Master & Dynamic has come together with the eclectic Guy Berryman, Coldplay bassist and founder of utilitarian fashion label Applied Art Forms, to churn out a take on the former’s flagship headphones. Garnering inspiration from materials found in the ’60s-era Apollo missions, this limited release is nothing short of cosmic.
The aluminum-made headphones are now doused in silver, beige, and red to bring the look to life. And while the new release’s retro-inspired flair may convince you otherwise, the MH40 is about as modern as any pair of headphones the market has to offer. The over-ears still feature quick-pairing Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with a 100-foot range and up to 18 hours of battery life — that’s practically a whole day’s worth of music. Best of all, the USB-C-ready muffs can regain up to 50% in merely half an hour.
Audially, expect the same premium sound M&D offers with its standard pair of MH40s, much in part to its dual 40mm neodymium drivers that promote a balanced listening experience. As far as its collaborator goes, Berryman launched Applied Art Forms in 2020, fusing elements of tactical attire and traditional work to churn out staple pieces with a more contemporary look. The bassist’s brand’s stockists include MR PORTER and SSENSE, further cementing its place in the fashion world.
Applied Art Forms’ astral spin on the MH40 Wireless Headphones is available on Master & Dynamic Dynamic’swebshop9.
