Dyson Zone specifications
Dyson Zone air-purifying headphones consist of two motors which are located in each of the earcups. These help in providing purified air to the mouth and nose. The headphones offer four filtration modes — low, medium, high, and auto. Users can set these modes as per their liking.
The over the ear headphones also feature in-built accelerometers which automatically toggle the purification modes. The company reveals that the air purification mechanism of Dyson Zone depends on electrostatic filtration and it promises to capture 99 per cent of particle pollution including bacteria and dust.
Dyson also claims that the air-purifying headphones are also designed to filter out city gasses such as nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and more. The headphones feature neodymium drivers and come with three active noise cancellation modes. Isolation, Conversation, and Transparency are the three modes of active noise cancellation. The isolation mode offers the highest level of active noise cancellation and in the conversation mode, you will be able to hear the nearby conversations. The Transparency mode keeps the user aware of their surroundings.
The company also adds that in the combined air purification and audio playback mode the visor remains attached to the headphones.
