When it comes to health, being safe is always of the utmost importance, and when outside, wearing over-ear headphones with a mask isn’t the easiest of tasks. Meet the Dyson Zone. It’s officially the company’s first wearable air purifier that builds upon their 30-years of expertise in airflow, filtration, motor technologies and deep understanding of indoor / outdoor air quality. There are compressors in each earcup that draw air through the dual-layer filters and project two streams of purified air to the wearer’s nose as well as mouth, channeled through the non-contact visor. Read more for a short video, additional pictures and information.
The visor comes equipped with sculpted returns to ensure the purified airflow is kept near the nose and mouth, uninterrupted as possible by external crosswinds. Not just a wearable air purifier, the Zone also delivers rich, immersive audio, all the while blocking unwanted city noise thanks to advanced active noise cancelling (ANC), low distortion and a neutral frequency response. It’s expected to go on sale this Fall, priced between $600 – $1200 USD.

Air pollution is a global problem – it affects us everywhere we go. In our homes, at school, at work and as we travel, whether on foot, on a bike or by public or private transport. The Dyson Zone™ purifies the air you breathe on the move. And unlike face masks, it delivers a plume of fresh air without touching your face, using high-performance filters and two miniaturized air pumps. After six years in development, we’re excited to deliver pure air and pure audio, anywhere,” said Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer.
