Dyson OnTrac Headphones Specifications

Dyson OnTrac headphones are equipped with 40mm neodymium drivers that can produce sound in frequencies between 6Hz and 21KHz. It offers ANC support relying on eight microphones to cancel up to 40dB of background noise. Dyson says users can simply tap on the earcups to toggle ANC mode.

The headphones can be paired with the MyDyson app to unlock additional sound customisation options. The app enables tracking of in-ear and external volume and alerts the wearer if it reaches harmful levels. It also allows them to switch between three sound EQ modes: Bass Boost, Neutral and Enhanced.

Dyson OnTrac headphones feature head-detection technology which uses capacitive sensors to determine when the earcups are removed and pause the audio. They are backed by a lithium-ion battery which is placed inside the right and left cushions on the headband. Dyson promises up to 55 hours of battery life with ANC turned on.
