this is critique... don't change a thing Adam!
with the wireless adapter you can choose to only flip up one of the 3.5mm poles, notice that its not dual mono (dual mono has only 1 black ring), but dual stereo. this is how you would use it with consoles or any regular stereo 3.5mm jack.
(however the adapter on the actual website is 1 mono and 1 stereo, which makes sense but it seems that MD has redesigned it since this video was made)
Thank you for the DankPods shoutout, I really enjoy his content and I love that he's working with Floatplane! His drum streams kick ass.
Ikr. They’re awesome
DANKPODS REFERENCE LET'S GO
Can't believe DankPods got a random shout out
This is not a fashion brand though they look awesome. These are proper audiophile cans unlike pods, Bose and Sony. When you plug the cable in to a high fidelity source , you get the real deal. That’s why this price . It’s a two in one for those who can afford
Ive had the 65's for a couple years now. And I loved 'em, held up through a lot of stuff other cans didn't. So Im very tempted to grab these at some point.
Really wow some of the critics like durability on on cushions coming out held me down from buying them.
@@alexsmith1207 Never had that issue. On the 65's they were mounted not magnetically attached, but maybe I just got lucky.
Is it just me or is this video sharper than the others? It looks like they've really nailed the focus on that one! Like 100% accurate. Or maybe they used another camera(?)
I think it's the shirt and the texture off it
I think it's a really good product for the target audience. It's a fashion item that doesn't completely suck. So if someone rich doesn't care about top-of-the-line features and really likes the design, this could be for them 😅
The Dankpods plug was well warranted
I'm happy to see Linus and Luke doing videos together again. Great content as expected!
Hahahaha
I have the “old man bose” headphones and I quite like them for work.
seeing him comment on DankPods and including the sexy speaker talk was unexpected but lovely
As he was saying how sexy the voice was he held it up to the microphone and an Arby's commercial started playing with the deep male voice
Can you find a pair of headphones with similar quality sound or near to the sennhiser 800s headphones but being wireless and having anc?
Scuffed Luke
I would love to see a review of the Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2 headphones. Would be a good comparison to the other Bluetooth headphones you've reviewed.
Different class of product, but I hope they look at the Meze lineup when they get LTT labs up and running. I love my Lirics! They were extremely expensive, but the bass extension with the wide(ish) feeling soundstage while being a decent sealing closed back is amazing!
Crinacle runs a channel and has covered several Mezes.
Personally I found the Meze 99 Classics to be too bass-heavy. Even with EQ, they still made music feel "wrong." I now use Sennheiser HD650s with EQ, and they sound amazing
@@Clone895 Personal preference, the 99's bass is really weak for my taste
Wow I was literally just watching linus tech old videos now I can watch this :0 :)
Thumbs up for Steely Dan!
Looking at the packaging, these seem to be heavily inspired by the Beoplay HX - though the M+Ds are more expensive and look worse in my opinion
I got the MW08 and I gotta say with all the negativity (they are heavy) and they turned out well, even in the GYM. The sound, the battery is no match!
Getting these before end of the year. M&D is strong player. The only other ones I would consider are KEF MU7 as equal.
Love that you shouted out Dankpods.
I got a pair of $150 Sennheiser and they had that hissing sound when ANC was on and only made sounds in the background "crisper". I spend more on some PXC 550 II and they were so much better. No hissing when ANC is on and I forget the air conditioning is on.
Theres currently little to no software for bluetooth 5.2 only the chips themselves. So if a company wants to implement that then they have to write the whole shebang themselves. This is why even though the chips have been available for 2 years almost very few products come with Bluetooth 5.2.
I'm a massive fan of Dankpods, and these headphones look awesome. not sure if I'd buy them, but definitely nice to know there's premium options out there.
Try a tone generator app. You can make all the frequencies and noise levels on your phone while playing content on the laptop to see what the noise canceling removes. Or doesn't.
Literally Linus and Luke’s love child. It’s not even a stretch…
Really curious about these vs the PX7 S2
Adam watches dankpods hell yeah
I dig that flannel. Where can I get the same one. Google lens couldn't find the exact one.
What’s the frequency response graph of these headphones?
