Although this earphone is very nice and looks better than any other earphone we can think of, it cannot be compared with other earphones in terms of battery or comfort, which is a big problem when its price is very astronomical. .
Read the full verdict
(Pocket-lint)-If you need to believe more that games have become a market that is so large that the prestige and traditional audio brands cannot ignore, you only need to look at the fact that Bang & Olufsen entered the market earlier this year, and Master & Dynamic Now keep up with this trend: MG20.
Just as there is a market for high-quality headsets in the wider world, there is no doubt that there are many gamers who do not want to have a little plastic needle on their heads when playing games. Therefore, if you are looking for a more luxurious experience, then MG20 may be for you.
Master & Dynamic manufactures attractive headphones, and there is no doubt that MG20 is the latest product that continues to prove this fact. We are accustomed to using words like "gaming headset" to express our admiration for headset design, but this does not apply here.
In short, the MG20 looks absolutely great, with a simple appearance plus many clever details, as well as simplicity that is harder to design than it seems. Everything is made of high-quality materials, whether it is magnesium or aluminum, but despite their heavy weight, the headset overall is not too heavy.
We provide a black version for review. When you unplug the detachable cantilever microphone, you will never know that it is a gaming headset-these headsets are very good, can be worn and used in any environment, and are attractive enough to compliment It is also in most of them.
In other words, they are not waterproof or suitable for continuous use outside the home, but it is reassuring to know that they do not seem to be problematic. In addition to the cantilever microphone, you can also get a series of controls on the earmuffs, including volume and a dial to control the microphone pickup.
There is also a Bluetooth button that doubles as a power switch, and a switch for 7.1 surround sound, which provides you with many options when you use MG20. These dials are easy to use and well made with satisfying action, and the feeling that you have a quality product is really deep, right down to the soft Alcantara coating on the inside of the headband and the elegant indicator which ear is which.
All this looks very elegant, but when worn, the MG20 slipped from the high-end to the melee with all other headphones. Sadly, although it is very comfortable, it is far from the best choice in similar products like SteelSeries. You will still be happy after wearing it for a few hours, but you will eventually notice a slight tightness and weight.
If M&D makes beautiful hardware, it can also support it with impressive sound for a while, as does the MG20. This is an exercise on how to show quality spirit in the game.
If you want to turn up the volume, the 50mm driver here can provide a huge amount of power, but the out-of-the-box balance is impressive-although you can easily adjust the equalizer settings using the companion app.
You will get a wide sound field, allowing you to hear louder sounds and warm and deep music, while also capturing more subtle details such as footsteps—the noise of Battlefield 2042 can sometimes be overwhelming, but You will reliably hear the sound of enemies sprinting while using MG20 near you.
There is also 7.1 surround sound support, but if you are a PC gamer and you have a system that can output it correctly, you will find it more meaningful. Activate it on PS4 or PS5 and you will get a confusing echo weird, but when you can easily deactivate it, this is not a problem.
Using headphones as a pair of headphones and listening to some music through the phone confirms that they are also very suitable for this. The warm tone and impressive bass and treble performance make it impressively adaptable.
You can add a variety of features to gaming headsets to stand out, from haptics to RGB lighting, but M&D has always kept it simple and restrained-which is admirable in some ways-so this is really a headset that can do anything It says on the can.
You can use the included low-latency dongle to connect to PS4, PS5, or PC to get a good connection that can withstand a certain distance, or if you want, you can use a wired connection, and Bluetooth can also be used with mobile phones and PCs.
However, although there are some aptX codecs for latency-free mobile games, there is really nothing to write about in terms of functionality. We think for this price point, you may need some active noise reduction (ANC) to really isolate your sound. But no, there are no dice.
Similarly, we are a little disappointed with the battery life of the MG20, which is said to be 22 hours-but for us, the battery life is usually much shorter. This is also power off after the game session ends, rather than relying on the head detection function that should theoretically perform this operation for us.
Nevertheless, connecting to our PS5 is a simple process and works reliably, and the connection has never been accidentally disconnected. You will also hear a slight warning sound to let you know that the battery is low, although this will only keep you a few minutes before the headset is completely powered off.
It charges via USB-C, as you wish, which means you don't have to worry about accommodating extra cables in your daily work. M&D also comes with a cute heavy-duty fabric suitcase, a custom pocket with microphone and charging cable, and a magnetically closed top, which is something we like for storage.

Finally, the headset has an onboard microphone, so you can use it to answer calls without the boom microphone. Although the microphone does not pick up very well, it is not only easy to maintain, but also very tactile.
We like using MG20 very much, but whether it represents value for money is not a simple question. However, this is undoubtedly one of the more beautifully made gaming headsets. It looks beautiful and feels great.
If it is cheaper, then we will support it more wholeheartedly, but at this price, you can buy more than one of our favorite headphones and get the same level of sound performance (or better).
If you are particularly concerned about the look and feel of your technology-and more power-then you will not be disappointed with the MG20, but its value proposition is not entirely correct for most people now.
Our favorite PlayStation 5 headset is more specifically aimed at gamers, so it can’t be compared with the MG20 in style and appearance. However, it sounds equally good, less costly, and useful in almost every aspect.
