Dyson Zone: What’s the strangest product of the year?
When Dyson first revealed it was working on new products in the wearables and audio space, many thought it was an April Fool’s joke. I have been working on this device for over a year. Patent published in February 2020 (opens in new tab) .
The decision makes sense given the coronavirus pandemic. At that time, masks were becoming a daily essential item for everyone around the world. Air pollution However, Dyson has already made that clear. Masks cannot filter Covid-19 –Although there is a medical grade face mask attachment.
News about the Dyson Zone really started to pick up steam last year. The company originally planned to launch the device in late 2022, but it has been pushed back to March 2023. Of course, this was late by now, but Released product specs gave us some time to figure out what these odd-looking headphones have to offer.
(Image credit: Dyson) Dyson boasts that it has noise-cancelling capabilities, which are touted as advanced as they monitor external noise at a rate of up to 384,000 times per second using eight built-in microphones. They also claim to have full-spectrum audio with frequencies ranging from 6Hz to 21kHz and up to 50 hours of battery life.
The company also claims that the air filter mask works by working together two motors housed in round ear cups, along with a compressor fan and dual filters in front of a person’s mouth (but this is your do not touch their faces). .

Reviews so far
Dyson Zone’s initial reviews have been pretty mixed so far. The product appears to be an air filter mask first and a pair of headphones second.Indeed, The Verge (opens in new tab) They said the setup time was long and the filter killed the battery. I was also told that the mic had a “tiny” sound.
On the other hand, CNET (opens in new tab) said in its review that the headphones have excellent sound quality and “good enough battery life for music.” However, I do agree with The Verge in criticizing the high price and extremely heavy build.
As more people pick up the Dyzon Zone, we may gain more insight into how it works as both a headphone and an air purifying mask. In fact, it may turn out to be the ability to suppress odors.
