Dyson Ontrac (New Active Noise Cancelling over Ear Headphones) $799

Did anyone catch this video on YouTube? (also did anyone hear a laugh when he says "Dyson Zone" 😂)

Before you start typing away, these are nothing like the Dyson Zone that everyone was laughing at. no bulkiness with fans inside the earcups, no air filter.

They do still look a bit weird, especially in red with the 3 piece headband, but seems like Dyson has taken ANC headphones seriously and released their own "Audio only product". the outside is customizable though you can swap the pieces out to change the colour of the headband earcups and ear cushions.

I'm hoping that bulky 3 piece headband look (they claim the batteries are in there) means the 55 hour battery life is with ANC on which would be impressive. (*official page confirms at the bottom 55 hours is with ANC on)

this is probably more exciting than the Sonos Ace which seems to have been a bit meh after release.

Official page just shows the colours and has pretty much has zero information about the headphones so here it is just for proof it's coming.

I think this blue headband and blue ear cushions colourway (CNC Copper Launch Colorway), with silver earcups will look very cool and Dyson'y. https://dyson-h.assetsadobe2.com/is/image/content/dam/dyson/…
Additional Colourway kit will cost you US$49 just for those silver cups though. 😩

  • 55 hours - well I’m impressed

  • Dyson's second attempt, well I’m impressed

    • prob will also fail

  • ok a bit disappointing news but according to a proper french review with subtitles.
    even with 8 mics it’s still behind in ANC compared to Sony, Bose and Sonos.
    ymmv I would like to test it in person but it’s so expensive probably never will.
