Deal | Dyson's controversial Zone ANC headphones get a massive 74% discount for the first time
Dyson's contentious Zone Active Noise Cancelling Headphones are now available at a massive discount on Woot, dropping from the original $699.99 to just $179.99 (74% off). At this price, these headphones are among the lowest they've ever been, and stock is not expected to last long. Additionally, price tracking website camelcamelcamel shows that the headphones haven't dropped below $299.99 since their launch. What makes this model special is the detachable contact-free visor that purifies air right where the user breathes, without requiring the visor to touch the face.
Inside the box, users will find the primary Dyson Zone headphones, a travel visor, USB-C charging cable, visor sleeve and cleaning brush, a hard carrying case, and electrostatic filters. The Absolute+ variant adds a soft pouch, explorer carrying case with strap, in-flight adapter kit, and additional filters, with color options of Ultra Blue & Silver or Prussian Blue & Gold. Dyson has equipped these headphones with eight microphones dedicated to noise cancellation and two more for calls and transparency. The headphones come with micro-suede cushions designed for long-term comfort. Sound can be custom-tuned via the Dyson EQ system, and the headphones pair with the MyDyson app to monitor air quality, battery life, and filter status.
As far as real-world performance reviews go, the Dyson Zone has good sound quality and active noise cancellation, with matching call clarity and unique features such as air filtration. Battery life is strong, delivering up to 50 hours with noise cancellation or up to four hours in air purification mode. However, multiple users and reviewers have found the overall weight and bulkiness to be big drawbacks, particularly when using the air purification fan, which adds a fair amount of audible noise during operation. Plus, multiple consumers have had issues with how the headphones look like when being worn.
It is important to note that these headphones have been discontinued by Dyson, making this deal one of the last opportunities to buy them at a steep discount. Free standard shipping is available, and the product comes with a 2-year Dyson manufacturer warranty.
