New Delhi, September 19, 2023 – Dyson, renowned for its groundbreaking home appliances, is gearing up to introduce its first-ever headphones to the Indian market on October 4th. Following its initial unveiling in select global markets in 2022 and subsequent availability worldwide, the Dyson Zone headphones are poised to make a significant impact in India. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting development.
One of the standout features of the Dyson Zone headphones is their advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system, powered by an impressive array of 11 microphones. Eight of these microphones are dedicated to enhancing the ANC capabilities, ensuring a premium listening experience.
While Dyson has wowed global consumers with headphones featuring a detachable air purification component, it’s unclear whether this feature will be included in the Indian launch. The teaser image for the Indian release does not provide any information on the inclusion of air purification functionality.
When not equipped with its air purification component, the Dyson Zone functions as a conventional headphone. It features a removable visor equipped with compressors designed to draw in ambient air. This air then undergoes a two-tier filtration process before being directed towards the user’s nose and mouth regions, potentially enhancing air quality during use.
In terms of connectivity, the Dyson Zone supports Bluetooth 5.0, offering seamless wireless audio streaming. For added versatility, it also includes a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB-C port for charging. Under the hood, a robust 2,600mAh lithium-ion battery powers the headphones. Dyson boasts an impressive battery life for the Zone, with up to 50 hours of audio playback available on a single charge. However, this figure reduces to a maximum of four hours when combining air purification functionality with audio playback. The company also claims that the Zone can achieve a full charge in just three hours, ensuring minimal downtime.
The pricing of the Dyson Zone in the Indian market will be a point of interest for many consumers. In the United States, these headphones are available for $949 (approximately Rs 78,150), making them pricier than Apple’s AirPods Max headphones, which retail for Rs 59,900 in India. Whether Dyson decides to competitively price its headphones to challenge Apple’s dominance remains to be seen.
The introduction of the Dyson Zone headphones to the Indian market marks an exciting venture into the audio product category for the renowned home appliance manufacturer. As the October 4th launch date approaches, consumers eagerly anticipate the opportunity to experience Dyson’s innovative approach to noise cancellation and potentially enhanced air quality in a headphone package.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting launch, and mark your calendars for October 4th to witness the arrival of Dyson’s groundbreaking headphones in India.
