MAINTENANCE + TROUBLESHOOTING
Clean ear pads and headphones with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not soak, submerge or allow moisture to enter near the drivers or cable jacks. Ear pads and cables can be purchased if they are worn out at: www.masterdynamic.com Do not drop, sit on, or allow the headphones to be exposed to water, moisture, or temperature extremes.
It is recommended that you return your headphones to their storage case when not in use. To avoid damage, do not store other items in the canvas case along with your headphones. CAUTION: Incorrectly rotating or over-rotating the earcups can damage the headphones.
Temperature Range: operate and store this product within the temperature range of -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) only. Charge the battery where the temperature is between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) only.
If you experience streaming interruptions when connected to certain devices, it is likely due to a device-specific compatibility issue. To resolve, switch to HANDS FREE MODE and restart the headphones. This will optimize performance for multiple-device connections.

PREVENTION OF NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS
NIHL is a preventable condition caused by both one-time and extended exposure to excessive decibel (dB) levels. This harm to sensitive inner ear structures is irreversible and people of all ages can be affected. Damage can happen in a single event or gradually over time. One-time exposure to sounds louder than 110 decibels and extended exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can cause harm. Indicators of NIHL include hearing loss and tinnitus, a condition of sensing constant ringing, buzzing or roaring. The NIDCD (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders) offers this simple rule of thumb: avoid sound exposure that is “too loud, too close or too long.” Here are some general references to sound levels that occur in everyday life: refrigerator humming (45 dB); normal conversation (60 dB); city traffic (85 dB); motorcycles (95 dB); an MP3 player at full volume (105 dB); sirens (120 dB); firecrackers (150 dB).

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never had the Bose so i can’t give you comparisons. Ive only ever purchased MD products because they are an artisan products which is what i prefer. I can telly you that they are incredible in their audio quality (exceptional bass) and noise reduction and keep me sane on flights!
Hey There! I find that the noise canceling tech as well as the over-ear fit of these headphones do a wonderful job reducing all ambient noises.
The best headphones I have ever owned Perfectly balanced bass mid and treble
In my experience, the 65s are a little better. If you don’t need ANC or a long-lasting battery, then the 60s should be fine IMO. I ended up with the 65 because of the battery and ANC with at minimum equal sound quality.
This is the one thing I find irksome about the headphones. I am always willing to pay for quality, but the supplied cloth bag is almost an afterthought. I’m using the case from a retired set of Bose QC10s for mine. It doesn’t fit perfectly, but I don’t think I am hurting them.
These will connect to any source with a 3.5mm or Bluetooth Audio output. Please ensure your TV has a Bluetooth audio output to ensure these will be compatible wirelessly.
It works with Google home for updates. These do not need an app to sound better as they are created and set up to the manufacturer’s preference. If you need to change the sound, I would recommend the Neutron music player to mess with EQ settings.
Yes, you can use ANC while using the 3.5mm cord while the headphones are powered on.
Only one device can broadcast to the MW65 at one time. You will have to pause/end the music on one device to continue on another.
