The Italian automaker’s partnership with Master & Dynamic yields high-end headphones
by Kirby Garlitos, on LISTEN 02:59The special edition headphones are based on two of Master & Dynamic’s most celebrated products: the MW65 Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones and the MW07 Plus True Wireless Earphones. Both products are dressed to the nines in Lamborghini branding and just like the Italian supercars that come out of Sant’Agata, the headphones carry premium pricing, ranging from $450 to close to $700. The Lambo headphones and earphones are now available on the online stores of Lamborghini and Master & Dynamic.
What kind of headphones are we looking at here?
Mind you, we’re not talking about headphones and earphones that you can buy at any local Best Buy. We’re talking about headphones that cater to those who can afford to spend $500 for a pair without making a dent in their wallets.
Two of Master & Dynamic’s premium headphones and earphones are the stars of this collaboration with Lamborghini. There’s the MW65 Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones that start at $399 and then there’s the MW07 Plus True Wireless Earphones that’ll set you back a tidy $299.
The MW65 headphones, in particular, are available in three different colorways: silver metal/ light grey / yellow Alcantara, black metal / black yellow Alcantara, and black metal / black Grey Alcantara. Notice that all colorways come in fine Alcantara, or the same material that’s a staple in Lamborghini’s lineup of models?
Meanwhile, the MW07 wireless earphones are designed a little more to Lamborghini’s identity. It’s also available in three colorways — polished white/matt silver case, polished black/matt black case, and matt black/matt black case — but they also come with the added treat of wearing Lamborghini’s unmistakable “Y” design motif and, of course, the raging bull logo. Even the MW07’s case, which doubles as a portable charger, also comes with Lamborghini’s brand logo.
How much does a pair cost?
This is where it gets serious. I mentioned that the MW65 headphones retail for $399 and the MW07 earphones cost $299. Those are for the standard Master & Dynamic units. Unfortunately, a collaboration with Lamborghini doesn’t come cheap and the price tags on these limited edition headphones and earphones reflect that. The Lamborghini MW65 headphones, for example, cost $549. That’s $150 more expensive than a standard pair of MW65 headphones. Meanwhile, the Lamborghini MW07 wireless earphones carry a price tag of $349. The premium isn’t that high — $50 — but it’s still expensive.
In any case, the special edition headphones/earphones are now available on the Master & Dynamic website. Best be quick about buying one before stocks run out.
