Ever felt while enjoying music through headphones that what it really needs is an air purifier? Dyson has fulfilled this unusual wish with its latest product, the Dyson Zone. It combines over-ear headphones with an air purifier, creating a unique device that covers the wearer’s face with an air purifying visor over the mouth and nose.
This innovation may seem like a response to the increased demand for home air purifiers during the pandemic, but Dyson has been working on this concept for six years. Dyson stated, “Originally a snorkel-like clean air mouthpiece paired with a backpack to hold the motor and inner workings, the Dyson Zone air-purifying headphones evolved dramatically over its six years in development.”
Dyson also mentioned, “More than 500 prototypes saw one motor initially placed at the nape become two compressors, one in each ear-cup and the evolution of the snorkel mouthpiece into an effective, contact-free visor that delivers clean air without full-face contact – a brand-new clean air delivery mechanism.”
