When it comes to earbuds, I’m very picky. I want ones that fit comfortably in my ears, ones that I can wear for a while without my ears starting to hurt, long lasting battery and great sound. The Master & Dynamic MW07 EAR BUDS not only meet my requirements, they exceed them.
Right out of the packaging they’re ready to go. No pushing buttons to pair them with ALL my devices, just take them out of the case, put them in my ears, and pair away!
I have paired them with my Samsung Galaxy S8, Dell laptop, Kindle tablets (2 of those) and iPad Air 2. Each one only took a few seconds to pair. No pushing of buttons to wait for the LED light to blink. They even connected to my laptop Cortana immediately as well as Alexa on my tablets. Bixby is a little more challenging as it didn’t recognize some of the words I was saying.
Now for sound quality – These are above all the best earbuds I own! The sound is clear with no background feedback, or static. I put them in, put my Pandora on my smartphone, and was able to walk all around the house doing my various chores without any breakup in sound or sound quality. The phone calls come in clear and concise and the party at the other end can hear me without any feedback or distortions. I did go outside while wearing them as a plane went overhead, I found it a little heard to hear the person on the other end. I listened to several types of music to test the quality of different acoustics. The sound was clear and sharp with the pop music, classic rock, classical, easy listening and blues/Jazz. I’ll be using these a lot. I wore them for about 2 hours and the sound got better as they were “breaking in”.
The charging case is stainless steel and extremely rugged (I did accidentally drop it when I took the buds out). The USB-C is the same one I use for my cell phone, so charging it won’t be a problem. It does come with USB-C and a USB-A adapter. I haven’t had to charge the case yet as it’s still fully charged since I got it a couple of days ago. The MW07 comes with a carrying pouch for the charging case with the earbuds. The pouch is OK, just made of velvet with a push open. I wish the pouch was a little padded to protect the case better. But there is plenty of room in it for the case so that it’s easy to get in and out.
Comfort – The MW07 fits very comfortably in my ears and have a wide range of ear tips and wings to fit just about any size ears. My advice, since there is no cable connecting them together, make sure you pick the ear tips that fit snugly but comfortably in your ears. If they are not perfectly placed, they can fall out. They aren’t noise cancelling, but outside sounds are muffled enough so that you can hear what you’re listening to clearly. Even pouring rain doesn’t affect the sound quality, which is a definite plus for me.
Battery life – the charging case should last for at least 3 charges, before it has to be recharged, though I haven’t had to charge the case yet. The earbuds themselves lasted for over 3 hours, as is stated. They took less than 45min to charge fully in the case.
Outside noise – these aren’t noise cancelling, so you do hear some noise if you are out in an environment that has cars, trucks and planes in the area. If you want to talk on the phone, try to find a quieter place to do so. They are great for listening to music while walking. If you plan on going running or jogging with them, make sure you choose snug fitting ear tips and wings so the don’t fall out.
Overall, they are well worth the price. For me they give me the same quality of sound as other top brands that I own. I would recommend these for anyone wanting clear sound, comfort and no wires.
