Air-purifying headphones with active noise cancelling

Battling air pollution

City air can be high in pollutants - from industrial emissions, to car exhausts. And in public spaces, air can also contain higher levels of bacteria and allergens.

30 years of filtration expertise.
6 years of research.
500 prototypes.

For six years, Dyson engineers worked on a way to purify your air. Not just indoors but outdoors as well.

Development to overcome the complexity of fitting a working filtration system into such a small space is progressed. Technology is re-engineered to provide optimum performance while minimising the size.

Engineered to breathe

Dyson engineers developed a manikin with a set of mechanical lungs. Programmed to breathe as a human does, it enabled us to accurately test the correct amount of airflow through the Dyson Zone™ air-purifying headphones.

Features

Air purification

Dyson engineering expertise enabled us to develop our first wearable device. With a 2-stage purification system capable of filtering city fumes and pollutants. So, wherever you are, you can breathe purified air.
Contact-free visor

The visor channels a continuous stream of purified air to your nose and mouth, without touching your face. For natural, comfortable breathing with no stuffiness.
High-fidelity audio

We also built Dyson's first premium audio technology – delivering immersive, high-fidelity sound, with advanced active noise cancelling to block out unwanted disturbance.
