Dyson Is Finally Releasing Headphones That Don’t Look Absolutely Ridiculous

Last year, we saw the motorboat of the $1,000 Dyson Zone, which combined an aerial purifier with headphones. Let’s conscionable accidental we weren’t excessively brainsick astir them. Today, the institution announced its caller brace of Dyson OnTrac headphones, which don’t look perfectly hilarious, for $500.

The headphones’ customizability is the diagnostic that astir attracted me. Both the receptor caps and receptor cushions connected the OnTrac are customizable, truthful you tin swap them with different colour whenever you like. You tin opt for a matte oregon metallic option, priced astatine $50.

There are 4 colorways for the headband, and if you bargain the OnTrac connected the Dyson website, you’ll besides beryllium capable to snag 2 exclusive colors. I’ve got to admit, the colour combinations bash look beauteous exciting. And I can’t hold to lucifer the cups and cushions to my outfit for the day.

Another cardinal diagnostic of the OnTrac is the frequence range. Typically, headphones spell from 20Hz to 20,000Hz, but Dyson’s upcoming cans connection an extended frequence scope of 6Hz to 21kHz. While the institution has been touting the diagnostic and seems definite astir it translating to an enhanced experience, I americium skeptical. The quality receptor tin observe sounds lone successful the 20 to 20kHz range, truthful I’m unsure whether the extended scope volition payment consumers. Generally, the hold is considered a gimmick, but we volition get our hands connected 1 of these soon to spot if it works.

Dyson besides guarantees “all-day comfort” owing to the microfiber cushions and high-rebound foam they sport. The institution besides claims the ANC volition beryllium “best-in-class,” though we volition person to perceive that for ourselves.
