bought Master & Dynamic MW08S and that was the worst decision I've ever made currently have Technics AZ80 and planning to upgrade to AZ100 or PI8
I have the Status Pro X. I think they need more time to break in, but so far it’s got extreme clarity (bordering on tinny) in both the highs and the lows. I’m still messing around with the EQ settings, but in general I feel the bass is a little lacking and overall it’s not as warm or natural sounding as my older Master & Dynamic MW08s, which I love the sound of. Hopefully the drivers soften up a little with use. The ANC is next level though, and the Bluetooth connection is rock solid.
You are on point, great review. The anc is the only thing I found lacking. The technics az100 are pretty darn nice. Sound is fantastic and anc is on par with Sony and Bose. Can’t get better than that. I sure enjoy my master and dynamic mw08. I haven’t had a listen to the 09 to expensive. If anyone has let me know what you think. Thanks
