Dyson OnTrac headphones review: When the basics aren’t enough

The OnTrac headphones ($ 500 ) have a classic Dyson color scheme and build with long battery life.

Dyson says it will sell additional sets of the outer caps and cushions with over 2,000 possible combinations across all of the components.

The headphones work with the MyDyson app, but there aren’t a lot of features there.

The lack of advanced features keep this premium set of cans from competing with the best.

Dyson 's OnTrac headphones are pleasant to listen to in terms of overall detail.

The stock tuning is void of the depth that a lot of flagship headphones offer.

Sony ’s WH-1000XM5 is our current top pick for best wireless headphones.

For significantly less you’ll get a host of advanced features that will make your life easier.

With a less-than-stellar audio profile and average ANC performance, the lack of advanced features means you’re settling for a decent set of headphones when better options are available for much less. The customizable design is a plus, as is the impressive battery life and hearing health feature, but you can get the long runtime elsewhere. At the end of the day , I’m not sure the design is enough to make these headphones stand out from the crowd..
