Dyson announce new air-purifying headphones that filter pollution including gas

As we’re well aware, especially over the past few years, the air is becoming ever more polluted - so Dyson have created a world first with its latest launch.

Introducing Dyson Zone - a pair of noise cancelling, high fidelity over-ear headphones which deliver immersive sound to the ears, plus purified airflow to the nose and mouth.

As a result of over a decade of air quality research and development, the Dyson Zone air purifying headphones simultaneously tackle the urban issues of air quality and noise pollution.

How cool is that? And the latest type of technology is something that we’d expect from the genius brand of Dyson.

Dyson Zone will be available online and in stores this Autumn 2022, and is the latest development from Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer. Not only are the headphones a first for Dyson, but the world too.

The wearable purifier captures city pollution including gas, allergens and particulate matter and cancelling unwanted noise with advanced noise cancellation and pure, high-fidelity audio.

Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer said: “Air pollution is a global problem – it affects us everywhere we go. In our homes, at school, at work and as we travel, whether on foot, on a bike or by public or private transport. The Dyson Zone purifies the air you breathe on the move. And unlike face masks, it delivers a plume of fresh air without touching your face, using high-performance filters and two miniaturised air pumps. After six years in development, we’re excited to deliver pure air and pure audio, anywhere.”

The Dyson Zone air-purifying headphones are born from Dyson’s 30 years of expertise in airflow, filtration and motors technologies and deep understanding of indoor and outdoor air quality.

The compressors in each ear-cup draw air through the dual-layer filters and project two streams of purified air to the wearer’s nose and mouth, channelled through the non-contact visor. Sculpted returns on the visor ensure purified airflow is kept near to the nose and mouth and diluted as little as possible by external crosswinds.

Dyson’s team of audio engineers and acousticians sought to engineer excellent audio led by metrics, backed up with extensive listening trials. The result? Pure, rich audio and advanced noise cancellation.

Despite the space constraints inherent with a wearable device, Dyson engineers developed a high performing neodymium electroacoustic system within each ear-cup, leaving you with a wide frequency response - precise left-right balance and distortion significantly below what can be detected by the human ear.

For those that live or commute daily to the city, you won’t want to leave the house without them! We can’t wait to see what they think of next…
