Dyson unveils its first audio-only headphones: the Dyson OnTrac

You might know this tech brand for its vacuums and hairdryers, but this time, it’s on its way to making a mark on the headphone space with the introduction of the Dyson OnTrac. It’s the first high-fidelity, audio-only headphones, offering best-in-class noise cancellation and delivering up to 55 hours of immersive listening.

The Dyson OnTrac takes customization to another level with over 2,000 color combinations for outer caps and ear cushions. Each ear cushion is crafted from ultra-soft microfiber and high-grade foam for superior comfort and acoustic seal. Multi-pivot gimbal arms and a uniquely positioned battery in the headband ensure balanced weight distribution.

Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer: “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. Our first over-ear audio-only headphones deliver best-in-class ANC, exceptional sound quality, and all-day comfort through unique materials, design and customization.”

Best-in-class noise cancellation

To create an optimal listening environment, the Dyson OnTrac features a custom Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm which uses 8 microphones, sampling external sound 384,000 times a second. This combines with superior materials and carefully designed internal geometry to cancel up to 40dB of unwanted noise.

Enhanced sound range

With 40mm, 16-ohm neodymium speaker drivers and advanced audio signal processing, the Dyson OnTrac ensures that every note or word is delivered with precision. The headphones reproduce frequencies from as low as 6 Hertz to as high as 21,000 Hertz, providing deep sub-bass that you can feel, and clear highs at the upper end of the frequency range. Meanwhile, the speaker housing tilted 13˚ towards the ear for a more direct audio response.

55-hour battery life with ANC 

With up to 55-hour battery life, Dyson OnTrac provides up to two weeks of listening even with ANC enabled. The two high-capacity lithium-ion battery cells are suspended in the headband for more even weight distribution. To switch between ANC on and off, simply double tap on either ear cup.

Engineered for all-day comfort and acoustics

Certified comfortable by US Ergonomics, Dyson OnTrac unites comfort and acoustics with precision. Select materials and ergonomic design ensure a superior acoustic seal and lasting comfort. High-grade foam cushions and multi-pivot gimbal arms relieve ear pressure, while battery positioning in the headband evenly distributes weight. Soft micro-suede ear cushions and optimized clamp force provide a consistent fit across diverse head sizes. 

Customizable with durable materials and premium finishes

The Dyson OnTrac comes in four colorways, each precision-crafted with unique, durable finishes designed by Jake Dyson. Inspired by the CNC manufacturing process, options include CNC Aluminium, Copper, and Nickel. The Ceramic Cinnabar variant has a ceramic-feel painted finish. In addition to these four colorways, you can customize your Dyson OnTrac with custom outer caps and ear cushions in various colors and finishes.

Colorways

Available caps and cushions for customization – The outer caps are machined from high-grade aluminium, for a lightweight, durable finish in a range of colours and finishes – ceramic or anodised. Pricing and availability details will be shared soon. 

MyDyson App

The MyDyson app, includes real-time sound tracking that monitors in-ear and external volume, alerting users to potentially harmful levels. The MyDyson app also enables owners to choose between three custom EQ modes: Bass Boost, Neutral and Enhanced.
