A thought popped into my mind the other day: when was the last time a piece of tech launched that was so audacious, so leftfield in its thinking, so unlikely to be an actual hey-you-can-buy-it product? Google Glass was the obvious contender in my brain, the since-discontinued smart glasses from the search giant which caused all kinds of controversy.
But, no, that was a decade ago in 2013. Fast-forward to now and we've got the Dyson Zone: a headphones-meets-air-purifier product that absolutely does not look like a hey-you-can-buy-it product. But indeed you can if you're willing to part with £749 or $949. Which is a pretty incredible amount of money that surpasses even some of the best headphones on the market today.
