Master & Dynamic recently rolled out a modern spin on its ME05 Wired Earphones, bringing back a beloved 2015 model with fresh features to match today’s tech needs. Priced at $199, the ME05s now offer sharper sound quality, wider compatibility, and a refreshed look.
Jonathan Levine, Founder and CEO of Master & Dynamic, shared his thoughts on the update, saying, “The ME05 Earphones have always been one of our favorite and most sought-after products. The design has stood the test of time and it’s a product I use personally every day. I’m proud to re-introduce this iconic analog product now with improved performance and compatibility.”
The upgraded ME05 packs custom 8mm high-excursion bio-cellulose drivers into precision-machined brass housings. Brass isn’t just for looks—it’s prized for its acoustic benefits too. The earphones’ design embodies Master & Dynamic’s approach to style and strength. With two sizes of foam and five sizes of silicone ear tips included, users can get a snug fit no matter their ear shape.
Perhaps the most practical update is the 3.5mm-to-USB-C adapter, supporting up to 32-bit/384 kHz resolution. This means users can get high-resolution audio on USB-C devices, solving a common gripe for listeners with modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The updated in-line microphone is no slouch either—wind reduction technology helps calls sound clear, even if you’re battling a breezy day.
Design touches lean into Master & Dynamic’s focus on craftsmanship. You’ll spot subtle laser etching, hand-polished accents, and tactile controls for easy use. Balanced weight distribution makes extended listening sessions a breeze, so you can keep your tunes going as long as you’d like.
Available in Gold/Black with preorder options for Gunmetal/Black, Palladium/Black, and Palladium/White, the ME05 Wired Earphones are up for grabs. Shoppers can find them on MasterDynamic.com for $199 / €219 / £169, with broader availability on Amazon later this winter.
For nearly a decade, Master & Dynamic has been turning out precision-engineered audio products. The New York City-based brand’s lineup includes headphones, earphones, and speakers known for their high-end materials and thoughtful design. Collaborations with names like Louis Vuitton and Mercedes-Benz underscore Master & Dynamic’s drive to blend luxury with top-tier performance.
