The concept of combining headphones with noise cancellation with a air purifier integrated sounds like something out of a dystopian science fiction movie set in a world with high technology but poor air quality. However, it is actually a device real, one that we will soon be able to buy. Dyson has indeed presented a sci-fi headset that we still struggle to frame. After six years of development and dozens of prototypes, the company presents The Zone, his first foray into the wearable market.
Dyson presents its first wearable product: headphones that combine an air purification filter with ANC technology
The Zone by Dyson are noise-canceling supra-aural headphones that simultaneously provide a immersive sound it's a purified air flow to the nose and mouth. In fact, more than headphones they look like a helmet thanks to a bizarre-looking magnetic visor. Despite its quirkiness, the company claims that tackles urban problems air quality and noise pollution. We remind you that the company has been working on the product for years, such as announced Bloomberg in 2018.

Employing the same compression technology of the Dyson home air purifiers, the visor has four modes air purification: low, medium, high and automatic. The air filter component does not touch your face, but is located in front of it. Furthermore, the visor can be removed if we want to use it only as a headset. The compressors in each auricle they draw in air through the double layer filters and project two streams of purified air onto the wearer's nose and mouth, channeled through the visor.
According to Dyson, The Zone can filter up to 99% of pollution of the air. However, it should also be noted that i filters are not reusable and must be replaced after about a year depending on the amount of air pollution encountered. Nothing is known about the price date exit still.
