      Wonder if the Ontrac replacement pads work on these. Otherwise you’d be shit out of luck when they need replacing.

      • RBZ10 on 04/01/2025 - 18:31

        Having checked a teardown of the zone and a review of the ontrac the mechanism for the earcups is the same 2 long bars top and bottom and 2 short bars each side. Its literally the same headphones just the ontrac doesnt have the airfilter.

        Even the ontracs have references to the zone under the changable colour plates. Would be good if could strip filters and fan out and just have headphones, cheap way to get those "new" $700 ontracs lol

        • Lord Fungus on 07/01/2025 - 09:55

          I checked with Dyson, and sadly according to them, the ear cushions are not interchangeable between the Zone and OnTrac?

            @Lord Fungus: Its literally the same headphone, I just recieved my zones and have looked at the images of the ontracs the mechanism is the same its the samr hesdphones just with a slightly diff case and no air purifier.

            Images of the 2:

            Doesnt mean im 100% but that def looks 99% the same.

            The ontracs are just to sell all the headphone parts they bought for the zones that didnt sell.

          • caprimulgus on 07/01/2025 - 12:17

            @Lord Fungus: I would be very surprised if they don't fit. The design of the mechanism is exactly the same, so they would have had to adjust the moulds to make them incompatible - and why would they do that? It makes no sense to make a new mould, instead of using the existing ones.

            Much more likely that the support person you spoke to just has no idea what they are talking about. They probably looked up the ear cushions to see what headphones they are listed as compatible with (they are only listed as being compatible with the Ontrac), and went by that info.

        • Lord Fungus on 07/01/2025 - 19:54

          @RBZ10 @caprimulgus I must admit I was surprised. I guess there’s only one way to find out for sure - who’s got both and can do a real world test?

          • RBZ10 on 07/01/2025 - 20:15

            @Lord Fungus: Just need to buy the cups and fit them to the zone dont need both lol.

                Now I’m in a quandary, as I’ve just discovered JB have both the Absolute and regular model for the same price. I definitely prefer the ultra blue colour over the Prussian, although you get more and different accessories with the Absolute…

    Just out of curiosity - How many of you here, reading the comments, have actually seen someone wear the headphones with the face /filter component in public??

    My anecdotal observation - none.

    I think the big question is if the headphones alone are worth it?

  • jlwjlg on 05/01/2025 - 01:23

    Good deal! Good for hay fever in spring season. It would be great for home use. However, wearing it in the public, I can imagine will turn many heads and really stand out.

      Don't know as can't afford any of their stuff usually

    • eug on 05/01/2025 - 10:53

      As with everything, it's subjective. What's gimmicky to you might be useful to others just like what's useful to you might be gimmicky to others.

      I like their tower fans and heaters as the design is nice and the wifi integration works very well with Home Assistant. Those are really useless gimmicky features to most of my friends so I would never recommend a Dyson fan to them unless they like the design, but those features are the main reason why I bought them. Used, of course.

      These headphones definitely look gimmicky in a country with good air quality but maybe people who live in heavily-polluted cities, or suffer from hayfever, or in a bushfire zone could find it useful.

    https://www.printables.com/model/1126520-dyson-zone-backplat…

    I actually dont mind the cheese-grater cups - it's the vibrant blue colourway that I find offensive! Lol. The prussian blue colourway looks way better, but that's a Dyson website exclusive unfortunately. I'm considering whether to plastidip spray the blue parts…

      Looks like you'd need to remove the fans as well as the filter and cage. Can't seem to find any DIY mod guides online, would love to give it a go. Essentially they become Dyson OnTracs for $200

  • uccoffee on 06/01/2025 - 12:20

    do you think it is great for mowing the lawn? any one try? I am using MS surface headphone for mowing the lawn now, seems ok. but with the dyson air purifier mask seems great protection for the dust / pollen , how often do they recommend to change the filter?

    • rumblytangara on 06/01/2025 - 12:22

      The blub says that it uses an electrostatic filter. Which will be overwhelmed really fast with all the crap generated when cutting grass, and expensive to replace.

      These Dyson headphone/facemasks products are just a terrible idea all round.

      A 3M half face respirator will look slightly less stupid, be cheaper, more comfortable, and far more effective.

        Not just that. The Absolute+ model has an extra set of filters, in flight adapter kit, a carry strap case and two extra pouches.

        Plus it has cheaper shipping cost for some reason.

