# Office-Friendly Headphones Master & Dynamic's MH40 Model Minimizes Distraction by Containing Sound By Meghan Young | Published 2014-09-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officefriendly-headphones References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/tech/master-dynamic-premium-headphones.php) & [masterdynamic](http://www.masterdynamic.com/products/mh40) Although office-friendly headphones might seem like a strange concept, many designs bleed sound noisily, creating a disruptive environment many colleagues will not appreciate. This is especially the case if someone is listening to particularly head-banging music. Yet personal tastes aside, the growth of [open workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-ear-open) makes office-friendly headphones even more necessary. Enter Master & Dynamic's debut offering: the [MH40](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mh40-wireless-applied-art-forms). As reliable as it is attractive, the office-friendly headphones are made out of luxury lambskin leather and offer high-end audio engineering. Together, the overall design locks in sound while not affecting the wearer's experience in the process. Designed and developed in New York City, the office-friendly headphones are also very comfortable and weigh less than a pound. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Office-friendly Headphones:** Master & Dynamic's MH40 Model Minimizes Distraction by Containing Sound - **Open Workspaces:** The growth of open workspaces makes office-friendly headphones even more necessary. - **Luxury Headphone Design:** Master & Dynamic's MH40 offers high-end audio engineering in an attractive, comfortable package. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore innovative designs for office-friendly headphones that provide high-quality sound while minimizing noise leakage. - **Office Furniture and Design:** Companies specializing in office furniture and design can create solutions that help integrate office-friendly headphones into open workspace environments. - **Fashion and Luxury Accessories:** Luxury fashion brands can collaborate with audio equipment manufacturers to create stylish and comfortable office-friendly headphones made with high-end materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-End Vintage-Inspired Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/master-dynamic-mh40-v2.md) - [60s-Inspired Headphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mh40-wireless-applied-art-forms.md) - [Calfskin-Sheathed Luxury Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calfskin-luxury-headphones.md) - [Luxe Lambskin-Accented Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/master-dynamic-mw75.md) - [Noise Canceling Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cmf-headphone.md) - [Collaborative Leather Luxe Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/md-mh40-headphones.md) - [Rustic Collaboration Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-master-dynamic-waxed-canvas-mw40.md) - [Dynamic Comfortable ANC Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ace-headphone.md) - [Streetwear-Branded Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/master-dynamic-x-bape.md)
