Leica Enlists Master & Dynamic for a Trio of Headphones that Live up to Specs of the Noctilux-M Lens

High-end camera brand Leica has collaborated with Master & Dynamic to develop three premium headphone models. And boy do they look like serious equipment.

Referred to as 0.95, the headphones offer a blend of incredible sound production and quality design. Named in honor of the Leica Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH, which is the world’s fastest aspherical lens, the three sets of headphones embody the essence of both luxury brands.

A 16-hour lithium ion rechargeable battery, an exposed all-aluminum antenna, and 45-mm custom neodymium drivers ensure audiophiles will swoon over the premium creations.

The aesthetic is just as impressive, with luxe materials like cowhide leather, stainless steel, and red acoustic mesh used in the designs. Details like a “Designed with Leica Camera AG” engraving, and Leica’s signature red glass dot, add to the sleek look of the headphones.

The custom machined ME05B-95 earphones are also equipped with 8mm drivers, and dual input/output ports, so two people can listen to the same device at once.