You guys need to also review the Bang & Olufson H95. They are the main competition for these headphones
Should do V Moda! I almost bought these but went VModa instead. You can customize the color and designs on them as well its pretty sweet
I tried them and they actually impressed me as a audiophile. The low/bass has that bite and full rounded signature, it's a great sound quality, and to top it all off the durability. Like everyone tastes not too much treble, nor too much bass. It's one of our most rated consumer headphones actually, and should I say the most happiest alongside Sony except i give the edge on durability to the VModa
@@alexsmith1207 The durability aspect is what drew me in as well. Didn’t wanna have to worry about babying my headphones LoL
I give point to style but I don't prioritize it over sound quality. Also, I used to fly a lot and starting to again and it has been years since I have been on an airplane with the dual plug.
Huge respect for pointing out that, while they are great, there are equally great options out there for half the price.
Not for the sound. The problem with M&D is poor app support. They're flawed in features. Usually dealing with connectivity issues, or basic apps that aren't feature rich.
These would be beryllium coated drivers. The only full beryllium drivers I have seen are in the $2k+ focal headphones.
Beryllium coated and fully berylium are not the same
When do u guys plan on reviewing/unboxing the Samsung G8?
I’m pretty heavily led to believe that Louis Vuitton had M&D retune the MW07s to be bassier because the standard version from M&D are respected for their rather close to flat frequency response.
this dude should review more stuff
They look really cool. If the sound quality is good then it's worth it.
What the....where are Dan and James? Those two are the only ones from LTT who should be doing unboxing on audio related products
Replaceable earcups are nice, but the problem is that many companies like Astro (a50) don‘t deliver any parts…
Most of the airplanes I’ve been on recently had a regular single headphone jack. I wonder if it’s a regional thing.
The UGreen 100w USB-PD chargers often don't work. They don't report 100w capable and have the tendency to charge by going on-off-on-off-on-off (you'll hear it if you have a device that makes a noise when the charger is connected). Couldn't keep my Asus Rog laptop charged for an hour while gaming, while a 65watt charger could keep it above 50% for a few hours.
It's just one product of course (I have UGreen 65watt chargers for tablets and phones around the house which work nice), but still a warning. Also, I wasn't the only one with issues from the Amazon reviews.
Now I want Dankpods to do a video on these
I can't remember the last time I was on a plane with the weird 2 prong audio port. Do any airlines still use them?
Oddly enough the business class for American all use the dual prong for their entertainment systems
Is there a link to the simulated music album??! I really dig it. Got those H. Jon Benjamin doing jazz type of vibes I really enjoy.
These are headphones for people who don't want the best, they want the most expensive.
There is a market.
Unfortunately...
There are many headphones in the $2k - $5k prince range.
@@corndog9482 Oh, I'm sure, but those might be super amazing and capable headphones, while less stylish and pop culture "posh" than something like these headphones.
It's kind of like when Beats Studios released, they were all the rage, everyone had to have them. Meanwhile, they sounded so so at best, and they had absolute terrible build quality. (mine basically disintegrated within a year)
Most expensive can also mean "that I can afford".
@@CaidicusProductions "but those might be super amazing and capable headphones, while less stylish and pop culture "posh" than something like these headphones."
Actually, no, mate. I mean, of course, every headphone is going to have their target audience, own styling and 'looks', just as they're going to have their own sound signatures, but go take a gander at brands such as Focal, HiFiMAN, Meze, or even the discontinued Oppo headphones. If you're talking about more business/travel/wireless oriented headphones with NC, there are brands such as B&W, Harman Kardon, and B&O, which all have that 'posh' look you're talking about.
@@corndog9482 ok dokie.
I'd take the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 over these.
I got so happy when you mentioned him I don't know why. I'm just glad he got a shout out
For this kinda price I wish you would have done more on audio quality IE better source also maybe compare to audiophile headphones at the price point
Happy w/ this regards i aint looking for a new one, id be going back
I'm still waiting for LTT to review the Yamaha spatial headphone YM-L700A they have.
Dat Intro! Love it 🤘🏼
Folks will forget that Bluetooth adapter in the plane.
wish i had this video last night, its like digital nyquil
i remember when i got the m50xbt how upset i was about the digital voltage artifacts you could hear in one ear. not ok in an audio product at pretty much any price point
Loved the nail polish on the perceived "man"
This is the first time I’ve seen this dude on camera. He’s awesome!
