Dyson Zone noise-cancelling headphones launched in India at Rs 59,900: See specs

The headphones also boast a long battery life of up to 50 hours of continuous playback, which can be fully charged in just three hours. They are equipped with 11 microphones, eight of which are used to reduce noise pollution by up to 38dB.

The design of the Dyson Zone headphones is also unique – Dyson says it’s inspired by the shape and design of a horse’s saddle. The headphones are designed to distribute weight evenly across both sides of the head, rather than the top. They are also deliberately flatter than conventional headphones, both for noise reduction and comfort.

The headphones have a ‘transparent’ mode that allows users to monitor surrounding noise and communicate with others without removing the headphones. The headphones also have an additional microphone for telephony, calling, recording or voice control, which provides greater clarity in voice transmission while rejecting noise from the user’s environment.

But perhaps the most innovative feature of the Dyson Zone headphones is the removable visor that projects purified air when travelling in polluted urban areas or on public transport. The compressors located in each earcup draw air through the double-layer filters and project two streams of purified air to the user’s nose and mouth, channelled through the non-contact visor. Electrostatic filters remove particles as small as 0.1 microns, while activated carbon filters absorb gases such as nitrogen dioxide from urban pollution.

The Dyson Zone comes in two variants: the standard edition and the Absolute+ edition. Both variants come in two colours: Ultra Blue and Prussian Blue for the standard edition, and Prussian Blue and Bright Copper for the Absolute+ edition. The Dyson Zone headphones feature electrostatic carbon filters, a visor cleaning brush, a USB-C charging cable and a visor sleeve. You can buy them online at Dyson.in or at any Dyson Demo store. The standard edition costs Rs 59,900, while the Absolute+ edition costs Rs 64,900.
