Dyson's OnTrac headphones are discounted to AU$299 — as an audio expert, these are the 3 over-ears I would recommend instead

It’s been just over two years since Dyson introduced its second pair of headphones, the OnTrac, to the world.

While they were a significant improvement — both in terms of sound and general design — over the Zone, I ultimately found in my Dyson OnTrac review that they still couldn’t quite challenge the class leaders — namely Sony and Bose.

A strong factor in that realisation was their exorbitant AU$799 price tag.

Not only was that too much for the Dyson headphones (regardless of brand name), it also allowed other manufacturers to charge AU$700 or more for their premium cans — here’s looking at you, Sony, Bose and Sennheiser.

Now, two years later, the Dyson OnTrac has plummeted to a much more acceptable AU$299 during Dyson’s Spring Sale event .

At this price, I think they’re worth a look.

The noise cancellation is very good, and a 55-hour battery life gives them greater stamina than the closest competitors.

I also can’t really fault the ability to customise them, since it’s a feature that’s still pretty unique.

That being said, they’re incredibly heavy, so I found I could only wear them for short stints.

At this price, the Dyson OnTrac becomes a lot easier to recommend, although I’d still tread with caution.

Their looks may make them stand out from the crowd, but where audio quality is concerned, they can be beaten.

Although I don’t see them getting any cheaper, even during Black Friday 2026 sales in Australia later this year.

However, for your AU$300, or thereabouts, you’re not short of great alternatives.
