Titanium Media App reported on March 30 that Dyson officially released the Dyson Zone air purification headphones. This is also Dyson’s first entry into the field of wearable devices. This launch In addition to its air purification function, the new product also supports active noise reduction technology, which can solve urban air quality and noise pollution problems at the same time.

In communication with Dyson engineers, he told Titanium Media App in 2009. After Dyson launched its first bladeless fan in 2015, engineers shifted the focus of research and development from the flow of single air to using clean air to heat or cool the room. Dyson launched its first purification fan in 2015. Since then. It has successively developed technologies such as formaldehyde removal, clean humidification and whole-machine HEPA filtration.

Dyson Zone air purification headphones will be Dyson’s next key product and Dyson’s first entry into the wearable and audio fields. Step by step, it can provide users with high-quality filtering performance anytime and anywhere.

According to Dyson engineers, Dyson Zone air purification headphones have spent 6 years in research and development, during which more than 500 have been designed The prototype, unlike ordinary masks, is equipped with a high-performance filter and two small air pumps that can deliver clean air without touching the face. The headphones support 4 air purification modes: low speed mode, medium speed mode, high speed mode and automatic mode.

Since different exercise levels will produce different breathing patterns, Dyson Zone air purifying headphones are equipped with an acceleration detector. In automatic mode, its purification speed can be automatically adjusted between high speed, medium speed and low speed. , in addition, after the mask is removed, the product can also be used as an ordinary active noise reduction headset.

In terms of configuration, there is a compressor in the earmuffs on both sides of the headset to suck air into the double-layer filter. The motor that powers the compressor is the smallest among all Dyson products currently. It is also one of the difficulties in the development of Dyson Zone air purifying headphones. In addition to inhaling air, the two motors also deliver two purified airflows to the wearer's mouth and nose through the non-contact mask.

This non-contact air flow delivery method is also one of the core technologies of Dyson Zone air purification headphones. To achieve this, we must first optimize the geometry and curvature of the mask, and The central grid that delivers two airflows simultaneously ensures that filtered clean air can be effectively delivered to the wearer's mouth and nose in crosswind environments.

Due to the lack of existing testing methods. , Dyson engineers also specially developed a simulated human breathing model called "Frank", which is equipped with mechanical lungs and sensing equipment.

Frank can 'breathe in' pollutants in a control chamber that simulates human breathing patterns. Engineers then measure the pollution levels in Frank's nasopharynx to determine the product's efficiency at filtering particulate matter that would otherwise end up in Frank's artificial lungs. middle.

In terms of filtration technology, the filter of Dyson Zone air purifying headphones adopts a double-layer structure, in which the negatively charged electrostatic filter media can capture ultra-fine particles such as allergens, as well as traffic roads, industrial combustion and construction Particulate matter generated during construction. Another layer of potassium-rich carbon layer filter can capture urban gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).

At the same time, in order to isolate noise and improve sound quality performance, Dyson Zone air purifying headphones are also equipped with ANC active noise reduction technology and support 3 active noise reduction modes. In terms of sound adjustment, wearing Dyson engineers said that the new product will focus on low distortion and neutral frequency response.

In terms of wearing, as Dyson’s first wearable device, Dyson engineers tested the Dyson Zone air purifying headphones with different head shapes. The fit also provides a reference for the clamping force of the headband, the geometry and material of the mask, and the adjustability of the device.

In addition, Dyson Zone air purifying headphones are also made by wearers. The products jointly created by Sen's global technical team are jointly developed and designed by a team of engineers from the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia and China. Among them, engineers from Southeast Asia are responsible for software development to ensure a smooth user experience and provide Smart, practical air and noise pollution checking

Dyson has also developed it with durability in mind, and like all Dyson machines, the Dyson Zone Air Purifying Headphones have also undergone temperature testing and drop testing. , material and fabric abrasion testing, button firmness testing, etc. In addition to testing in the UK, testing engineers at Dyson’s Malaysia R&D center also conducted various product tests in Malaysia, which has a higher temperature and humidity than the UK. p>

Dyson Zone air purifying headphones are expected to be available for sale in Dyson online and offline direct stores, as well as Dyson’s official website in the fall of 2022. The specific launch time in different countries/regions is slightly different. Product specifications and launch details will be announced in the next few months (this article was first published on Titanium Media App)
