Dyson OnTrac may sound more like a vacuum than a pair of headphones, but it most certainly falls under the latter category. They claim to offer best-in-class noise cancellation and provide up to 55 hours of immersive listening time on a single charge with ANC turned on.
There are over 2,000 customizable color combinations for outer caps and ear cushions. Each ear cushion is crafted from ultra-soft microfiber and high-grade foam for superior comfort as well as a tight acoustic seal, while multipivot gimbal arms and a uniquely positioned battery in the headband ensure balanced weight distribution. Besides the customization, its Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm uses 8 microphones to sample external sound 384,000 times a second to cancel up to 40dB of unwanted noise. The 40mm, 16-ohm neodymium speaker drivers reproduce frequencies from as low as 6 Hertz to as high as 21,000 Hertz. A release date has not yet been set, but OnTrac will be priced from $499.99 USD.

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,” said Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer.
