Dyson Zone Absolute+ air-purifying headphones review (non-influencer)

Figured I'd lend my non youtube/social media influencer review on these cans. I bought them with my own bread and I don't have any compensation from Dyson or anyone.I've had mine closing on two weeks now. My daily cans are AKG N90Q. Those are also big. I've never used apples earphones so can't compare but the dyson is on par with the ANC of the AKGs.The ear cups feel like marshmallows around your ears and the weight is uniform. They are not heavy to me and I can wear them for longer than an hour with no headaches or neck pain, they don't feel like your head is in a vice.Battery life is not the greatest when you run the filter on moderate, which is the max setting. Dyson mention this in their documentation so it's not a shock. If no music is playing, you hear a subtle whirrrrrr of the fans when the filter is on low/auto/siting. If you play classical music and you have the filter on the highest setting, you may hear some white noise from the fan. I'm a fan (no pun) of Philip Glass and on

Dyson Zone Parts, App, and Feedback!

Hi all,Thank you for having me. Loving my Zone so far. Wish I was able to get the Absolute+ for the copper colored mask and extras. Dyson should sell the extras, or at least the airplane aux cable w/ charging. Would love if you’d sell the Absolute+ mask too, I see having extra masks as being valuable!Secondly, I know it’s quite soon, but I’d like to understand the filter life and replacement cost. I cannot find the filters on Dyson even when navigating to “replace” through the app. Hoping they’re reasonable as the price tag for the Zone is a little hefty.Lastly, if app devs could allow you to further customize the audio equalizer, that’d be totally killer. Other suggestions, maybe a battery life estimation before the purification turns off.Loving these flashy, innovative headphones - as I’ve seen and agree, THE AIR SMELLS GOOD.Thanks!

Dyson Headphones - Why are there still no replacement filters after 2-months?

I purchased the headphones over 2 months ago, and saw that there were no replacements then. There are still none, at least in the USA. https://www.dyson.com/support/headphones/zone Is there an ETA? @Stuart

Intended use case for Dyson Zone?

Hi,I was curious why Dyson decided to pair headphones with air purification, to design this product. Dyson has done air purification, but not audio before to my knowledge. Why make this bet on air purification headphones when there are already n95 masks out there? I think I do see a long more young people wear over the ear headphones these days. Was the idea to add purification for those that enjoy listening to music on the go? I think I saw a photo of James Dyson wearing these on the Tube. I think wearing these in a stuffy or smelly subway, especially like NYC for example, would make sense. But only for those that are bold enough. Clearly these are very conspicuous devices, and I’m wondering what Dyson’s thoughts are on the willingness of people to wear something like this. I’m not sure if covid and the normalization of masks was related. Thank you,Henry

Dyson Zone - Unboxing/ReviewSPOTLIGHTED POST

I came across this community while scrolling on Reddit! Great to see the Zone’s featured. Very extensive information, I specifically like the Dyson Zone™️ headphones: Getting started | Dyson Community post. I’m sure there’s a bunch of you already on Reddit, so you might have seen this review already. I thought I'd share it either way. (Dyson Zone) Love these things, the Air Purification works amazingly..“The sound quality is better than the AirPods Max. The weight of the headphones do not bother me at all. I have had them on my head for over 6 hours with no pressure points.Included cables are excellent quality with the ability to Charge and listen at the same time while wired.No noticeable delay in audio, able to watch videos and movies.”

CAD/Dimensions of Zone for 3D Printing

Hello!I could try and find my calipers and do this all manually.. however, to avoid potentially scuffing my headphones and for more accuracy.. I am inquiring if I can get a drawing/dimensions/3D CAD files, essentially whatever I am allowed to have.I want to start designing files for 3d printing such as a custom stand, compact case (similar to airpods max), and some mask efficiency designs. Anything helps, thanks!

Dyson Zone LED lights

I absolutely love my Dyson zone, but over the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed different LED charging lights. Sometimes it slowly pulses white, Other times it slowly pulses yellow, and sometimes it’s solid green. I assume solid green is charged. But what’s the white and yellow? Also, does anyone know if there is a way to contact Dyson in regards to feature requests or product feedback?

Was totally in the "Zone" today...