I'll add another comment, because it's kinda unrelated to the previous one, but I so wish that more bluetooth headphone manufacturers, including Bose themselves, would steal what Bose did for multi-device pairing back when Bluetooth didn't support just having multiple feeds and switching based on which one was playing audio. Back then, you could use the switch on the outer face of the earcup and push it up to cycle between the connected devices. I used this feature so much on my on-ear Bose bluetooth headphones, because I'd rather it just give me manual control over what I was connected to rather than just glitch out when it can't determine what it should be playing audio from. Just give me manual device switching so I can switch it between my computer and my phone without needing to unpair and re-pair with the one device I want to connect to at that time, because, quite frankly, bluetooth multi-device simultaneous pairing just isn't up to snuff yet. Maybe it works flawlessly in the Apple ecosystem, it honestly wouldn't surprise me in the least if they'd figured out how to make that work like magic, but in the 3rd party space, it just isn't good enough by a long shot. So just let ME choose what I want to connect with.
They look amazing,design wise
That hissing sound might came from the Bluetooth module. Try disconnecting Bluetooth and see if the noise is still here.
About 3 years ago I was on a flight where a dude got all pissy with the cabin crew, cause he couldn’t connect his AirPods with the in flight entertainment system… I bet he would like these headphones.
would love to see a comparison between these, B&O h95, and airpods max :)
Something I missed was talking about the Mic (you might've, while I zoned out). I was burned on the Sony WH-1000 M3 because reviewers (which this is not, but still) either didn't mention (it, or) how absolute crap it is, or lied by saying it was either decent or good.
It's bad. Mics on TWS earbuds/headphones are always bad. That's why you heard reviewers say that it was "decent" or "good" for the sonys, it's because it's being assessed relatively speaking.
I want Sony MX5s (mic, noise cancelling, app) to have a three-way baby with Arctis Nova Pros (business / online meeting use, features, hide-able mic) and Mass Drop Pandas (sound quality). I'd definitely pay $600 USD or more for that. Make them rain proof and OMG, it's the holy freaking grail. Especially in the age of remote work, open seating arrangements in offices, and business travel, there are a ton of people who make good money who would consider this a business tool that fit their personal lives as well.
The pads are larger than another of their, I think mh40s?
went with Bang & Olusen H95 for my new headphones . like 800us
When Linus and Luke do the fusion dance for a Short Circuit.
Omg there is a worse deal than the AirPods Max
Best Buy seems to be carrying the AirPods Max at $499 rather than $549.
For about half this price you can buy a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pros. I know that these serve a totally different purpose, because they’re portable, Bluetooth headphones, but with the leftover money you could then also nearly buy a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 35 IIs which are very good portable, Bluetooth headphones. I don’t see how these headphones could compete with that combination and I think they’re expensive for the sake of being expensive.
YAAAAH MORE ADAM
7:10 Man, I love dankpods. That guy is amusing AF.
Does d brand sell laptop skins that show the insides like the phone skin I didn't know that
I really like the design of these headphones!
If people are buying shit like this with their money they are part of the problem in this economy
@@nightwing8666 I brought the AMG 75 AND LOVE THEM
At that price point I'll just buy the HD600 by ol mate Senny
And get something like the BTR5 to make it Bluetooth.
Edit: Also the Drop 6XX is pretty much the HD600 for less money (in case someone didn’t know)
The Aussie edition EFM Toledo has a new rival apparently
These headphones interest me because they actually look nice unlike the airpods which are just not offensive. I think for then to really get that status of "look at me I have money" they need to be a little bit thinner so they are a bit more flush with your head. But I have no idea what those adapters you pulled out were and it seams way to expensive for the price point unless the audio is just worth that price. Also the hissing is awful for me but I've had issues with 2 sets of airpods and 1 set of pros and it was always a deal breaker. I've also heard that dankpods had a issue with hissing on his pros which was a deal breaker but they aprently sorted it out for him (they did not try sorting anything out for me with the normal 2 Gen airpods)
Case is stupid though. The company is interesting and if they get their stuff together it seamsblike that can be the top company for style while still caring about audio quality. But right now it seams like their getting 90% of the way on a lot of stuff. Example: the headphones look amazing, but they need to be a bit thinner. They sound pretty freaking good, there's a hissing issue. They are really nice quality, there super expensive.
Was happy to catch Steely Dan on the phone screen
I got their first ever product: MH40, that’s something! Shitty sound but best headphone craftsmanship I have ever experienced, it makes my HD800s feels like cheap knock-off
what's this case made of? felt? touches it, now it is
