Master & Dynamic Greene Street Collection headphones add New York style for urban soldiers

But never mind that. Where can we buy that 'hoodie'?

NYC's finest 'luxury audio company' Master & Dynamic makes our favourite concrete wireless speaker, the staggering work of architectural art that is the MA770. 

It's also been known to turn its hand to, sadly non-concrete, headphones. Today it launches The Greene Street 2017 'holiday' capsule collection.

Taking the edgy style and ethos of the New York streets, The Greene Street Collection features three new versions of existing M&D products – wired and wireless over-ear headphones and wireless on-ear ones, in various choices of olive green, black and camo leathers (full product details are down the bottom).  

I met Master & Dynamic’s Founder and CEO Jonathan Levine earlier this year, and tried to warn him that in the UK, "Green Street" is not a fashionable thoroughfare that brands such as YSL and Paul Smith call home, but a terrible 90s football hooligan movie starring Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings.   

Unperturbed by this, Levine says, “From fashion runways to subway cars and everywhere in between, The Greene Street Collection represents our commitment to the urban creatives and the inspiration they continue to provide our brand.”  

Master & Dynamic's headphones are generally mighty fine, from what we've heard, seen and lovingly caressed of them. These new colourways update them so that they now wish an urban Christmas and a hip-hop New Year. And even better, give us an excuse to get the ghillie suit out of the wardrobe one more time.

Duncan is the former lifestyle editor of T3 and has been writing about tech for almost 15 years. He has covered everything from smartphones to headphones, TV to AC and air fryers to the movies of James Bond and obscure anime. His current brief is everything to do with the home and kitchen, which is good because he is an excellent cook, if he says so himself. He also covers cycling and ebikes – like over-using italics, this is another passion of his. In his long and varied lifestyle-tech career he is one of the few people to have been a fitness editor despite being unfit and a cars editor for not one but two websites, despite being unable to drive. He also has about 400 vacuum cleaners, and is possibly the UK's leading expert on cordless vacuum cleaners, despite being decidedly messy. A cricket fan for over 30 years, he also recently become T3's cricket editor, writing about how to stream obscure T20 tournaments, and turning out some typically no-nonsense opinions on the world's top teams and players.

Before T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years. 

A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know."
