The new Louis Vuitton Horizon earphones possess the same timeless design and attention to detail as the designer’s namesake luggage. Available in five eye-catching colors, the wireless earbuds—which feature the classic LV initials and Monogram flowers—also come with a sleek charging case. The Horizon boasts such cutting-edge features as noise cancellation and ambient noise control, 30 hours of battery life, double microphones in each ear, and wireless charging. With proven sound quality by audio specialist Master & Dynamic, listeners are invited to accept calls, tune out noise, and enjoy their favorite music.
If you’re looking for a way to treat yourself during Dry January, Louis Vuitton can help. The French designer (following a staggering men’s show in Paris — more on that later) just released a new series of stainless steel wireless headphones designed with New York-based audio brand Master & Dynamic. The two first released a collection of earbuds last year but the latest range offers an improved audio experience and fresh design.
The new color styles include red, yellow, and pink in addition to the monochromatic black and white options. Each pair is engraved with Louis Vuitton’s signature LV monogram and embellished with some intricate floral details as a nod to the heavy botanical theme of Spring/Summer 2020 collection. The headphone’s acoustic experience has been upgraded and battery life has been extended from 10 to 30 hours with two additional 10-hour charges stored within the charging case. On top of that, a new noise-canceling feature lets you block out the world’s background noise while an ambient listening mode allows you to stay aware of your surroundings.
The Louis Vuitton Horizon headphones are available in select stores and online now.
In collaboration with headphone maker Master & Dynamic and record label 4AD, urban surf boutique Saturdays NYC is transforming its SoHo outpost into a partial record store (dubbed Saturdays Record Shack) for the summer. For six weeks, customers will be able to shop the latest merch from the brand, as well as some new exclusive products from the designer and M&W’s range of premium headphones, as well as listen to the latest 4AD hits in a listening booth posted in the shop’s outdoor space. The downtown store seems to have mastered that balance of being an actual shop as well as a hang-out space — the cafe seems to always be staffed with friendly and charming surfer types if you’re into that — so why not chill just a little bit longer?
Saturdays Record Shack is open now at 31 Crosby Street, NY 10013.
Master & Dynamic has released a new range of wireless headphones today. Following the New York-based audio company’s viral headphone collab with Louis Vuitton back in January (which boast an LV logo and luxe $995 price tag), the expanded line of MW07 Wireless Earphones is crafted from sleek acetate and available in 7 colorways. The headphones come in a steel case that doubles as a charger, and adapt to the wearer’s ear for an optimum audio experience. With a growing number of wireless earphones to choose from, headphone wires might just be the next thing millennials kill.
The MW07 Wireless Earphones are available in stores and online now.
Estimable headphone designer Master & Dynamic, a brand renowned for its sonorously sophisticated products that last decades, expands its growing range with the MW50 Wireless On-Ear Headphones. Available in silver metal with black or brown leather – in contrast to the cobalt range released earlier this year – the headphones combine the brand’s signature “form meets function” design with the latest technology, producing a deep, rich sound. The headphones are wireless with connection available from 100 feet away, three times the industry standard. With a sixteen-hour battery life and a compact fold-flat design, the device places effortlessness at the forefront of its composition. Founded in New York City, the company captures and facilitates the bustling sounds of Manhattan, designing and developing its range locally and sponsoring music programs across the city.
The Master & Dynamic MW50 headphones are available online now.
Premium headphone designer Master & Dynamic reveals a beautifully-dyed new project with noted French retailer colette in the form of two limited-edition cobalt pieces. Using the audio brand’s most core styles—the MH40 Over-Ear and the MH30 On-Ear pieces—the team up sees duo colorways in reverse contrast. Both feature, of course, Master & Dynamic’s famously rich and noise canceling-sound and are rendered in its luxe, cowhide, lambskin leather, and stainless steel materials.
Master & Dynamic x colette are available online now.

Proenza Schouler—that name you’ve heard all your girlfriends and sisters and co-workers of the opposite gender insensately chatter about for the last X-number of years and yet you somehow still cannot come close to reproducing yourself (Shewler? Shooler? Scooler?)—has teamed up with pioneers of the auditory experience, Master & Dynamic, for a limited edition capsule collection of fantastically-colored remixed versions of headphones that are as beautiful in design as the high-quality sound they emit.

Featuring shiny goatskin headbands embossed with Proenza’s name, perforated ear pads in comfy lambskin, and a branded blue canvas pouch and box—yeah, they’re not super different than the original MH40 style … that’s ok—the three colorway release in blue leather with black metal, black and gunmetal leather with black metal, and white and copper leather with black metal, instead, inspires a cross-categorical creative flame, uniting both downtown design house and innovative tech company with a damn good/pretty product. I’d take three, but because of the limited edition run (only 200 pairs went into production) and appropriately-high coinage ($495 each), I’ll just salivate over each in spirit as I tolerate shitty Apple earpods. Oh and by the way, it’s Pro-en-za Skool-er.

The Proenza Schouler x Master & Dynamic headphones are available now online and select retailers worldwide.
