Dyson has announced its latest foray into the world of audio with the introduction of the OnTrac, a new pair of over-the-ear headphones. This release marks a departure from the company’s previous design, eschewing the unconventional air purifier attachment featured in their Dyson Zone model.
Dubbed OnTrac, these innovative headphones distinguish themselves as purely “audio-only” devices. This design evolution aims to provide users with a high-quality auditory experience without the visual and functional complexities of their predecessor.
“Dyson’s audio engineering mission is to preserve the integrity of the artist’s sound wave, free from interference. We also wanted to create a set of headphones that people would cherish, be excited by, and be proud of. With over 30 years of experience in aeroacoustics, we’ve mastered sound physics. By reducing noise through in-house anechoic chambers and expert engineers, we’ve applied and further expanded our audio knowledge to develop the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones. Our first over-ear audio only headphones deliver best-in-class ANC, exceptional sound quality, and all-day comfort through unique materials, design and customisation.” Jake Dyson – Chief Engineer, Dyson
The OnTrac headphones offer an exceptional level of customisation. Users can personalise their listening experience by swapping out ear cushions and the outer caps of the earcups, with four initial colour options available at launch. Dyson has promised that additional colour choices will be introduced in the future, allowing for even greater personalisation.
In terms of performance, Dyson has integrated several features expected in a premium headset. The OnTrac headphones boast advanced noise-canceling technology capable of reducing up to 40 decibels of ambient noise, ensuring an immersive listening experience. Additionally, the battery life is notably impressive, offering up to 55 hours of use on a single charge under normal conditions.
While the OnTrac headphones have yet to hit the market, Dyson has not specified a release date. The anticipation for their arrival is palpable among audio enthusiasts and loyal Dyson customers alike.
