Dyson OnTrac review by BudgetBuys
“With up to 55 hours of listening time on a single charge while using ANC, the OnTrac easily lasts through multiple workdays or long international trips without constantly searching for charger.”

“Dyson claims that you can listen for about two weeks before charging, which obviously is not two weeks straight. About 3 hours of daily average use, but that's still insane.”

“and when you take them off they go into standby after 15 minutes. That wasn't the case with the Dyson zone and it was quite annoying.”

Opinion divided — worth reading both sides before buying.

Noise cancellation

9 of 13 reviewers who discussed it liked it

Dyson OnTrac review by WhatGear
“When it comes to noise cancelling, the passive side of things is probably the best that I've ever tested so far and then the actual noise cancelling itself further amplifies this.”

Who this is counted from

Thumbnails open each reviewer's video on YouTube.

How this is counted. One reviewer, one vote per topic — a reviewer who makes six points about sound counts once, so the numbers measure reception rather than talkativeness. Specifications and stated personal preferences are excluded; only assessments and direct comparisons count. A topic appears only where at least eight reviewers discussed it.

No affiliate links, no sponsorship, and no payment from any brand mentioned. Updated September 2026.
