Headphones, remastered: Introducing the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones

Today, Dyson unveils its first high-fidelity, audio-only headphones: the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones. Offering best-in-class noise cancellation¹, these headphones deliver up to 55 hours² of immersive listening.

With over 2,000 customisable colour 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 customisation.”

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 ¹ Battery Life with ANC

With up to 55-hour ¹ battery life, Dyson OnTrac™ provides up to two weeks of listening ² 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 Ergonomics4, 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.

Customisable with Durable Materials and Premium Finishes

The Dyson OnTrac™ comes in four colorways, each precision-crafted with unique, durable finishes designed by Jake Dyson and our CMF team. 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 colourways, you are able to customise your Dyson OnTrac™ with custom outer caps and ear cushions in various colours and finishes.

Launch Colourways – Available direct from www.dyson.ae and www.dyson.sa at AED 1,999 and SAR 1,999 respectively.

Available caps and cushions for customisation – Available direct from www.dyson.ae and www.dyson.sa

The outer caps are machined from high-grade aluminium, for a lightweight, durable finish in a range of colours and finishes – ceramic or anodised. The cushions will be priced at AED 199, and caps will be available for AED 249.

MyDyson™ App³

The MyDyson™ app³, includes real-time sound tracking that monitors in-ear and external volume, alerting users to potentially harmful levels. The MyDyson™ app³ also enables owners to choose between three custom EQ modes: Bass Boost, Neutral and Enhanced.

Additional Features

  • Head Detect: Capacitive sensors detect when earcups are removed from the ears, signalling to pause your audio. Audio resumes automatically once replaced.
  • Intuitive Joystick: Easily play, pause, skip, fast forward, and rewind tracks, or hold down for voice commands.
  • Crystal-Clear Calls: Dual beam-forming microphones pick up your voice clearly, not outside noise.
  • Real-time sound tracking: Continuously monitors in-ear and external volume, and indicates potentially harmful levels through live reports in the MyDyson™ App.
  • Controlled by the MyDyson™ app: The MyDyson™ app gives you automatic software updates.

Audio Research & Development

Dyson is known for pioneering new technologies, entering unexpected fields. Each project starts with fundamental research and a scientific understanding. Within the audio category, Dyson engineers prioritise preserving the integrity of sound. The goal is to reproduce sound as accurately as the original recording or mix, free from distortion or noise pollution. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of acoustics and psychoacoustics, which Dyson engineers have developed over years of creating products that move air. Dyson has built a world class team over 30 years with extensive knowledge of acoustic and noise reduction techniques. The team is constantly evolving, building knowledge around audio reproduction, noise cancelling, and electro-acoustic design.
