and is an excellent choice for music lovers seeking an immersive experience with its very good overall sound quality and excellent soundstage. However, it has a poor microphone and no wireless capability, making it less versatile for calls and use on-the-go. The Sundaras are open-back and will not isolate noise well, and they also lack features like active noise cancelling (ANC), making them less suitable for noisy environments or air travel. Conversely, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro are significantly more expensive but offer both wired and wireless connectivity, including aptX Adaptive for better sound over Bluetooth and lower latency. The closed-back design with very good noise isolation, excellent mic quality, plus ANC make them great for varied environments. They are also more feature-packed with an equalizer app, customizable controls, and unique Neurable AI technology for tracking focus and mental health, adding value for tech-savvy users or those who need a versatile pair for different scenarios. Choose the Sundara if you prioritize high-quality music listening at home and don't mind the wires, or opt for the MW75-Neuro if you seek a feature-rich, noise-isolating headset for diverse uses including travel, calls, and gaming.
