Master & Dynamic Mh40 Over Ear Headphone - White/silver, Mh40s5

As others have stated, build quality is amazing, replacement ear pads are fifty quid (daylight robbery) sound quality is shocking for too much bass, the bass drowns out the highs and small details, i also own the discontinued MW65, which are amazing the build quality is perfect, the 65s focus on the detals and they do an amazing job, the details in songs I never knew existed before, the Austria Audio x25 out perform these mh40 , the x25 sound amazing, so comfortable and half the price. So thats my only negative the mh40s are far too much bass they drown the highs out, give them a miss and buy Austria Audio x25s, or even better try and get your hands on the Master and Destiny MW65s. Cheers.

Väldigt snygga kvalitetshörlurar. Bra ljud i dom, men de är ganska tunga.

A little heavy, stays on head ok. Great sound quality! Good for cell phone conversations which is very useful when I call doctors from my cubicle.

Super Qualität des komfortablen Klangs speziell die Qualität des Materials ist von erster Ordnung, entschuldigen Sie das Gewicht etwas schwer, aber dann kommt es auf die Köpfe an

Hervorragender Tragekomfort.

Overall, these are well executed, beautiful headphones, but they are not exceptional sound reproduction devices. IMHO they are not nearly as good in the clarity, effortless reproduction and neutrality of even the middle tier headphones from AKG or Sennheiser, HifiMan, etc. and I can't recommend them due to the sound quality.My normal headphones are AKG 712s or old Shure E4 IEM's. I reviewed these with an LG V30 with a quad DAC and Fiio portable headphone amplifier.First the fit - I have an abnormally large head. XXL hats are almost big enough. Of a lot of headphones I have auditioned recently these almost did not fit due to the limited travel. Also, while they are in fact "over the ear" design, this is just barely true. They will touch all of your ear unless you have small ears.The band comfort is pretty much what you'd expect from the pics. There is enough spring to give a constant tight fit, but no padding on the noggin. If you are at all sensitive to that, move along, not going to be comfortable for long term wear for you. The studio style AKGs you can wear all day long and not notice by comparison.The choice to go with barely big enough pads also makes them really good noise blocking headphones. These are really nice for offices and noisy environments for those who don't like IEMs.Now, the tonal balance. I started writing this review in a very positive light. Good noise blocking cans that are a little too laid back. When I switched to the AKGs though I realized that no, these are not really good sounding cans at all, certainly not at full retail. The tight ear seal gives you unusually good bass, with maybe a touch extra boom, and yeah, a lot of AKG models lack bass, but the bad is that to me, the mid to treble is noticeably low by comparison to my other two pairs. I'm listening to Chet Baker's Milano Sessions and the trumpet is just too low and lacks any of the sweet detail to be enjoyable. Switching to the AKGs it was night and day. Across the entire spectrum the AKGs demonstrate how congested and sluggish these headphones sound. The MH40 don't replay music so much as murmur. The best example I can give is listening to a speaker with a bad tweeter. It's really that bad.I really can't recommend the purchase and I have no idea why any reviewer would call the treble "crisp." Seriously? Not the pair I got.
