Accessories have long been clues to one's style and identity; small declarations of taste, status, subculture. And we’re seeing a renewed love for headphones. It is all about streamlined futurism and gorpcore, — where form doesn’t just match function but fundamentally enhances it.
Sliding into this visual culture of aesthetic audio gear are Dyson’s OnTrac headphones. Taking cues from industrial design and streetwear alike, the headphones offer a modular system of customisable parts that speak to the curated, intentional aesthetics of today.
At their core, they are built for immersive an immerseive and balanced listening experience that is both crystal clear and dynamic. Advanced Active Noise Cancellation allows you to cocoon yourself in your world, whether it's a podcast during a crowded train ride or by using ambient textures while walking through the city. A single charge gives you up to 55 hours of listening, but what stands out more than battery stats is how thoughtfully they’re designed to be worn all day for comfort. There’s a distinct emphasis on comfort as luxury, a nod to how we treat our tech like second skin.
Dyson's headphones bring cutting-edge sound technology to the forefront of personal audio with a focus on immersive, high-fidelity listening. Engineered with two custom-built 40mm, 16-ohm neodymium speaker drivers, these headphones go beyond the standard frequency range—extending from an ultra-low 6 Hz to a high-end 21,000 Hz. This expanded range ensures listeners experience rich sub-bass and brilliant treble, capturing music exactly as the artist intended. To complement this exceptional sound profile, Dyson incorporates best-in-class noise cancellation. Equipped with eight Active Noise Cancelling microphones, the headphones actively eliminate up to 40dB of ambient noise at a rate of 384,000 times per second, delivering a truly immersive experience even in the noisiest environments.
Moreover, its customization is where the Dyson OnTrac really leans into this fashion-meets-function narrative. With four striking core colourways — CNC Copper, CNC Aluminium, CNC Black Nickel, and the standout Ceramic Cinnabar — the headphones are crafted to be a statement . And for those who want their accessories to reflect a mood, match their outfit, or even a season, the ear cushions and outer caps are interchangeable. You can mix and match materials, finishes, and tones using the online 360° visualiser and can custom build your own set.
This kind of flexibility in design aligns with how we currently engage with our own personal styles. Your tech should be able to evolve with you, not just functionally, but visually. We’ve seen it with phone cases, smart watch bands, so why should headphones be any different?
Our personality comes from the story we tell about ourselves. It’s pieced together from small, everyday choices. The jacket you reach for without thinking; the song you keep coming back to; the way your accessories reflect your mood. Tech, now more than ever, has just found its way into that mix. Which is what the OnTrac headphones embody. It's an intentional aesthetic choice and something that lives and feels closer to our skin; something that's personal, flexible, and expressive all at once.
With premium acoustics and advanced noise control, the OnTrac headphones are priced at ₹44,900.00, positioning them as a top-tier choice for audiophiles and design-forward listeners alike. Get them here.
