The Dyson OnTrac is Cleaning Up the Headphones Market
High-tech lifestyle ANC headphones.
They won’t clean your house, but the Dyson OnTrac headphones will give you a stylish look while enjoying your favourite Spotify playlists.
If the British lifestyle tech manufacturer, Dyson, puts as much time and effort into headphones as vacuum cleaners, we’re in for a treat. Let’s take a closer look at the OnTrac ANC headphones.

According to Dyson, the active noise canceling system inside the OnTrac headphones samples audio at a rate of 384,000 times per second to reduce noise levels by up to 40 dB with 8 onboard sampling mics.
When in use, the OnTrac headphones run off a dual lithium-ion battery system (2 x 2,540 mAh) which gives you up to 55 hours of ANC playback time. This is an impressive figure, as it exceeds many competing headphone models’ standard playback battery time (without ANC active).
Furthermore, the reported frequency range is 6Hz to 21kHz, and a range of audio codecs such as AAC, SBC, and LDAC are supported. For optimized audio performance, the 40mm neodymium drivers are tilted at an angle of 13 degrees.
Meanwhile, the soft earpads have been designed using microfiber and high-quality foam for enhanced comfort and isolation. The OnTracs are available in four different colour options, but you can customize the design by choosing from a range of interchangeable earpads and ear cap shells.

Dyson’s audio engineering mission is to preserve the integrity of the artist’s sound wave, free from interference. We also wanted to create a set of headphones that people would cherish, be excited by, and be proud of.
With over 30 years of experience in aeroacoustics, we’ve mastered sound physics. By reducing noise through in-house anechoic chambers and expert engineers, we’ve applied and further expanded our audio knowledge to develop the Dyson OnTrac headphones.
Our first over-ear audio-only headphones deliver best-in-class ANC, exceptional sound quality, and all-day comfort through unique materials, design, and customization.