          Oh, right. Bugger then, should've bought that. I can't find any reviews of the two different cases online, do they have the same RRP?

            +1

            @Liger Zero: The quarter turn case is like a standard headphone case, with a nice locking mechanism. Would be smaller and more form fitting.

            The "explorer" case, I believe, is more like a small hard tote - like a single large pocket to carry everything in, with a shoulder strap.

            I would prefer the quarter turn case, personally. But I much much much prefer the colourway ob the Explorer version, and the accessories are a bonus!

            If I keep both, I'll use the explorer headphones with the quarter turn case for myself! 👍

            • abc on 07/01/2025 - 18:31

              @caprimulgus: Did you buy another?

              I'm thinking that and returning the other one. Is return postage free?

              • caprimulgus on 07/01/2025 - 18:34
                +1

                @abc: Yeah, I bought both. Will either return the other pair (if we can), or keep it. Havent decided.

                Actually - the two cases seem to be a similar size. Just a different style: clamshell headphone case vs hard satchel. I'd still prefer the quarter turn probably, but could live with either.

                • abc on 07/01/2025 - 19:08

                  @caprimulgus: The Absolute+ is $100 more at RRP with the extra accessories it’s a no brainer if you only bought one.

                  • caprimulgus on 07/01/2025 - 19:17

                    @abc: For me personally, the colourway is more important than the extra accessories. If the colours had been switched, I would take the dark blue with quarter turn over the bright blue with explorer case (and extra accessories).

                    I dislike the bright blue enough to plastidip them to get rid of the colour…so for me, it's the difference between having to do that, or being fine with the darker blue!

                    As I said, the extra stuff (In-Flight Kit, extra pouches) are a nice bonus, but I dont really care about them. YMMV.

    • caprimulgus on 07/01/2025 - 18:22

        • elektron on 08/01/2025 - 09:53

          Strange statement. Their sound doesn't change regardless of how much you paid for them or whether you got them for free. They sound much closer Focal Bathys than Sony 1000XM5. I own both.

            @elektron: I think the “hate” from these comes from the perception that you must use the purifying feature for them to work - you don’t.

            Quality set of over ear headphones at 80-90% off RRP is a steal.

          • congo on 08/01/2025 - 10:23

            @elektron: What profile do you use when they sound closer Focal Bathys?
            Is the bass boost profile any good?

            • elektron on 08/01/2025 - 15:30

              @congo: I like Enhanced on most tracks and Bass Boost on some (that aren't too bassy already). I think the Bathys profile is somewhere in between the two.

              This may sound crazy, but they sound kind of like Bathys in DAC mode, especially given that the Zone only support AAC. I don't know what Dyson have done with the DSP, but this is the best bluetooth headphone I've ever heard, period.

          • drprox on 08/01/2025 - 10:48

            @elektron: Stoked if they sound like bathys. Whilst I don't own those my stereo speakers are Focal and I use a pair of Elegia (oratory tuned via qudelix 5k) daily too.

              @drprox: I can't believe it, but I'm liking them more than the Bathys and more than the B&O H95 (good subbass rumble, but they lack clarify). They just sound more exciting and with great subbass as well. In either Bass Boost on some tracks, but mostly Enhanced EQ. This is surprising, as they only support AAC, unlike the Barhys' near-lossless AptX, unless you're using an iPhone.

              • ATTS on 08/01/2025 - 15:27

              • xmchen on 08/01/2025 - 18:42

                @elektron: I like Bathys more than the Dyson..it's objective anyway. The weight of the Dyson is a challenge for me after listen to it for a couple of hours. I may like the Dyson more once after the burn in period.

                • elektron on 08/01/2025 - 19:13

                  @xmchen: I don't feel the weight of the Dyson on my head, but those cups are massive, so I don't see using it outside of my house.

                  To me, they sound more fun than the Bathys, the subbass is definitely better and I would say the instrument separation is too. The build quality is also better than the Bathys. And I do like my Bathys, But there's a big difference un sound quality via Bluetooth and its built-in DAC. This is quite apparent when streaming high-res tracks from Tidal.

                  What I find perplexing is that the Zone via the AAC codec sounds closer to the Bathis un DAC mode.

                  Regards of the subjective sound preferences, these are top-tier ANC headphones, only let down by the lack of multipoint and the bulky size (it's more of an issue for me personally, than their weight).

                  The case is also top quality, but I wouldn't travel with it due to the size and the weight. The XM5's are much better for that (or even or the foldable XM4's for that matter).
