Beware of this company! I regret not checking reviews before buying. Ordered headphones for Christmas, returned one pair in early January, and despite proof of delivery on 3rd January, no refund by today, February 3rd. Customer service blames warehouse delays. Extremely frustrating experience; avoid at all costs.

Please email us at [email protected] or submit a ticket at https://support.masterdynamic.com/hc/en-us mentioning Trustpilot with your order number and return details.

I also live in UK and I thought I would treat myself as my birthday is soon. Money been taken but this company was unable to fulfil my order plus lack of communication and now I am trying to get my money back. Shame I had high expectations and beware of the YouTubers who promote this companies products.
Response from Master & Dynamic· Apr 11, 2025
Dear Mustafa Akkas,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your disappointing birthday experience with our company and about the delay in getting to respond. The combination of payment issues, unfulfilled orders, and communication problems you encountered is unacceptable.
We appreciate your feedback regarding promoted products, and we're working to ensure that all marketing accurately reflects the customer experience.
Sincerely,

Seriously! DO NOT purchase any goods from this company
I am writing this review out of sheer frustration and disappointment with Master & Dynamic. My sales order #78006, placed on 25th November, has turned into a nightmare, and I feel compelled to share my experience to warn potential customers.
As of today, I have not received my headphone order, and what's even more infuriating is the complete lack of transparency regarding the delivery date. Despite sending two follow-up emails to the support team, I've received nothing but vague apologies and assurances that they are "looking into it."
What adds insult to injury is the audacity of Master & Dynamic to send a marketing email this morning, claiming that orders placed before the 16th December will be delivered by the 25th. Seriously? My order was placed well before that, and I still haven't received a confirmed delivery date. This level of disingenuous communication is not only unprofessional but also deceptive.
This type of behaviour raises serious concerns. I've heard of companies in the past engage in similar tactics when they are facing financial trouble, collecting money without any intention of fulfilling orders. It's appalling to think that a company would exploit customer trust in such a manner, and I hope this is not the case.
Given the complete lack of confidence I now have in Master & Dynamic's ability to fulfil my order satisfactorily, I am requesting a full refund of all monies paid. I believe this is a fair and necessary step, considering the ongoing uncertainty and the evident breakdown in customer service.
To anyone considering purchasing from Master & Dynamic, please beware. The lack of communication, failure to provide a delivery date, and misleading marketing emails are red flags. I sincerely regret choosing this company and advise others to think twice before doing so.
I hope my review serves as a cautionary tale and prompts Master & Dynamic to address their customer service issues promptly.

Dear Colin Golding,
I sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience with your order and the subsequent lack of transparency regarding delivery times.
Your experience is understandably concerning.
Thank you for your detailed feedback, which highlights important issues in our order fulfillment and communication processes that we are addressing as a priority.
Sincerely,

Product last only 1 - max 2 years
Ik was altijd grote b&o fan. Maar kwam toen de master & Dynamic koptelefoons tegen.
Ik dacht "eens proberen, waarom niet?". Ze zagen er namelijk zeer kwalitatief uit, mooi en de reviews waren zeer lovend.
Ik heb mezelf dus 2 producten van hen cadeau gedaan: de in ears mwo8 & de over ears mh40.
Ik moet zeggen ze klinken geweldig goed, zien er zeer goed uit. Dus daarvoor 5 sterren.
MAAR beide toestellen zijn na 2 jaar jaar kapot gegaan terwijl ik deze alles behalve dagelijks / intensief gebruik.
- mh40: gestopt met werken uit het niks, altijd met liefde zorg voor gedragen, geen gebruikssporen aanwezig, nooit laten vallen enzovoort.
Opeens komt er geen geluid meer uit, voor een koptelefoon van zoveel geld is dat toch ronduit schandalig, mijn veel oudere b&o werkt nog perfect.
- mw08: deze gaan opeens maar 4 minuten mee (batterij). Ik kan dus 1 liedje luisteren en dan is de pret voorbij. Nogmaals deze zijn niet dagelijks of intensief gebruikt.
Opzoek naar een dure koptelefoon die je jaarlijks moet vervangt? Dan is dit je merk!!
Opzoek naar een premium brand voor lange termijn? Kijk dan naar de concurrentie zoals b&o / b&w, meer kwaliteit voor je geld.
Costumer service trouwens ook bijzonder slecht bij m&d, ze vinden het precies normaal dat een product snel kapot gaat.
Ik koop hier nooit meer aan en hoop dat iedereen de reviews leest voor ze willen aankoop.
Response from Master & Dynamic· Apr 11, 2025
Dear Björn Schouten,
I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the disappointing experiences with both your MH40 and MW08 products, especially after initially being pleased with their sound and appearance. The premature failure of both devices despite light usage is concerning and not representative of our quality standards.
I understand your frustration with our customer service response, which didn't properly address the issues you experienced and I thank you for your candid feedback, which helps us identify important areas for improvement.
Sincerely,
Nicole

