The MA Wireless Series is comprised of the MA650 Wireless and the MA750 Wireless. These two headphones have a lot of similarities, but a few major differences. Both headphones have very similar styling, although the MA750 has some premium features that set it above the MA650.

My experience with the RHA MA Wireless Series was very positive overall. I used both sets of headphones while commuting to and from NYC over the course of three weeks. They were used about 2 hours per day, 5 times per week, so I got a great sense of how they are to use on a daily basis.

Both sets of headphones were very comfortable around my neck, the neckband is made of a soft silicone material, so it was hardly noticeable. The MA750 was definitely more comfortable to wear for extended periods because of the over-ear hooks that kept the earbuds in place. The fact that both sets include multiple styles and sizes of earbud make it very easy to find the best fit. The stainless steel housing on the MA750 unquestionably makes for a more premium, sophisticated looking headset.

The MA750 definitely sounded the best, however, the MA650 is no slouch. When it comes to Bluetooth audio, you’re never going to get pristine sound, so why spend a ton to try to reproduce every sound to a tee? The biggest reason, in my opinion, to upgrade to the MA750 is the ear hooks. I sometimes felt the MA650 pulling out of my ears, no matter which earbud I was using. At least with the MA750, I felt secure that they weren’t going anywhere.
