Starting in March 2023, Dyson Zone active noise cancelling and air purifying headphones will be available for $949 (about ₹78,000).
This ambitious Dyson proof-of-concept device demonstrates how air quality and air purification need not be restricted to the home environment by fusing conventional wireless active noise-canceling headphones with a condensed portable air filtration system.
This air filtration system does not produce an airtight seal, making it insufficient as a mask alternative or as suitable defence against bacteria and viruses carried in the air. It does, however, aid in the reduction of common air pollutants, such as acidic gases linked to urban pollution and particulate matter as fine as 0.1 millimetres.
In terms of audio capabilities, the Dyson Zone has active noise cancellation with a claimed noise reduction of up to 38dB, thanks to 11 microphones built into the headset.
We do not yet know if Dyson plans to launch these headphones in India.