I got sucked in by the marketing hype…
I got sucked in by the marketing hype and reviews for the M&D mw65 wireless headphones and after paying a premium price for what I thought was a premium product just after 3 years of light use the ear cups are falling apart. Literally coming apart at the seams.
I contacted M&D as this looks to be faulty manufacturing to me. They were only interested in selling me replacements despite me asking about an appeals process, I had no choice in the end other than to buy replacements.
I’ve contacted the CEO and owner of the business, Jonathan L, no response as yet.
I have a pair of AKG headphones that are 10 years old and as good as the day I purchased them. I know where I’ll be spending my money in future, not with M&D that’s for sure.
Response from Master & Dynamic· Apr 11, 2025
Dear Ian Hatfield,
I sincerely apologize for the issues you've experienced with your MW65 headphones after three years of light use, and for the delay in response here.
The deterioration of the ear cups shouldn't occur under normal conditions, and I understand your frustration with our response focusing on selling replacements rather than addressing what appears to be a manufacturing concern.
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention as it highlights areas that require improvement.
We are actively working on a solution for you. Please email us directly at [email protected] or submit a ticket at https://support.masterdynamic.com/hc/en-us so we can help resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
Nicole

Do not buy these headphones the customer service representatives are so unprofessional. I wish I read the reviews first, this teaches me however they didn’t even have the invoice in the delivery for customs to clear and customs were calling me.
IT IS NOT WORTH THE £500 at all.
I still have not received my item and if the sound quality is also not good I will be returning it and I have a feeling with all the comments I most likely will be.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Even if you go on YouTube these are the first headphones I can barely find reviews on and that says alot.
Response from Master & Dynamic· Apr 11, 2025
Dear Madeehah Malik,
I sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience with your order, particularly the customs clearance issues caused by missing documentation. This falls well below our shipping and service standards, and I understand your concern about whether the product will meet your expectations.
Thank you for your feedback, which helps us identify critical improvements needed in our international shipping processes.
Sincerely,
Nicole

Worst customer service ever
Worst customer service ever, in the UK they have no returns procedure, I had to fight for a return of a faulty earbud even though I only took delivery over a few weeks. Took 50+ emails with 5 different customer support staff to send me a postage label. Once label sent and posted, it was returned to me, these silly people, didn't send me a battery label which is required by DHL, so they send one for me to print, again parcel returned to me, why? DHL doesn't accept printed battery labels, third time I had to send it to some random person in the US? 2 months later over 50+ emails and 2 returned parcels did I get my money back. This is a crooked scam company, read the other reviews, this is run by people who have no idea what they're doing.
Response from Master & Dynamic· Apr 11, 2025
Dear Zach,
I'm deeply sorry for the difficult return experience you encountered. The issues with return labels, particularly for battery shipments, represent a failure in our international return processes.
This experience does not align with our own expectations, and I sincerely apologize for the time and frustration it caused you. We've implemented comprehensive improvements to our international returns system, including proper battery shipping procedures.
If you have any ongoing issues or need further assistance, please contact us at [email protected] or submit a ticket at https://support.masterdynamic.com/hc/en-us, and we will ensure your case receives proper attention.

M&D Doesn't Honor Warranties
My MW07s died after 6 months. M&D refused to honor their warranty just like the dozens of other complaints on here.
