Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer at Dyson told StereoNET:
"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."
The headphones have a unique customisation feature with swappable outer caps and ear cushions, with CNC Aluminium, Copper, Nickel and Ceramic Cinnabar colourways. The ear cushions are made with high-grade foam for comfort and a soft micro-suede covering. Thanks to Dyson putting the battery in the headband, the weight of the headphones are supposed to be evenly distributed, making for a more comfortable wearing experience.
Inside, 40mm neodymium drivers are tilted at a 13˚ angle towards the ear, with a frequency response from 6hz to 21kHz. In our previous review of the Dyson Zone, we were impressed with the sound quality considering it was Dyson’s first attempt at an audio product. We’re definitely looking forward to seeing how the Dyson OnTrac does.
Other software features include wearing detection, dual beam-forming microphones for voice calls and real-time sound tracking to indicate possibly harmful levels noise levels. All this is available through Dyson’s MyDyson companion app, along with custom EQ modes.
The Dyson OnTrac headphones will be available around August 2024, with a recommended retail price of £450.
