Luxury audio brand Master & Dynamic partnered with Neurable, a neurotechnology company specializing in developing AI-powered tools, to introduce an innovation in smart headphones.
The MW75 Neuro headphones measure your brain activity to help boost productivity and avoid burning out by integrating Neurable’s brain-computer interface (BCI) and AI technology. Electroencephalography (EEG) sensors in the ear pads of the headphones track and analyze brain signals and translates them into “detailed brainwave data that offers valuable insights into focus levels and more,” according to a news release.

Master & Dynamic MW75 Neuro Smart EEG ANC Headphones
Available in onyx and grey, MW75 Neuro headphones are up for pre-order and will be released on Oct. 31. They feature memory foam pads, an anodized aluminum headset, tempered glass and lambskin leather.
On the technical front, the hi-fidelity headphones are powered with 40mm beryllium metal drivers, Bluetooth 5.2, adaptive technology that connects to hi-res Bluetooth audio up to 100 feet and a 22-hour battery.
With the Neurable app, you can access your brainwave data and focus score, track your progress, find tips to enhance productivity and enact the Brain Break feature, which prompts you to pause and refocus.
“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 Dr. Ramses Alcaide, co-founder and CEO of Neurable. “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.”

Recording songs is just one step in the music-making process. Next, emerging artists need to distribute their album, EP or singles on music streaming platforms in order to reach listeners.
Sources like YouTube and TikTok have become a popular method for exposure, but if you’re looking to reach a wider audience, DistroKid can instantly get your music on Spotify — and for as little as $2 a month.
What differentiates the platform from the rest isn’t just its simplicity, but its artist-first mind-set and ability to eliminate having to count tracks and pay royalty fees. In three easy steps, you can get your music quickly released on Spotify in addition to a slew of other benefits. You’ll need to sign up for DistroKid in order to take advantage of everything the service has to offer, but the platform offers a variety of affordable plans to choose from, starting at $1.92 a month (billed annually at $22.99).

Make the most of your DistroKid access when you pick from the Musician, Musician Plus or Ultimate plan. The Musician plan is the base package for one artist that’s $22.99 a year and includes unlimited song uploads, your lyrics in Google, a Spotify verified checkmark, the ability to create royalty splits and access to the mobile app.
For more creative freedom, you can get Musician Plus for $39.99 a year ($3.33 a month) and utilize it for up to two artists while receiving everything in the Musician plan in addition to synced lyrics in Apple Music and daily streaming stats. You can flex your creativity further when you take advantage of the customizable features for a label name, release date, preorder date and iTunes pricing.
To save up to 40% off, you can go for the Ultimate subscription that’s $89.99 a year and includes everything in the Musician Plus plan in addition to 1 TB of storage, contact info for thousands of playlists and free iPhone app access.
Beyond receiving verification on Spotify, a DistroKid subscription gives you control over your artist profile, allowing you to update your photo, bio and links. You can help your music reach more listeners by pitching songs directly to Spotify playlist curators and even track streaming statistics, including number of streams, saves and engagements. The deep insight into your audience can assist in developing marketing plans — especially since DistroKid lets you view Spotify’s streaming charts.
In terms of getting paid, the platform handles all of that for you with payments distributed twice a week — and you get to keep 100% of the royalties.

This is so important to me because we don’t know if the fake dolls are safe or not,” Ms. Rachel continues before explaining the features of her doll versus the fake.
Released by Spin Master, the authentic Ms. Rachel doll is an interactive, touch-activated toy that sings four songs: “Wheels on the Bus,” “Hop Little Bunny,” “I’m So Happy” and “Icky Sticky.” The doll also says more than 16 signature phrases, including “Can you say…?” and “I’m so proud of you!”
