You’ll soon be able to wear a Dyson out on the streets. Known for their range of household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, lights and bladeless fans as well as cult-favourite hairstyling tools like hair dryers and multi-stylers, Dyson is launching their first ever “wearable purifier”: the Dyson Zone.
First announced earlier this year in March, the Dyson Zone is a set of high-fidelity over-ear headphones that offers active noise cancellation (ANC). But unlike other ANC headphones currently in the market, the Dyson Zone has a notable addition: an air-purifying detachable face visor for purified airflow to the nose and mouth.
Designed to “simultaneously tackle the urban issues of air quality and noise pollution”, the Dyson Zone was created after six years of research and development.
The headphones will first be released in China, where they are expected to hit the stores starting January 2023. Singapore, which will be the first within Southeast Asia to unveil the Dyson Zone, as well as the US, UK and Hong Kong, will have to wait till March 2023 for the headphones to be available. The Dyson Zone is priced starting from £749 (SG$1240), but the exact local pricing will only be confirmed in Q1 2023.
Wondering how the noise-cancelling headphones will work? We break it down, below.
