Dyson OnTrac

Der Dyson OnTrac besticht durch exzellente Verarbeitung, individuelles Design und starke Akkulaufzeit. Allerdings bieten selbst günstigere Kopfhörer mehr Funktionen und modernere Technik. Das Noise Cancelling arbeitet dagegen hervorragend. Designliebhaber, die auf Anpassungsmöglichkeiten Wert legen, werden den OnTrac schätzen, müssen jedoch weitere Investitionen einplanen.

Warum der Staubsauger-Hersteller Kopfhörer macht, wissen wir nicht. Der Dyson OnTrac ist aber eine interessante Alternative zu anderen Premium-Kopfhörern.

Dyson really seems to be taking audio seriously and the OnTrac is a more accessible and acceptable pair of headphones compared to the Zone. They sound good rather than great or exceptional, but a 55-hour run time and very good noise cancellation means you could at least give them an audition… as long as their rather exorbitant price tag doesn’t put you off.

If you’re a fan of Dyson’s design, you might be inclined to spend big on the OnTrac headphones. With a less-than-stellar audio profile and average ANC performance, the lack of advanced features means you’re settling for a decent set of headphones when better options are available for much less. The customizable design is a plus, as is the impressive battery life and hearing health feature, but you can get the long runtime elsewhere. At the end of the day, I’m not sure the design is enough to make these headphones stand out from the crowd.

Technically the Dyson OnTrac are an impressive pair of over-ears. From a design perspective, they’re brilliantly bold and stylish. Judged on the audio, they’re entertaining but rival pairs are more musical and have more fun.

A strong effort from Dyson with a solid foundation, but there’s room for improvement if it wants to beat the class leaders at this premium price
