“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.”

“I just reviewed the Marshall Major V and that pair offers about 100 hours and costs about a quarter the price”

“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.”

“Now compared to sleeker options like the Sonos Ace or AirPods Max, the Dyson OnTrac headphones are big and bulky.”

Noise cancellation

“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.”
WhatGearAug 2024at 12:53 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)

Had a problem 9

“I don't like the fact that to toggle between noise cancellation and sound transparency, you will need to double tap this little circle in the middle of the ear cup and a lot of times it's a hit or miss for me.”

“The over ear ear cushions are engineered to distribute pressure evenly around the ears, making extended listening sessions more comfortable. Combined with the carefully balanced headband, the headphones are designed for long periods of use…”

“And because they're so large, they also tend to be heavy, which means that they're not the most comfortable.”

How this is counted

One channel, one vote per topic. A channel 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 channels discussed it.

Split means a channel’s praise and criticism of a topic cancelled out. They count in the total and on neither side.

We have not tested this product. Counts describe channels with eligible assessments. Selected quotations link to their located caption passage. None of them disclosed a sponsorship, free unit, paid promotion or ad.

No disclosed relationship is the subset without a recorded sponsorship, gifted-unit classification or generic paid-promotion marker. Unrelated ads can be labelled separately; affiliate disclosures are not comprehensively audited by this table. Missing arrangements remain unknown. This subset does not prove independence or a sponsorship effect.

Selected quotations are located in saved captions. Location is distinct from semantic support, product attribution and model checks; it is not comprehensive human review.

These public editorial pages take no affiliate commission or sponsorship. Commissioned reports are a separate paid service. Page generated from saved observations, not newly collected reviews.

A commissioned report scopes the products, questions and available evidence with your team. It can distinguish recurring observations, meaningful exceptions and open questions.
