What comes to mind when we talk about Dyson? The Dyson hair dryer, Dyson Airwrap or Dyson vacuum, you would probably say. But the British lifestyle purveyor is about to upend your perception with its first-ever high fidelity, audio only headphones (yes, audio only) — and a pair that definitely makes a fashion statement.
Enter the Dyson OnTrac — a technological feat packed with exceptional features, designed to serve as a vessel for artists’ unbridled creativity and expressive sound. “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,” shares Jake Dyson, the chief engineer.
Featuring a custom Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm, the Dyson OnTrac stands out with its groundbreaking noise reduction capabilities. The headphones are equipped with eight microphones, which sample external sound 384,000 times per second. Together with superior materials and carefully designed internal geometry, the headphones are able to cancel up to 40dB of unwanted noise.
The Dyson latest offering also boasts an enhanced sound range, delivering rich, impressive audio that gives your ears an adrenaline rush. At its core are 40mm, 16-ohm neodymium speaker drivers and advanced audio signal processing, enabling the Dyson OnTrac to deliver every note or word with precision. With the speaker housing tilted 13˚ towards the ear, the Dyson OnTrac offers a more direct sound projection, as if one is listening to a live performance. Plus, its long-lasting battery life of up to 55 hours means one will get to enjoy two weeks of listening time, even with ANC enabled.
This launch couldn’t come at a better time. Riding the wave of the internet’s obsession with chunky headphones, the OnTrac ticks the boxes of the over-the-head “cans” that went viral on TikTok as a fashion statement. Available in four colourways including CNC Aluminium, CNC Copper, CNC Black Nickel and Ceramic Cinnabar (only Copper and Black Nickel are available in Malaysia), the striking headphones are more than just audio gear; they are a fashion accessory that instantly elevates any outfit.
That’s not all. With a wide selection of colours for the ear cushions and outer caps, we can choose from over 2,000 customisable combinations to match our outfits. Talk about an embarrassment of riches.
If you are looking for a ride-or-die pair that can blast your favourite songs and complete your looks at the same time, the Dyson OnTrac might just be it.
The Dyson OnTrac is now available at Dyson Stores and www.dyson.my.
