Dyson OnTrac problems

“The premium aluminum body finish and the microfibre cushions feel quite soft, but the weight, it's quite heavy to wear for a long time at 451 grams.”

“for me personally even fully extended they are still too small they only extend this much and and fully extended they barely cover my ears”

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

“However, in terms of comfort, I think they are not the most comfortable headphones.”

“after long periods of use, the size and the weight of these ear cups do become a bit too much for the side of my head. These are pretty heavy headphones”

“Dyson tried to balance the weight by placing two battery cells in the headband. And while that helps, you still feel the heft.”

“The only thing that would hold me back from 100% recommending the Dyson OnTrac headphones is their price. $500 is a lot of money to spend especially on a single tech product like headphones.”

“Personally, I couldn't imagine a scenario where I go out and spend $500 on the Dyson OnTrac headphones. There are options with more smart features, better specs at a lower price.”

“There is no plug included which at this price point does feel a touch cheap.”

“these are not worth $450, I would say that these are worth maybe 250, 50 maybe 300 at max, but $450 for these, no, I would never pay $450 for a pair of these kind of headphones”

“I just got these in the mail... half the price... I would almost be willing to bet my left testicle that these are going to sound twice as good.”

“out of the box, it does sound a little thin because by default, it really sounds very flat”

“Sound lacks dynamic punch and subtlety compared to competitors”

“Aluminum covers the outer ear cups. These aluminum parts do catch major fingerprints since mine are a loaner pair and have been through several sets of hands, the smudging and muckiness is quite noticeable in person”

“as a headphone this is this is a little strange looking this is very bulky very heavy it's relatively heavy compared to other products that the competition does on the market”

“I won't lie, my initial impression just solely based on the looks was not that great.”

“And third, they're just ridiculously big.”

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

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