Highs have good extension, but are rolled off at the top, which dulls the sparkle some may enjoy. This means the headphones never sound fatiguing and add body to whatever music you’re listening to. The tonal tuning of the headphones errs on slight warmth, especially in the mid bass. The headphones now feature a 1mm larger driver, helping with bass response and dynamics. We loved the MW07’s sound quality and are still smitten by the sound quality of the MW08. It's also missing an EQ feature, which would be nice to have but we enjoy the out of the box sound enough that we can forgive its omission. The app is simple to use, and it’s nice that it’s really optional, however firmware updates did take upwards of 20 minutes, which is annoying but a rare occurrence. (Note that you must download the app to be able to switch between Max and All Day ANC modes as the button on the headphone only enables the last ANC mode you used.) That being said, we recommend keeping ANC switched to All Day ANC if you’re working in a quieter environment like at home or in an office.Īlso worth noting: Master & Dynamic now offers an app, M&D Connect, which is a first for the company, and allows users to toggle between modes without long-pressing buttons on the earbuds themselves. However, we did notice a faint but audible “ticking” when the headphones were put in Max ANC mode and in a quiet environment. Voices in particular were noticeably better blocked by the MW08 than the MW07. The good news? Active noise cancellation returns, and it’s much, much better: the MW07 Plus’s ANC was average at best but the ANC in the MW08 is very effective at blocking out external noise.
