            • @RBZ10: To strip the filters and fans out. Lol

              • @cnut: You dont work in IT or have a tech background i can see lol

                • @RBZ10: Yes, you can see a lot from one joke reply. You’re very smart.

        • I checked with Dyson, and sadly according to them, the ear cushions are not interchangeable between the Zone and OnTrac?

          • @Lord Fungus: Its literally the same headphone, I just recieved my zones and have looked at the images of the ontracs the mechanism is the same its the samr hesdphones just with a slightly diff case and no air purifier.

            Images of the 2:

            https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTWmYyo…

            Doesnt mean im 100% but that def looks 99% the same.

            The ontracs are just to sell all the headphone parts they bought for the zones that didnt sell.

          • @Lord Fungus: I would be very surprised if they don't fit. The design of the mechanism is exactly the same, so they would have had to adjust the moulds to make them incompatible - and why would they do that? It makes no sense to make a new mould, instead of using the existing ones.

            Much more likely that the support person you spoke to just has no idea what they are talking about. They probably looked up the ear cushions to see what headphones they are listed as compatible with (they are only listed as being compatible with the Ontrac), and went by that info.

        • @RBZ10 @caprimulgus I must admit I was surprised. I guess there’s only one way to find out for sure - who’s got both and can do a real world test?

    It seems like this thing… sounds surprisingly good? If you can ignore the fact that it makes you look like a dunce, might be pretty decent

    • Yes, its compared with Focal Bathys in sound quality. Just not in the default EQ setting.

  • Hey, it's good while mowing…

    I'm serious

    • Exactly my thought. Especially in spring with all the pollens.

  • Just out of curiosity - How many of you here, reading the comments, have actually seen someone wear the headphones with the face /filter component in public??

    My anecdotal observation - none.

    I think the big question is if the headphones alone are worth it?

  • Good deal! Good for hay fever in spring season. It would be great for home use. However, wearing it in the public, I can imagine will turn many heads and really stand out.

  • +1

    this technology (gimmick or not) would be great for motorcycle helmets…

  • Hmm… would people use the air purifier function if went directly in the nose like Dune? https://platform.vox.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/u…

  • They weight 650 grams…

    • +1

      With the mouthpiece…

      • 590 without, 667 with

  • Is it me or is Dyson just super gimmicky and expensive? Their cyclonic vacuums were great, but everything since is just rubbish

    • +1

      Don't know as can't afford any of their stuff usually

    • As with everything, it's subjective. What's gimmicky to you might be useful to others just like what's useful to you might be gimmicky to others.

      I like their tower fans and heaters as the design is nice and the wifi integration works very well with Home Assistant. Those are really useless gimmicky features to most of my friends so I would never recommend a Dyson fan to them unless they like the design, but those features are the main reason why I bought them. Used, of course.

      These headphones definitely look gimmicky in a country with good air quality but maybe people who live in heavily-polluted cities, or suffer from hayfever, or in a bushfire zone could find it useful.

  • Looks like HMPV is brewing in China—better grab this now, mask season might be back soon!

  • Your just asking for it if you wear this in public.

  • but actually its useful for some country are in serious air pollution.

  • +1

    Might be useful on a morning jog in New Delhi with all the winter smog.

  • Has anyone's order shipped yet?

    • Just right now got notification :)

    • Yes just now

  • +1

    I have seen an add on facebook where some is taking preorders for these headphones for 400$.

