The Dyson Zone noise-canceling and air-purifying headphones have been on the radar since it was announced earlier this year. While some details were lacking during the announcement, Dyson has now provided some of the missing information. The battery capacity, availability information, and price of the headphones were not divulged at that time.
The Dyson Zone mask headphones will be available in two color options – Ultra Blue/Prussian Blue and Prussian Blue/Bright Copper. The gadget will be available on pre-order but the pre-order process will be by appointment. The Prussian Blue/Bright Copper color variant of the headphones will only be available directly from Dyson. It will come with a few additional features and capabilities like a second electrostatic carbon filter. The electrostatic filters can be used for up to 12 months before they can be replaced. Other extras are a soft pouch and an in-flight adaptor kit. Both models however come with a visor and a dedicated sleeve as well as a cleaning brush.
The air purifier system for the Zone mask headphones has a dual-layer design with Potassium –enriched carbon to remove acidic gases. The filters are claimed to be 99.99% effective and is able to block 99% of particles.
The Zone noise-canceling and air-purifying headphones offer up to 38dB noise cancelation and are equipped with 40mm neodymium drivers. Audio equalization customization can be accomplished using the MyDyson app. There are three equalization options namely Dyson EQ, Bass Boost, and Neutral. The headphones support Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.
The gadget has a 2,600mAh battery and the battery life depends on the duration of use of the air filtration system. It can provide up to 50 hours of playback when filtration is not used. The battery life is significantly reduced to 2.5 hours when used with the visor.
Dyson says the Zone air-purifying headphones will arrive on the US market in March 2023. As per pricing, the gadget will start at a princely $945. The huge price tag of the Zone headphones makes it almost double the price of the AirPods Max. It will be available via Dyson’s website and Demo stores across the United States.
