Dyson OnTrac™ Headphones, CNC Copper

I researched headphones in this category quite heavily, especially for not being an audiophile. But I wanted to make sure i would get headphones that I would actually use. At this price, I didn’t want expensive paperweights. If it isn’t comfortable or useful, I would have wasted money. Even after it arrived, I didn’t open it for a week, pondering whether I had made the right choice. Finally I decided to stick with my initial decision and keep them. Glad I did! They’re comfortable, block out almost all noise, and the sound quality is excellent. The app now allows for custom EQ settings, so complaints about poor EQ presets are moot. The build is excellent, and of course the battery life is endless. Some care only about audio quality, but these aren’t dedicated studio headphones. They’re meant to block noise, be portable, comfortable, and not require a lot of thought or effort to use. They check all those boxes, and have excellent sound quality too. The bass is deep and the high notes ring clear. Yes, they are pricey, but I think the quality and versatility, not to mention impressive battery life, justify that cost.

Amazing headphones. I would say there aren't many that have more high end, hifi, and Bluetooth headphones than me. I am not going to get technical, this is for the average user. I have 2 pair of these and 4 covers, 5 different pads. The way they are designed with the battery in the headband is brilliant (suprise, its Dyson). The battery life is up there with the best. It's not the best, but way above average. The sound is fantastic, crank them up and just enjoy! I feel its very well balanced, plenty of bass and crisp highs. With over 100 pairs of headphones and Bluetooth from Sony original 1000 and v4, B&w, B&o, Bose 35, 700 and UC, Sonos and more, plus wired, but those are a different cat. I have 2k Meze that give me goosebumps lol. So, simply comparing to Bluetooth and most of the major ones, I find myself listening to these the most. I program, so they come to work with me more than anything. Best for last, the comfort!! These things can be worn for days on my head. The pads being large and extremely comfortable, make earmuffs fatigue an old word not necessary anymore. Clamp force is just perfect. I like a tighter clamp force myself, but when they are too tight, you get ear fatigue, these are either just under the border line or designed so well, it doesnt matter. Let's say, y look need to shake your head pretty hard (headache hard for me) to get them to move around. I cant recommend these enough. I only got two for the different color, really no need for the average person. I would have three if I was loaded lol. Buy them, enjoy them and you wont regret it.

I would rate as zero if I could. The headphone's audio did not function out of the box. I spent an hour troubleshooting on my own, then called Dyson tech support. They had me repeat all the steps I had already completed without success. I was then told I could exchange for a new pair but the exchange would take a minimum of 18 business days after they received the headphones in their service center. They would only pay for ground shipping and estimated 4-5 days in transit. So their quality issue became my inconvenience. Nearly a calendar month to get a new pair under warranty for a nearly $500 US device that was a Christmas gift. When I learned this I told them forget the exchange and that I would return them for a refund and buy another brand. Good customer service would have been to dispatch a new pair immediately upon receipt of the faulty device. But 18 business days ? Not a company I want to do business with. Goodbye Dyson !

Great sound and noise blocking, very strong and good qualify,if you listen something and slide one ear out whatever you watch goes automatically on pause, long time battery, very comfortable, charging fast,great product for its money

these headphones are such a cute design. i love the way they look. the ability to customize them makes it a unique pair unlike anything on the market. besides that, there isn’t much going for them. the sound quality is decent, but not nearly as good as other headphones on the market. a lot of reviews say that these are heavy, but i don’t really notice it. the fit is easy to adjust, and I like the way they sit. the only thing i dislike is that if you tilt your head down, the headphones rotate forward, since all of the weight is built into the headpiece, which houses the battery. the ear cups are comfortable. in comparison, the AirPods Max are way better. I love special audio on Apple products, which these headphones aren’t able to do. The headphones require an app to change the eq settings, which is slightly annoying. I prefer the sound when I put them in the “bass boost” mode, but the only other two options are “normal mode” and “flat mode”. the transparency mode in these headphones is really mediocre, and is not nearly as good as the AirPods Max. i have found that the noise canceling mode actually blocks out less sound than having it in “off mode”. another thing i dislike is that the only way to activate off mode is through the dyson app. there is a double tap function on the side of the right ear cup, but it only switches between transparency and noise cancellation, making it so you have to go into the app for off mode. there is a tiny joystick on the right ear cup, which serves as a volume and music controller. it kind of sucks. every time i push it to skip, it pauses the music. i will be personally returning these as there is an issue where the right ear cup sounds muffled when in transparency mode. this is probably an error with the specific unit that i received, but at this price point, errors are unacceptable. my overall verdict is that these headphones are great for people who are into fashion/want aesthetic headphones or who just love dyson products in general, and have the extra money to spend. my recommendation for anyone with the money to buy these is to buy the AirPods Max instead.
