Dyson air purifying headphones

An initial reveal of the Zone headphones comes without details on cost or battery life, nor how much the headset weighs.

The two-stage purification system is "capable of filtering city fumes and pollutants" and uses a miniaturised version of Dyson's existing air purification technology. Dyson said it started having internal conversations in 2016 about developing some kind of "purification on the move" technology, based on its existing air purification technology. An initial reveal of the Zone headphones - the first headphones Dyson has released - doesn't come with many specifics about cost or battery life, nor how much the headset weighs.

According to Dyson, the solution to this age-old problem is a pair of noise cancelling over-ear headphones, which double up as a personal purifier for your nose ...

Some of the best wireless noise-cancelling headphones cost over £200, while Dyson’s air purifiers can cost up to £600. Whatever it is, we’re intrigued to try the Dyson zone out for ourselves (stay tuned). The company hasn’t revealed a price for the zone either, but we expect it to be a pretty pricey device. While the Dyson zone is scheduled to be released this autumn, you can’t currently pre-order the strange-looking gadget. The compressors pull in the air, filters it and then pipes it through the visor, allowing the wearer to breathe in fresh air. The Dyson zone is just one product in a laundry list of innovative gadgets launched by the company in recent years, though the zone might be the most bizarre one. Called the Dyson zone, this weird gadget secures you inside a bubble, free from air and noise pollution.

Yes, the vacuum cleaner company is releasing headphones.

Ever wish you could pull off your flawless impression of Bane (Tom Hardy) from Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012) while also listening to the new Machine Gun Kelly album and breathing fresh air? This’ll be a boon for people returning to crowded, stinky mass transit, though it also may be ineffective if you’re also choosing to wear a face mask (obviously the Dyson Zone will do nothing to prevent the spread of Covid-19, and doesn’t pretend to). Though most famous for their vacuum cleaners, hair tools (like the Airwrap), and air purifiers, the pivot to headphones isn’t as surprising as it first seems: with more and more people returning to work and daily commutes, the chance to breathe easier in more public, polluted, and smelly settings is an attractive notion for people who’ve gotten used to the comforting smells of their own home.

Anyone for a pollution mask that doubles as a pair of wireless ANC headphones? Here's the lowdown on the Dyson Zone.

Last but not least, Dyson says today's announcement is the "first step into the exciting and ever-innovating world of audio." Airborne viruses aside, Dyson hopes its pollution-busting headphones will improve the quality of the air we breathe in urban areas. The headphones connect via Bluetooth but Dyson is yet to reveal any battery life info.

If you're a lover of Dyson, we have some exciting news. The mega brand is set to release Air-Purifying Headphones in fall 2022.

Removing 99.97% of pollutants and allergens as small as 0.3 microns, the Dyson Pure Cool is unlike any other air purifier out there. Well, lucky you, because this Dyson heater and fan multitasks to bring you superior warmth and clean air. Once they are, people can score the new device online and in Dyson Demo Stores. Sometimes — or most of the time —$930 just isn’t possible, so opt for this refurbished Airwrap stylers on the Dyson site instead. One can only assume this is a response to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, but we have to remember quality air has been a vital necessity since years prior. Though, there’s still a lot more to be discovered about Dyson’s latest launch, like what the headphones do, how they works, when they’re set to be released and more.