    • I've been seeing new eBay listings as well for these headphones haha

    • Whilst that's just ridiculous I suspect once they're gone moving on a lightly used pair for the same $200 won't be hard

  • +1

    Found this, if anyone wants to remove the filters and cups, to reduce the visual bulk / reduce the weight (or reduce your embarrassment and shame wearing them in public? lol):

    I actually dont mind the cheese-grater cups - it's the vibrant blue colourway that I find offensive! Lol. The prussian blue colourway looks way better, but that's a Dyson website exclusive unfortunately. I'm considering whether to plastidip spray the blue parts…

    • +1

      Nice! The colour is no issue for me, I mean it's only blue not hot pink haha. This is pretty cool though so will throw a bookmark in it :)

      • +1

        Haha - funny you say that: one thought I had was to get the pink ear cushions for the Dyson Ontrac, and then plastidip the blue into hot pink! If peeps are going to stare, make them stare! 🤣

        (But probably, I would just go matte black, lol)

        • +1

          To each their own I say mate! I'm looking forward to these for a laugh and if they sound better than my Bose qc35 I'll be very happy with the purchase :)

  • do you think it is great for mowing the lawn? any one try? I am using MS surface headphone for mowing the lawn now, seems ok. but with the dyson air purifier mask seems great protection for the dust / pollen , how often do they recommend to change the filter?

    • The blub says that it uses an electrostatic filter. Which will be overwhelmed really fast with all the crap generated when cutting grass, and expensive to replace.

      These Dyson headphone/facemasks products are just a terrible idea all round.

      A 3M half face respirator will look slightly less stupid, be cheaper, more comfortable, and far more effective.

  • +1

    keen to know how many ppl here canned these cans then bought a pair :P

  • How is the sound quality compared to other cans?

    • $799 price tag….make the Zone a bargain

  • +4

    They've also got the Explore Case version for the same price - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/dyson-zone-absolute-air-p…

    • +1

      That must be a new entry as it wasn't on the site previously.

    • Different colour right?

      • Not just that. The Absolute+ model has an extra set of filters, in flight adapter kit, a carry strap case and two extra pouches.

        Plus it has cheaper shipping cost for some reason.

        • +1

          Oh, right. Bugger then, should've bought that. I can't find any reviews of the two different cases online, do they have the same RRP?

          • +1

            @blam6: The quarter turn case is like a standard headphone case, with a nice locking mechanism. Would be smaller and more form fitting.

            The "explorer" case, I believe, is more like a small hard tote - like a single large pocket to carry everything in, with a shoulder strap.

            I would prefer the quarter turn case, personally. But I much much much prefer the colourway ob the Explorer version, and the accessories are a bonus!

            If I keep both, I'll use the explorer headphones with the quarter turn case for myself! 👍

            • @caprimulgus: Did you buy another?

              I'm thinking that and returning the other one. Is return postage free?

              • +1

                @abc: Yeah, I bought both. Will either return the other pair (if we can), or keep it. Havent decided.

                Actually - the two cases seem to be a similar size. Just a different style: clamshell headphone case vs hard satchel. I'd still prefer the quarter turn probably, but could live with either.

                • @caprimulgus: The Absolute+ is $100 more at RRP with the extra accessories it’s a no brainer if you only bought one.

                  • @abc: For me personally, the colourway is more important than the extra accessories. If the colours had been switched, I would take the dark blue with quarter turn over the bright blue with explorer case (and extra accessories).

                    I dislike the bright blue enough to plastidip them to get rid of the colour…so for me, it's the difference between having to do that, or being fine with the darker blue!

                    As I said, the extra stuff (In-Flight Kit, extra pouches) are a nice bonus, but I dont really care about them. YMMV.

    • Legend!!!

      My main problem was the vivid "ultra blue" colour in the other colourway…much prefer the more muted colour on this version! The extra accessories are just a bonus! 👍

    • Doh! Any idea on returns policy…

    • Dammit now I got 2 pairs on the way 🤣

  • There was also a price difference initially. Dyson Zone was 999$ and Dyson Zone Absolute+ was 1399$.

  • +2

    ordered one set and arrived today…it is heavy but not too bad when wear it. I won't use it on the move but don't mind to use them at my desk. The sound is pretty good and worth the price of $199

    • The sound is good, though it heats up my ear heaps with the padding. I like the fresh breeze in my face filtering out my dogs farts.
