Dyson is targeting users seeking to protect themselves from air pollution with its Zone headphones combining audio with air filtration. Worn like typical over-ear headphones, the Zone's visor extends down around the mouth to deliver fresher air from a HEPA filter. Available in a range of colours, the headphones retail from GBP749 ($1,035), rising to GBP819 at the top of the range. The air filter works with four speeds, and Dyson says that once moving, the device is "as loud as a rubbish implementation of ambient mode". The company has a track record of making household devices that focus on filtration, including fans and medical inventions, as well as vacuum cleaners. However, experts say they will have to address the strange appearance of the visor to make the headphones likely to be adopted across the market.
