Dyson has recently unveiled its latest headphone model, the Dyson OnTrac, which promises superior audio quality and what it claims to be top-tier noise cancellation.
Dyson OnTrac Headphones: Specs & Features
The OnTrac is equipped with an 8-microphone system and a custom Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm that can cancel out up to 40dB of ambient noise. The headphones deliver high-fidelity audio with a broad frequency range from 6Hz to 21kHz, ensuring clear highs and rich bass.
Comfort has been prioritized in the design, featuring ultra-soft microfiber cushions, multi-pivot gimbal arms for a snug fit, and balanced weight distribution thanks to a uniquely placed battery in the headband. Additionally, users can personalize their headphones with over 2,000 color combinations for ear cups and caps, available in finishes like CNC aluminum, copper, nickel, or a ceramic-feel painted option.
Battery Life and Connectivity
The battery life is notably long, offering up to 55 hours of use with ANC on, which equates to about two weeks of listening on a single charge. The MyDyson app provides functionalities to monitor sound levels, adjust EQ settings (Bass Boost, Neutral, Enhanced), and receive automatic software updates.
Additional Features
- Head Detect: Automatically pauses audio when the headphones are removed and resumes when they are put back on.
- Intuitive Joystick: Allows users to play, pause, skip tracks, or activate voice commands.
- Crystal-Clear Calls: Dual beam-forming microphones ensure clear voice capture.
- Real-time Soundtracking: Monitors both in-ear and external volume levels, alerting users to potentially harmful levels via the MyDyson app.
The Dyson OnTrac headphones are priced at $499.99, with additional ear cup and cap colors available for $49.99 each.
