Master & Dynamic MW08

Stylish appearance ; Big bass performance ; Strong wireless connectivity

Not the best seal ; Average noise cancelling ; More expensive than before ; No improvement in water resistance ; Other earphones boast a more nuanced sound

It’s more of the same with the Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport, but with a jump in price. A very bassy but not particularly subtle sound is joined by average noise-cancelling performance. All things considered, better performance was expected for the price...

Effective ANC and Ambient modes ; Long-lasting battery from the earbuds and case ; Impressive sound

No equaliser settings in the app ; The charging case was prone to scratches ; Microphones are a bit quiet on calls

Expensive ; Middling water-resistance rating ; Lackluster in-ear fit for exercise ; No EQ

Higher price than the original ; Needs more features ; Bugs remain in the system

The Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport is a sturdier, more expensive version of the original with similar performance.
