DYSON – ONTRAC HEADPHONES
2024-07-15Dyson has announced its first-ever set of audio-only headphones, OnTrac, a follow up to its hybrid headphones-meets-air-purifier product from 2023, the Dyson Zone, that drew comparisons to Bane and featured in our best headphones round-up earlier this year. With a singular focus on sound this time, the brand has built on its audio debut and delivered improved battery life, noise-cancelling and newly introduced customisation options, putting the new OnTrac headphones on par with the best flagship devices available from other brands.
Amongst the new product’s many attributes, Dyson is touting the OnTrac’s active noisae-cancelling (ANC) as “best-in-class” and the headphones feature eight onboard microphones that sample external sound around the user at an astonishing rate of 384,000 times per second. This is then processed by a new, custom-built ANC algorithm that works together with the headphones’ carefully considered design, construction and material choice to “cancel up to 40dB of unwanted noise.” And, with the MyDyson app (iOS / Android), users are able measure and record the levels of noise they’re exposed to, helping to promote healthy listening habits as well as track noise overexposure.
