Dyson, yes, the dyson who made the hair dryer and the vacuum cleaner, they were working again... A few days ago, Dyson launched its first wearable product, although it looks a bit ..."stitching monster". Official information shows that the new device is called dyson zone, which is a set of noise-canceling headphones that incorporate air purification functions.
Judging from the official promotional video, dyson zone has a non-contact mask that can cover the position of the wearer's nose and mouth, which looks very futuristic and technological. But it made me very dramatic, always thinking of Ant-Man and Aggart. Dyson integrates its air filtration system into the earcups, effectively equivalent to a miniature version of Dyson's air purification unit, capable of blowing filtered air onto the user's nose and mouth. In other words, it's a bit like a portable fan acting on the lower half of your face.
Dyson said the product aims to make life in urban spaces more comfortable by trying to reduce air and noise pollution. Their engineers have been working on this product for 6 years. Dyson said the mask area can filter up to 99 percent of particulate contamination; It is important to note that the filter is not reusable and needs to be replaced after about a year. The specific replacement time will depend on the degree of air pollution in the user's environment and the frequency of use of the headset.
In terms of making headphones, Dyson is more "honest". Dyson equipped Zone with the first self-developed advanced audio technology that delivers immersive, high-fidelity sound and active noise cancellation to block unwanted distractions. Noise reduction is provided through a combination of passive cancellation of the overall design and active noise cancellation through a range of microphones.
There are three different noise reduction modes on the Dyson Zone. When the mask is raised, the isolation mode is activated, at which point the headset will turn on active noise cancellation; Lowering the bezel will automatically switch to conversation mode, which disables active noise reduction; There is also a pass-through mode that prevents the filtering out of important sounds such as car horns and sirens. The device is charged via Type-C, and the headset can also be connected to the Dyson Link app, giving users more detailed information about the air quality around them.
Overall, the idea of this product is good, but it is still a bit too avant-garde to implement. According to foreign media feedback that has already experienced the prototype, because the filter device is integrated in the ear cups, even in the noise reduction mode, the sound of the compressor when working will still affect the effect of the headphones. Also, the earcups are a bit large, and although Dyson claims to have put a lot of effort into comfort, the top-heavy feel is still worrying. This product is not yet on the market, and we expect Dyson to bring more relevant information to facilitate more consumers to understand. We are also happy to see more black technology products emerging.