Just a quick shout out to All Zone users and those on the sidelines thinking about getting a pair.I’m a cinematographer and many times I am out in some gnarly locations (“whatever it takes to get the shot!”) but most always when out in the elements where you can’t control the air (ie, in an air conditioned location) there are at least some smells you encounter.Today I was out in Hollywood 17 stories up on a roof of a building for a shoot. Because we are outside, there are areas one can smoke, etc., but with the way the winds blow, you can go from upwind to downwind in a blast of cigar smoke in a matter of a second or thrice. This was a good use for my Dyson Zone cans. They did not disappoint. I really really likes these and yes the air still smellllllssssss freessshhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! 🤓 The real MVP

Headphones - Is the App AQ metrics broken?

Went for a walk in Chicago. The smoke has made the air quality some of the worst in the world. Yet the app has the air quality as 0.4. The same it is inside, the same it is all of the time. What gives? Are other people noticing this? I wonder if my device is faulty in some way.

Why do headphones only come in one ugly color?

As amazing as the features of the Dyson headphones sound, the color alone is enough to prevent me from purchasing. Why can’t Dyson create headphones in a variety of colors? Personally, the Blush/Copper color that the new hair tools come in is absolutely beautiful. Why not make pink headphones as well? I’d purchase those in a heartbeat. Any thoughts?

I’m debating purchasing the Dyson headphones once they launch in the UK. I travel on average 2 - 3 times a months internationally, back and forth Asia and Europe.Does anyone know if I can use the audio function on a flight/the purification part without a problem?Is there any guidance in the operational material or box? I can’t find anything on the UK website. Thanks in advance. (Moderation Edit - Title Updated)

DJ'in' with the Zones... Images included

So, I dabble in a lot of things, and this past weekend I DJ’ed a birthday party. I usually use either my Sennheiser HD 25’s or my AKG N90Q’s, but decided to test this 8 hour party with the Zones.TL;DR - I was not disappointed.Something I like to do is put the headphones on top of my head (off my ears) so I can hear the room. The Dyson headband is strong enough to “hold in place” when I put the phones on my head ( meaning the ear cups are pressed against my head as if my head was listening.. does that make sense?) so I can quickly assess the audio and make a tweak if need be. Because they also flip out they can lay flat on my DJ controller which is a plus.I connected the charging cable, mainly to see if it would interfere with my operating, and it was not a problem. The cans will last for hours if you are not using filtration ( I did not use any filtration this time -- just as headphones) but still wanted to see how I got on with it should I ever find myself needing to connect them to s

Need to add some functions to the zone + app

For starters, I would buy the airplane adapter if it was in stock, but we really need a more “permanent” option for wired use, especially since it’s not likely Dyson is going to support this super low volume niche product forever and the batteries are non-replaceable, being able to use them wired for long term support is just an important part. They’re built like tanks and sound incredible, but batteries wear out and it’d suck to have thousand dollar paperweights. Also nothing can do proper multipoint and I just want a wired connection when I’m at my laptop. It’s so much more convenient.Just firmware them to wire their internal DAC to receive data from usb-c. They have a dac inside them already and with the airplane adapter existing, definitely are able to decode. It’s a nice feature to sell that charge + data cable, but if it’s not included with the headphones, we need to be able to use usb-c at a minimum. Also, provide a custom EQ slider for users with 6 or 8 sliders. The zones have

Dyson Zone is a Christmas Miracle for people with MCS/Fragrance Sensitivity

So I wrote this on Reddit but thought I’d post it here as well for anyone looking for impressions from somebody who has insane levels of scent sensitivity: Okay so ever since the first day I saw the Dyson Zone announced, I've wanted a pair. I know for a lot of people even after all the mask stuff related to covid were still worried about looking weird wearing them. And realistically, if you're someone who never has issues with air quality, or is a smoker, or in general do horrible things to your lungs on the regular, you won't see the value in this product. Without the visor they're just a set of very good headphones. But at the same time, you can get very good headphones for much cheaper.There are however people for whom this product will be life-changing. It is estimated that up to 30% of the population exhibit varying levels of negative reactions to perfume and other airborne irritants. This is often expressed as either migraines, asthma attacks or headaches.Me? I get migraines. Isn
