My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Dyson Zone Headphones
It seems like an eternity ago when the Dyson Zone was making the rounds on social media in the spring of 2022. This noise-cancelling, headphone, and air purifier combo device was selling for $949.99 back then, but you can now get it for less than half the original price and the lowest price it’s ever sold on Amazon, according to price tracking tools .
Back in the spring of 2022, when the Dyson Zone was announced, the world was still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic—it’s no surprise that air purifiers were very popular. Unfortunately for Dyson, the official launch kept getting delayed, and while the headphones were never sold for COVID-19 purposes, the Dyson Zone didn’t go on sale until spring 2023, two months before the US government declared the pandemic over.
As you might have guessed, $949.99 for active noise-canceling headphones that could blast purified air into your face in 2023 was bound to be priced harshly, and it was. The so-called “Mask of Bane” received “average” reviews from PCMag, largely due to its price. But how do they fare today at $399.99? It’s much better than before if you think you can say it publicly.
The best over-ear headphones with ANC are in this price range, so they’re hard to justify if you’re just looking for headphones with ANC. But if you like the idea of a clean air feature, it might be worth it, especially if you commute to work in a city like New York and ride the subway during rush hour (the smells can be unpleasant in the summer).
Keep in mind that there are no seals on the visors, so you are still exposed to outside air. However, visors theoretically reduce exposure to harmful particles and gases, as well as odors, and act as a cooling fan. The app also has a harmful gas sensor, so you can put on an air purifier visor when it makes sense.
