Hear It Hear. Only Here.™: Mark Levinson No. 5909  Wireless Headphones Feature 40mm Drivers, ANC, Generous Battery Life, and Serious Sonics

Mark Levinson No. 5909 is making history as the best wireless audiophile-quality headphones available in their price class. Adherence to the DNA of the legendary Mark Levinson brand has resulted in a spectacular set of headphones that are truly game-changers. Whether you want to take a walk around the block, work at your desk, make a phone call, or board an airplane, Mark Levinson No. 5909 Headphones allow you to take audiophile-quality sound with you.

The Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation technology reduces background noise, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music with pristine audiophile sound, no matter where you are. Reference-quality sound is combined with luxurious comfort in this lightweight, durable pair of headphones.

No. 5909 is first wireless headphone offered by Mark Levinson, the leader in luxury audio since 1972. It is constructed from premium materials, including core aluminum components, a leather headband, and replaceable leather ear cushions that ensure listening solace for years to come. No. 5909 was designed by the same world-class sound engineers behind Mark Levinson's renowned amplifiers, turntables, and streaming players.

Even if you want to wear these 'phones all day, you won't have any stress about battery power: No. 5909 delivers up to 34 hours of battery life (or up to 30 hours of playing time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled). And if you're in a hurry, you can get up to six hours of playing time with just a 15-minute quick charge.

Inside, No. 5909 utilizes expertly tuned, 40mm beryllium-coated drivers, and it offers high-resolution connectivity via Bluetooth 5.1. Outside, the luxury features include a cushioned leather headband and automotive-grade, gloss-metallic ear cup covers. These elegant headphones are designed with ear cups that swivel, allowing you to set them flat on a table or desk for convenience, rather than hanging them on a stand. For long-term storage, they fit snugly in a hard-shell carrying case, with all the accessories you need.

The red stitching on the cushioned headband looks fantastic, and it symbolizes the meticulous attention to detail that went into the design and engineering of these groundbreaking headphones.

With No. 5909, convenient, reliable control is literally at your fingertips — and easy to find. The right ear cup has buttons to control playback and volume, along with a USB-C port for charging. The left ear cup has a button for Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient Aware modes, and a button for Bluetooth modes.

The headphones come with cables, adapters, a hard-shell carrying case, and a microfiber polishing cloth. Like all Music Direct products, the Mark Levinson No. 5909 Headphones come with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee.

—Will Jennings, Ecoustics

"In terms of sheer audio quality and aesthetics, this is the cream of the crop."
—Sage Anderson, Rolling Stone

—Micah Singleton, Billboard

"[The Mark Levinson] No 5909 headphones come with a pedigree few can match. But the real reason they're worthy of accolades is that they're a gorgeous bit of audiophile art in the sheepskin cloak of a pair of travel cans."
—CES 2022 Editors' Choice Award
