Dyson has introduced its initial high-fidelity, audio-only headphones: the Dyson OnTrac headphones. With advanced noise cancellation, these headphones provide up to 55 hours of immersive listening.
Offering over 2,000 customisable colour combinations for outer caps and ear cushions, each ear cushion has been made from ultra-soft microfiber and high-quality foam for superior comfort and acoustic seal.
Multipivot gimbal arms and a uniquely positioned battery in the headband ensure even weight distribution.
“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,” said Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer.
“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.”
To create an optimal listening environment, the Dyson OnTrac features a custom Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm that uses eight microphones, sampling external sound 384,000 times a second. This, combined with superior materials and carefully designed internal geometry, cancels up to 40dB of unwanted noise.
With 40mm, 16-ohm neodymium speaker drivers and advanced audio signal processing, the Dyson OnTrac ensures that every note or word is delivered precisely. The headphones reproduce frequencies from as low as 6 Hertz to as high as 21,000 Hertz, providing deep sub-bass you can feel and clear highs at the upper end of the frequency range.
The speaker housing is tilted 13˚ towards the ear for a more direct audio response. The two high-capacity lithium-ion battery cells, each weighing just 30g, are suspended in the headband for a more even weight distribution.
High-grade foam cushions and multi-pivot gimbal arms relieve ear pressure, while battery positioning in the headband evenly distributes weight. Soft micro-suede ear cushions and optimised clamp force provide a consistent fit across diverse head sizes.
Capacitive sensors detect when earcups are removed from the ears, signalling to pause your audio. Audio resumes automatically once replaced, and dual beam-forming microphones pick up your voice clearly, not outside noise.
The Dyson OnTrac is available in four colours: CNC Aluminium, CNC Copper, CNC Nickel and Ceramic Cinnabar. You can also personalise your Dyson OnTrac with custom outer caps and ear cushions in various colours and finishes.
