Neurable launches smart brain-computer interface headphones with Master & Dynamic

Neurable has launched the MW75 Neuro, the first set of smart headphones that are integrated with Neurable‘s brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.

Neurable makes AI-powered tools, and it has teamed up with audio brand Master & Dynamic on the neurotechnology to help users get deeper insights into their cognitive health. Neurable also said the device can help manage burnout, and enhance daily performance.

The first BCI-enabled consumer-grade device of its kind, these headphones are set to change how we interact with everyday technology by empowering users to take control of their health and well-being through the power of their minds.

Built on the foundation of Master & Dynamic’s flagship wireless headset, the MW75 Neuro incorporates Neurable’s advanced AI-powered electroencephalography (EEG) sensors into the headphone’s ear pads. These BCI-enabled EEG sensors capture and analyze brain signals to generate detailed brainwave data that offers valuable insights into focus levels and more. Seems like gaming is going to be a prime market at some point for this technology.

Neurable’s technology introduces a suite of unique smart features, including the Neurable App. Neurable’s iOS and Android app enables users to easily access their brainwave data on mobile devices, offering brain trend summaries and productivity tips.

The EEG sensors allow users to track their focus and review brainwave data, such as optimal focus time and the impact of various activities on concentration. And through the brainwave analysis, MW75 Neuro can prompt users to take breaks when focus decreases, helping to prevent burnout.

Back in May, Neurable raised $13 million in funding. Neurable’s EEG AI technology is optimized for more compact form factors than traditional external brain wave monitoring devices. Neurable’s AI-powered platform records wearers’ brain activity and gives people their brain data in a non-invasive manner.

Founded as a University of Michigan spinout and, following its Series A funding in 2020, Neurable has partnered with consumer wearable companies, including headphone company Master & Dynamic, to advance the mission of embedding EEG sensors into everyday technologies.

The partnership has produced the first-ever BCI-enabled headphones, MW75 Neuro. The new funding will continue Neurable’s future plans to further develop its platform technology to provide consumers with even greater insight into the workings of the brain.

Neurable’s 10-year-in-the-making AI platform uses data analysis and signal processing to record and interpret brain signals with high confidence giving lab-level accuracy.

“The brain serves as the core of our health and well-being, yet we have only scratched the surface of what is possible by understanding and harnessing its power,” said Ramses Alcaide, CEO of Neurable, in a statement. “In partnership with Master & Dynamic, we are eager to bring the future of neurotechnology to the world with the debut of our groundbreaking MW75 Neuro smart headphones. These headphones mark the beginning of BCI-enabled technology for all, with the development of future use cases already underway.”

The MW75 Neuro marks a major leap forward in wearable technology, redefining the role of everyday devices across industries. As BCI technology continues to enter the mainstream, the MW75 Neuro headphones offer users an early opportunity to integrate advanced technology into their daily lives. By analyzing brainwave patterns, the headphones can adapt to individual needs and preferences, enhancing focus, concentration, and overall productivity. Whether you’re tackling a complex project, studying for an exam, or simply trying to relax, the MW75 Neuro can help you achieve your goals more effectively.

Beyond its pioneering smart features, the MW75 Neuro delivers the premium audio performance and luxurious comfort that Master & Dynamic is known for.

“We are excited to introduce the first consumer headphones with a fully integrated brain-computer interface,” said Jonathan Levine, CEO of Master & Dynamic, in a statement. “By combining Neurable’s patented brain signal processing with Master & Dynamic’s uncompromising sound design, the MW75 Neuro represents a breakthrough in technological innovation crafted to help users understand and enhance their productivity habits while using the headphones. It’s an honor to deliver the next evolution in wearable technology.”

Premium features

Embedded in the MW75 Neuro’s ear pads, the EEG sensors carry 12 channels with soft fabric sensors and have a bandwidth of 0-131 Hz with True DC Coupling.

The device also comes with Bluetooth 5.2, which enables the headphones offer a range of 100 feet with AAC, aptX adaptive, and SBC. The MW75 Neuro includes a custom 40mm Beryllium driver to produce a
rich and warm sound. It also incorporates eight microphones to filter out external noise, ensuring clear calls and noise cancellation.

It also has noise cancellation and listening modes. Adaptive Ambient and noise cancellation modes can automatically adjust to your surroundings for exceptional sound in any environment.

You can adjust your EQ with in-app sound profiles, access additional ANC modes, and download updates for the MW75 Neuro from your mobile device with the M&D Connect app. Each pair comes with a durable hardshell travel case to protect your headphones wherever you go.

Pricing and availability

The headphones come in four colors: Silver, Onyx, Navy and Olive. The MW75 Neuro is available in all colors for order on neurable.com in the United States and in Silver and Onyx on masterdynamic.com in the United States for a retail price of $700. Starting in the spring of 2025, the MW75 Neuro will be available in Europe and United Kingdom for €729 / ₤629.

Neurable has raised $30 million to date, and it got validation from the U.S. Air Force and it has teamed up with Healthspan Digital to bring advanced brain health tools to longevity clinics.
