Dyson killed his bizarre headphones for air purification

“The area was the result of six years of modeling and tests, to create perhaps dozens of tools of tools. Even if you take only a team of 10 people, working on this project for six years, you are talking about many expenses,” says Lam. “The tuning of the sound is expensive, the prototype tests are very expensive. It is difficult to calculate exactly, but I am sure that it will cost millions of dollars. And the result is a product without revenue, without profit margin and any visibility. I have not seen a single couple worn in Hong Kong.”

And Hong Kong is not the only Asian territory in which the anecdotal evidence for the area is not interesting, despite the fact that Dyson is a branded brand in Asia, with enormous presence. No important dealer can help you. Al Earn the city megastoreWhich at 11 stories is the largest Singapore consumption electronics shop, are not available. TO Eee-EarphoneThe largest Japanese headphone dealer are not even available.

Yodobashi It is the largest chain in the world of electronic stores, but when Wired he visited the Kyoto branch recently the Dyson area was evident only by his absence – and this is an electronic shop with a “wireless headphones” department which has a comfortably larger imprint than that of the average Japanese apartment.

Dyson has launched his Over-Ear-Ear-Canceling ontrac headphones without wider innovative/unnecessary/bizarre features (Choice of the reader) in July 2024, just over a year after the area. And as a way to enter the market with a product that does not actively frighten people and to compete with consolidated brands on a similar basis, it seems a reasonable move.

Certainly, our revision of the Honcom discusses the excellent cancellation of the noise, the well balanced sound and the interesting industrial design. We gave them an 8 out of 10, together with a coveted badge “Wired”: a cry far from the evaluation of the area and rather the turnaround. Jake is rightly proud of them. In addition, the transition from the area to Ontc shows a defined path despite the poor fortunes of Dyson’s first swing in audio.

“We learned many lessons. It would be stupid not to bring things beyond audio,” says Jake. “Looking at other headphones out there, they all seem the same: black plastic, not very beautiful shapes. Aesthetically, there is something deeply missing in terms of headphones. We thought we could get the best cancellation of the noise out there and also bring something more interesting in terms of design. Engineer a beautiful product, bring customization and more fashion element.”

Since Ontc has clearly sold significantly more in the area, Dyson considers the area a product that has not worked and ONRAC one who has made? “[We’ve sold] Ten times [more]—And we launched ONRAC last July, even if it could be said that September was when it was a life. Normally it takes about six months before people realize that there is something there. ONRAC has worked. [As for the Zone] We never consider anything of a failure, because we always learn something. “
