Best-in-Class Noise Cancellation

To create an optimal listening environment, the Dyson OnTrac™ features a custom Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm which uses 8 microphones, sampling external sound 384,000 times a second. This combines with superior materials and carefully designed internal geometry to cancel up to 40dB of unwanted noise.

Enhanced Sound Range

With 40mm, 16-ohm neodymium speaker drivers and advanced audio signal processing, the Dyson OnTrac™ ensures that every note or word is delivered with precision. The headphones reproduce frequencies from as low as 6 Hertz to as high as 21,000 Hertz, providing deep sub-bass that you can feel, and clear highs at the upper end of the frequency range.Meanwhile, the speaker housing tilted 13˚ towards the ear for a more direct audio response.

55-Hour ¹ Battery Life with ANC

With up to 55-hour ¹ battery life, Dyson OnTrac™ provides up to two weeks of listening ² even with ANC enabled.

The two high-capacity lithium-ion battery cells are suspended in the headband for more even weight distribution. To switch between ANC on and off, simply double-tapon either ear cup.

Engineered for All-Day Comfort and Acoustics

Certified comfortable by US Ergonomics4, Dyson OnTrac™ unites comfort and acoustics with precision. Select materials and ergonomic design ensure a superior acoustic seal and lasting comfort. High-grade foam cushions and multi-pivot gimbal arms relieve ear pressure, while battery positioning in the headband evenly distributes weight. Soft micro-suede ear cushions and optimized clamp force provide a consistent fit across diverse head sizes.

Customisable with Durable Materials and Premium Finishes

The Dyson OnTrac™ comes in four colorways, each precision-crafted with unique, durable finishes designed by Jake Dyson and our CMF team. Inspired by the CNC manufacturing process, options include CNC Aluminium, Copper, and Nickel. The Ceramic Cinnabar variant has a ceramic-feel painted finish. In addition to these four colourways, you are able to customise your Dyson OnTrac™ with custom outer caps and ear cushions in various colours and finishes.

Available caps and cushions for customisation - The outer caps are machined from high-grade aluminium, for a lightweight, durable finish in a range of colours and finishes – ceramic or anodised.

Audio Research & Development

Dyson is known for pioneering new technologies, entering unexpected fields. Each project starts with fundamental research and a scientific understanding. Within the audio category, Dyson engineers prioritise preserving the integrity of sound. The goal is to reproduce sound as accurately as the original recording or mix, free from distortion or noise pollution. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of acoustics and psychoacoustics, which Dyson engineers have developed over years of creating products that move air. Dyson has built a world class team over 30 years with extensive knowledge of acoustic and noise reduction techniques. The team is constantly evolving, building knowledge around audio reproduction, noise cancelling, and electro-acoustic design.

Priced at INR 44,900, the Dyson OnTrac™ headphones are available at Dyson.in and Dyson demo stores across India.
